This sounds Amazing. Will definitely join for some of the even # PTs. Can’t wait for the first one!

It is very likely lil Johnny will not become class president. The captains of all the clubs and sports teams do not support lil Johnny.

Some culinary critics of how much John charges for his bbq ribs have maintained that only if people can taste the brown sugar in his bbq ribs will the cost he charges be justified. If the culinary critics were right about this, then John's bbq ribs would not be the best selling ribs in Chicago that even its critics acknowledge.

In the 3 months Cindy gained lots of weight, Average Joe's gym contributed to her gaining of weight by closing earlier on Tuesdays. Prior to Cindy gaining lots of weight (fat not muscle), the electric company increased the cost they were charging for electricity. Clearly, therefore, Average Joe's gym will stay open later on Tuesdays if the electric company reduces the cost they charge electricity.

Cookie cutter argument: We should go see the new 007 movie instead of the new transformers movie, at least if we want to see a movie with lots of action, because even though the 007 movie has fewer heroes, the 007 movie has a more believable plot.

Yes, one LR had 26 questions. The other had 25.

I'm so disappointed that the bank game was real.

Same, the other was like all the game sections I have ever done. Games is my strongest section but all these games felt so weird, especially compared to the other set. I felt like they were all somewhat complicated, compared to the first one where the first is usually a freebie and so on. Super upsetting

Same here, I thought I did okay on the other set of games, but the set with the bank game, I had no idea what I was doing.

@ congrats :) also thank you for sharing your story.

Running is an activity that is excellent for improving cardiovascular health. In a clinical trial, those who ran 15 miles a week and meditated 2 hrs a week boosted performance of their heart by as much as those who swam 100 laps a week and meditated 2 hrs a week.

Started with the Bible and saw my RC average drop from -2/-3 before down to -4/-5 after reading it.

Transitioned to 7Sage + Trainer and saw my RC average on PTs go up to -0/-1, which held true on the real test.

Powerscore just promotes an unrealistic strategy that is a major waste of time. Low resolution summary is the way to go. Don't bother trying to turn RC passages into a diagramming exercise like Powerscore would have you believe is the best approach. RC is about reading...so spend your time on the passage doing only that.

I found powerscore rc gimmicky with as mentioned lots of marking up of passages that didn't really help me

Cookie Cutter: version

I was eating allot more food and allot more carbs in August/September/October 2017 than I ever had before and I developed into the best shape I had ever been in during this time period. Therefore if one wants to be in their best shape they should eat more than ever and eat allot of carbs.

lol, this is true...but it was because I was training for and ran the Chicago Marathon in October 2017. All that running I did might have had something to do with it ;)

I think this is fairly on point. I've worked with a lot of people who have tried to overcome their deficiencies through picking up more and more resources. While it's certainly true that different teaching styles and methodologies are more or less effective for different people, additional resources are unlikely to yield additional understanding unless there is a significant qualitative increase.

I just made the mistake @ is talking about (again) picking up Manhattan LR. I would also take what he said about additional resources being unlikely to further your understanding further. If it is the case where you don't further your understanding, as you were seeking, then that time past without you moving toward your goal. In addition, each resource is going to use at least some differences (question classification, approach, etc) and depending on the differences and how you adjust to them it could actually have an additional consequence, besides just lost time. For resources, I would say find something that clicks and make sure you give it time. I have used a lot of different resources (LR Bible, Manhattan, LSAT Trainer, Blueprint, 7 Sage). The combination that seems to work best for me has been Trainer and 7Sage (only using trainer for LR). I would also say that the LR Bible, in my case, had some of those additional consequences. In my case, I know that I didn't give the trainer the time I should have, expecting faster results.

