I don't really post about stuff, don't know just not like me... BUT,,,, I am really excited right now because when I took the 2007 prep test at the beginning of the course I scored a 148, but now with my first prep test and I haven't even finished the course I scored a 157!!! Not my goal but definitely getting there!!! Thank you 7Sage!

@ Hello! Well I got the course back in May but had some issues getting deep into the course over the summer cause my kiddo was home, and well, telling 6 year olds you need time without interruption doesn't work very well, but I was lucky enough to have the option to stop working and I did once my son was back in school and since then i've been going around 5 hours a day while he's in school. I'm just finishing up the course now :)
You'll see your itemized eventually on LSAC i'm not sure how long it takes, but I can see mine from Sept 2014. But its just numbered questions I don't know what section (it says section 1,2,3,4,5) or what the exact question was just the number.
I understand procrastinating and last minute being pretty sure you could do a lot better. I would honestly advise, if you can, wait a year. Even if you don't end up going to your first choice school, if your score is higher you will have more possibilities at scholarship money at the schools you do get into instead of paying sticker price for lower ranked schools with low possibility of transfer. Then if you do transfer are you okay with sticker price at that school as well? I guess it depends on your finances and how much debt you can handle.
@ You should chat with someone in admissions and see what they advise.
How much should I mention though? I'm not sure I want to state that they are my only choice for school and then they figure they can give me less scholarship. Should I say I'm also applying to boulder? I could technically go there but it would be bad in winter and an hour from where I am anyways so I rather not.
Okay so I'm facing a dilema that I feel is a gamble either way. Last year I took the LSAT and didn't do as good as I would of liked, I got a 151 and I was looking to move to California since my parents live there. I also applied to the University of Denver since this is where I live. I did get in with 20,000/yr scholarship. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to move because there was a custody case going on with my son. Yet the decision wasn't made until November. I wanted to wait until court to schedule my LSAT to know if I was taking it in California or Colorado. I messed up and didn't pay enough attention to deadlines and could no long take it in December. Court also didn't go our way so I was unable to move to California. Now I need to go to DU and I just took the LSAT today. DU's priority deadline is March 1st this year. Yet scores come out March 3rd. I'm pretty sure I got somewhere between a 158-161, I kept track of what I think I got right, how many I guessed. Is that jump worth waiting until two days passed the priority deadline to apply?? Or should I use it to try and negotiate more money as long as they do accept me again? Please help!
I'm a bit new, but I sent in mine, hope it helps :)
