I worked with Aaron Thier and he’s amazing! Very insightful comments and incredible work ethic. I’d highly recommend his service.

Definitely title GPA addendum and C&F addendum. When you see the pdf preview, you will realize that this way is much easier for the reader to follow.

You can call the admission to ask. The school I spoke to said the first thing they do to a reapplicant is to pull out the old application and compare it with the new. And they expect to see a updated personal statement.

They want to see you put some effort to it as opposed to just hit the submit button again.

@michaelcinco801

Thank you for your explanation. I’m still confused by this question though.

I chose C because I thought negating the necessary condition would destroy the conclusion, but I do realize that the sufficient condition doesn’t match the stimulus.

Also I can’t see why E is right because I thought the stimulus assume if the cause is not natural then the cause is human activity, while E seems to just talk about how the author assumes that natural cause has a seven-day cycle, and seems like it doesn’t address the gap between premise 2 and the conclusion. Is it actually addressing the gap between premise 1 and premise 2 (intermediate conclusion)?

Thank you!!!

Is “confuse A with B” the same as “confuse B with A”? #help

Can't wait to take a look at that infamous LG section!

I think the general consensus is that a better LSAT score gives you more advantage than applying early.

I’d wait until I know what my score is.

Would like to know this too!

Was anyone there today? Do you think it was worth it? I live kinda far away (1.5 hour train ride) and I’m debating whether I should go tomorrow or just stay in and study.

Hi I was stuck in 159 for a while too and I found the easiest way to break in the 160s is to nail the LG. Foolproof all games from 1-35, and aim to get 0/-1 on PTs , then ultimately on test day. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice. If I may ask, have you taken the LSAT and what was your score? Also, if you had any difficulties with RC or LR, what methods/study routines did you find most helpful? I currently have less than a month to increase my score and hoping to find the most efficient way to do so.

Yes I took the real thing many times. Last cycle I got two identical scores in the high 150s, it was painful to see no improvement. For July I made a big jump to 164. I was happy with my score but also decided to retake in October for scholarship reasons. What I did differently before July was to foolproof+BR LG meticulously, also BR thoroughly for LR and RC. I did less PTs but spent more time BRing and I also tried to talk about the stimulus and why each wrong answer choices are wrong (no study partner so I talked to myself). I also made sure to use PTs from 70-80s because the LR and RC are much harder for me than those from the old tests. I was also able to fall asleep the night before the test for the first time and that definitely helped too (the key for me to overcome the anxiety is to realize that this test and what school I get into is NOT the most important things in my life).

You have only one month left so I'd prioritize LG since it's the easiest to improve. For LR my best advice is to BR. Check out Manhattan prep's LR explanations (free) and supplementing it with JY's. RC is my worst section too and I have no idea how I scored in that section in July but I found LSAT trainer and Manhattan prep's RC advice to be very helpful. Also keeping up with time markers (ex. finish two passages by 16 mins or so) helped me finish the section, too.

Hope this helps!

Does anyone know if Fordham gives full rides at all?

No they cap the merit aid at 45k a year.

Keep the 165 and apply or keep and retake just don’t cancel that score.

I’m wondering the same thing

I’m not sure but I’m currently on October waitlist now.

Apparently there is a nationwide shortage of October test centers now. The conspiracy theory on redddit is that LSAC is trying to prevent folks from using their free retake coupons as much as possible since there are way more July test takers than they originally estimated.

Yes. Sometimes the two overlap. You can think about it this way: if you want to buy a lollipop that costs $50, having $49 in your wallet is necessary, but not sufficient. Having $50 will be necessary AND sufficient. Having $51 will be sufficient, but no longer necessary. Something like that.

@dring80418 that’s a good point! I remember seeing the complaints about how “unprecedentedly” hard the test was for January and March LSAT haha

@phoebefebeli315

Thank you for your encouragement! I needed this! I’m just having a cold feet seeing so many people complaining how hard the July test was. But I’m over that now. I feel very relaxed now after thinking through this decision and I think I’m ready :)

@dring80418

Thank you for your advice! I’m just worried about potentially having the fourth cancel. But I guess three cancels vs four cancels are not that different? I hope I will show improvement from last time and won’t have to cancel! I will be prepping for October while waiting for the score, too. We got this!
