Thank you so much!!
I am planning to attend the New York LSAC forum next weekend and while on the east coast I want to visit schools. How should I approach emailing schools regarding meeting representatives at the forum but also in the following week with a visit?
Also, should I contact other schools of interest letting them know I am attending the forum?
Thanks in advance for any insight on forums/school visits.

Thank you in advance for any advice!
I have a weird history with the LSAT where I took the 2018 September LSAT cold because I have old school lawyers in my family that said "you don't need to study for the LSAT. If you don't do well you're not meant for law school." So I went in thinking I could do it. Obviously, I scored poorly and was very upset. I also didn't know anything about the LSAT at the time so I didn't know that cancelling a score was an option. (I apologize if y'all are eye rolling while reading this...) I graduating in May and decided to study over the summer, getting my PTs up in the 160-165 range. I went into 2019 September LSAT knowing I would perform in that range if I did well on Logic Games. Well, like most people LG killed me in the first section and I was looking for another LG the rest of the test. I cannot gauge how I did on the other sections even though I didn't feel like I struggled on Reading Comp as much as I have on PTs this summer. I cannot remember anything about the LR sections which makes me so nervous.
I was already registered for the November LSAT so I am definitely taking that now. I am just so confused reading everybody's posts about what law schools consider with multiple LSAT scores. How would it look if I have a terrible score from last year, a cancelled score for September, then retake November and score much better?
I will absolutely be submitting an addendum regarding last year's test but I just don't know what to do. I know this score will be higher than last year, but if it isn't dramatically higher I feel like law schools will look at it and say "she only improved that much after a year of studying?" and put more weight on last year's score.
Please help!!!!!
Hey there! I have worked full time through undergrad and studying for the LSAT. It is not fun but we can do it. I have found it helps so much to get up and take a walk at least once an hour (even if its just for 5 minutes). I also give myself about an hour after work to decompress, eat, play with my dog, and then dive into studying. I don't know about you but the hardest part for me is looking at a computer screen all day long. I finally got blue light glasses and think they have helped with my focus (or it's placebo effect, but either way I'll take it).
I will be there too!
