@gregoryalexanderdevine723 I am consistently scoring around 167 (BR 169, my BR only improves a couple more points I guess). I do very well in LG in general, LR and RC, i have ups and downs, but on average about 5 wrong per section. My goal is, to be realistic, bump up a couple more points to get my score above 170...haha but I do know that breaking 170 is definitely harder than it sounds.

which PTs should I take

Just wanted to get your opinions on what PTs I should do.

So I took the September exam (cancelled). and to prepare for the September exam, I used PTs from 50s to 70s (I have a couple of PT in 70s that I haven't done, only a couple). Now I am taking December LSAT and have been doing PT's in 30s and 40s because these are the ones I haven't done when I was prepping for my September LSAT.

For the last month, should I just redo some PT's in 50-70s instead of going for older PTs that I haven't done yet?

I am finding older PTs to be pretty different from the recent ones, so I am thinking it would be better to redo the recent ones.

Who should write my LORs?

Can you please help me decide on whom to ask for LOR?

I graduated undergrad 2012, went to graduate school, graduated 2013. Since then I have been working for three-four years.

I am now trying to go to law school and have been thinking of my LORs. My potential LOR Candidates are

My former supervisor whom I interned for during my undergrad years. He has great credentials and I am very close to him. Have been keeping in touch for a long time, so definitely easiest to ask for recommendation and I have no doubt that he can write me a great recommendation. Now, potential issues I have with this LOR is that 1) he is not my professor and 2) I interned for him, so this was very long ago, so I don’t know what the admission committee might think of that.

My current supervisor from a non-profit organization that I am involved in. I don’t think I can get a LOR from my main job because I can’t let the company know that I am applying to law school. However, I have been involved in this non-profit organization for as many years I have been working. It is not my primary occupation, but could even be more relevant to law school because I do more writing for this job than my primary job. My primary occupation is quantitative research, dealing with numbers and computer modeling. Now, the only issue I have with this LOR is that it is not from my main job.

A professor from my school years. Couldn’t really think of professors who would write me a good recommendation because 1) I went to a really big school 2) my major was engineering so most of the classes I took were exam oriented, requiring minimal interaction between students and professors. Fortunately, for this professor, I took his class and even became his TA. So he can probably write me a good recommendation. My issues with this LOR is that 1) I haven’t been in touch since I graduated, which was four years ago. 2) This class is a project/presentation class so I don’t know if my professor can write me the kind of recommendation that law schools are looking for. Also, maybe he will write a “meh” recommendation. Who knows what he will do whereas LOR 1) and 2), I can 100 percent guarantee that I will get really good LORs.

Now, I have been reading a lot about how an academic LOR is a must for law schools. But as you can see, I feel like I can get better recommendations from non-academic sources. So if I can get some feedback on which LORs I should get, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot
