@ I'm doing the Law School Prep course and am definitely learning and developing skills. As @ says, you can go to the site and get a good idea of the course. I don't find it as finished/polished yet as the LSAT prep course and there's virtually no discussion of or response to posted questions or comments, which is a shame and can be frustrating (to me, at least).

That said I'm finding it more than worth it -- it's given me a great way of evaluating where I am right now and the long road to where I need to get if I'm to stand a chance of getting a strong GPA in my 1L year. I really believe I'll be landing on the ground running and be in a much more competitive position for top grades if I complete the course and take all the advice (including pre-studying the black letter law) by the time the mid-August start date comes round!

@ @ Thanks for this great article. Much of the study approach content is exactly in line with what Larry (forcefully!) recommends in 7Sage's Law School Prep course.

As a 0L I am already practicing saying no for when I'm approached to join clubs, etc. On yesterday's Earth Day Google doodle quiz I came out as a giant squid and that's me - tentacles into everything. I must resist and stay focused on the goal of best possible 1L GPA!

@ Thank you! I need to believe in my future and being able to make up the $$$

Thanks for all your comments! I'll give them serious consideration in weighing up my final choice once I hear the outcome of all my applications. @ Yes, I have the funds to cover the full cost of law school, but of course if I don't have to spend this, that would be great! I'll see how the offers pan out. Thank you!!

@ I'm so glad you got revved up when you needed it! Stay strong and best wishes for getting into your top choice schools!

Thanks for your comments, @! I'm now strongly veering towards UCI Law - both my daughters are there and are having great experiences. The faculty I've met or observed teaching have been wonderful - so dynamic they got me interested in topics I hadn't anticipated ever finding interesting! Also, the admitted students I met there were interesting in diverse ways and had a different vibe to them than at other admitted student events I've attended. Soooo -- guess this all points to UCI Law being a good match for me :-D

Maybe see you at UCI Law in a year's time!

Best wishes for the next cycle, @! There's nothing modest about my career goals so I'm looking at external scholarships and a part time job to boost my $. I can afford to pay my way through law school - just have to convince my husband that it's worth me spending now to reap bigger benefits later (hopefully)!

Congrats again, @! I know when I received my first law school acceptance, it was a great relief. I knew then that yes, my dream (aged 57!) really was going to come true. Now I'm facing hard decision making related to my multiple offers and I expect you'll be faced with the same!

Thanks, @! Yes, I received some $ from UCI though not the full ride I was offered from another (lower ranked) SoCal school...

I'm curious -- do you know which law school you'll be going to? I'm wondering if I'll come across other 7Sagers if I go to UCI!

Congratulations!! Where did you get accepted?

Glad you didn't let naysayers limit your dream. Never never never!

Congrats!! Love hearing about hard work leading to dreams come true!

@ Yes, I watch How to Get Away with Murder and really got into it though it becomes progressively disturbing - I'll just say "unethical practices" so as not to give the story line away! Hope you find time to watch it.

I've applied to a bunch of the same Californian schools too! I'm admitted to UC Irvine, UC Hastings, and Chapman, so far, and am waiting on others (as well as a few favorites in DC and VA). I prefer SoCal to North, so will likely pull out of UC Hastings. As I intend to go into public interest law, I'm wondering how critical law school ranking is for me -- as background, I'm 57 and have lots of work experience and various degrees (MD PhD MSEd). Any thoughts? Full scholarship offers are attracting me :) but I don't want to be short-sighted.

Congratulations! Great achievement. Hope the June LSAT goes very well for you!

Just like @ says. Straight onto the next section.

"...they completed an intensive, three-month, 100-hour LSAT preparation course." 100 hours in 3 months?! From the discussion posts, I think a lot of us put in a significantly greater time commitment than that. How does that match others' experiences? Maybe they should scan 7Sagers' brains to see the maximum effect :)

St. Thomas University, Miami Gardens/Fort Lauderdale, runs the LSAT very efficiently and they're pleasant too. The LSAT is run in two lecture halls with each row having a continuous strip of desktop so lots of room. Lefties like me are put in a row of their own, and everyone is spaced out well so no issues laying things out the way you like.

Personally I would not recommend Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta.

@ Dean Okay, I'll be an outlier here. I reckon you could get into a strong school with your score, GPA, and background, and then you could stop torturing yourself. Just get on with applying so you don't miss more deadlines cos they're passing by!

If you perform among the top tier of students at a strong school, there will be really good job opportunities for you. I too have suffered from the trauma of three weird and frustrating LSATs (may still need therapy!) but have decided I'm definitely starting law school this year and already have very respectable acceptances to choose from.

Glad to hear you're planning on submitting some applications! Will want to know how they go and I wish you the best.

P.S. Isn't there a rule that you can't take the LSAT more than 3 times within a 2-year period? Would you have to wait till December 2015 to even be allowed to take the LSAT again? I'm not sure but worth checking and sorry if I'm mistaken.

Absolutely agree! We will all end up going somewhere great and will make the most of it. I'm definitely headed to law school this summer or fall - it'll just take a few more weeks to decide where exactly. Keep your eye on the prize, everyone :)

@ and @ Thank you!

@ S Please could you send me the link too? Thanks!

5 point increase... Hoped for more but that's that. Hope everyone else has done better!

Congratulations @ !! Still no sign of my result here in Costa Rica...

@ Thanks! Want to hear good news from you very soon!!!

So weird! I just received a law school acceptance!! Do law schools get the result that fraction sooner or is this just coincidence and they didn't wait for my Feb. LSAT score? (I've taken the test before) Regardless, I'm grateful and still focused on the gray!!!!