Congratulations on your offer of admission and your merit scholarship! You should make the best decision for you and your future. Your Why X essay is not a binding promise. School 1 has not even made a final decision on your file and you don't know when that might happen. It is possible they might not get to your file for days or weeks, you don't know. If you are getting close to the deposit deadline for School 2, you could reach out to School 1 and politely ask about your application status because you have a deposit deadline for another school but you are still interested in School 1. School 1 will likely ask you about your other offer and award, but if not, you should give this information so School 1 can "make a fully informed decision" when they do. If you haven't heard back from School 1 with a final decision by School 2's first deposit deadline, you should put down a deposit so you have a place to attend come August. If, after the first deposit deadline, you are indeed admitted to School 1, then you can decide which school presents the better opportunity. You may have to eat that first seat deposit with School 2, but in the big picture, it is a small price to pay for the right learning environment for you. Good luck!

thanks @!! I have to say that the help I have gotten from you and @ on the weekly calls and within the admissions course has been a huuuuuuge help for my cycle!! :smiley:

yeah. I think that you all are right. I will just wait and see. thank you @ and @ this helped big time!! :)

Even though it is not binding and it was foolish to maybe put in that essay, it is my word...and that is why I am thinking I will probably withdraw before they have the chance to admit me...that is what I am still leaning toward.

@ you seriously owe nothing to any law school unless you applied ED. I’m assuming you didn’t apply ED to your #1 choice and you didn’t ED your #2 choice either so you could just wait and see if choice #1 let’s you in and if they’d be willing to match the scholarship from choice #2 then go from there. If you applied ED to either of the schools then that’s a different story because of the binding nature of that. Congrats on getting that scholarship, that’s awesome!

thank you @ I did not apply ED to any school. It is just that line I put in the "why school x" essay...for school number 1...because of how distant the other schools are for me (after 1 and 2) it was like a hail mary toss lol

@ said:

So, I got accepted to my number 2 choice today with a very good scholarship. I am thrilled about this, but it does create a conundrum.

For my number one choice, I wrote a "why school x" essay and ended it with "if accepted, I will withdraw my other applications immediately". at the time, I honestly thought i had a shot at number 1 and didn't think I had a shot at number 2 at all. the other schools i applied to are very distant for me compared to these two and the two schools are similar enough to where if school no 1accepted me but didn't offer me money, i would seriously regret having to withdraw from school number 2 and losing out on the scholarship money. I applied to school number 1 first, but haven't heard anything yet, it is currently "In Review" status. So my question is should I 1) withdraw from school number 1 now. 2) is there some other option that i am not seeing that is an ethical alternative?

thanks

The other thing I should have added is that based on my current numbers in the 7sage predictor and when i submitted my application, i have a 44% chance of getting in at all to the no 1 school, so i think it is possible that i could get in but with little or no money compared to what i got for school no 2

Filthy. Didn't even read D or E. That "properly drawn"....had me thinking I was doing Sufficient Assumption and so when I got to C I was like thank you for the time in the bank LSAC. Just filthy, but with qualified admiration.

Below are my submissions:

"Law School: The Curve Killa Blog"

"One day lawyer"

"Some day lawyer"

"Pick a winner, me"

"Don't kill mockingbirds"

"Just in?"

"In line for a seat at the bar"

"Mission Acceptance"

hahaha, this was too much fun.

You shouldn't blame the boxer for the death of his opponent in the recent boxing match, after all, he was just doing his job and he has a responsibility to put food on his families table. It is not the boxer but the promoter who creates the environment for the match to occur. Therefore, it is the promoter whose livelihood depends on the spectacle whom is truly responsible for the death.

I have two (kinda). (1) @ proposed topic of "when seeking a consultant may be beneficial"...I like this idea...but there are two "whens" maybe... (a) like depending on an individuals circumstances (b) like temporal as in how long before you are going to be applying, how much time in advance one would need to procure such services. I would mainly be interested in a blog on the second "when" (b)

(2) Before @ entry I thinking about negotiating offers...something I hope I will need to be able to do (eventually) :) . You touched on this a little when a question was proposed about ED to VA, and I would love a blog that gave more of the insight into the negotiating of scholarship offers.

I want to be added too! :) . Also, I really like that idea about starting after the RC sessions with JY.

Me too! 😀> @ said:

Could you talk about Cookie Cutter Review if you have time for this session? What is your method of Cookie Cutter Review in your LR and RC? Thanks!

#help I originally eliminated all of the answers before deciding D was the best answer, but I still didn't feel "great" about D. My reasoning was that D seems to be about the number of rats that had abnormally high blood pressure before the study began. If I do not know the total number of rats involved in the study, how would this information help me? What am I missing?
