@wwijaya1190566 I'm not from Kansas and have no intention to stay. I found them because I was hyper focused on finding a 2 year program. They also offer in-state tuition to several surrounding states, including Colorado, so they jumped to the top of my list.

I'll be headed to Washburn University in Topeka! One of the few schools to offer an accelerated 2 year program, a guaranteed full ride and change, and a history of placing students in the field I want to enter. I can't really complain :blush:

Banging a JD out in two years and avoiding debt at all cost were my biggest fears for the two year application cycle. I'm so glad to have subdued all those fears.

$150k for a law degree vs $10k for the exact same law degree. The difference is the school you went to, and that's about it. When you are a lawyer your clients will not be asking where you went, they will be seeking your expertise in the law. Just imagine your life further down the line when you can be debt free and stacking cash vs trying to get out of a debt hole that gets bigger and bigger the longer it goes unpaid.

Seriously consider creating a sustainable and easy way to have passive income. Given enough success and time over three years, this could lead toward you having enough passive income to cover your rent and beyond while in law school with minimal work. That is my goal at least.

Even if you delay a year, there is always two year law school. Which means you would be exactly where you would be if you matriculated this cycle. Deep breaths, all is well.

@cgryniewski818oshun1 Thanks! As long as it's possible it's worth a shot!

I think it depends on where you apply, how competitive the schools are, and what your stats are. I heard from one school within 24 hours and received a scholarship. I've heard back from two others within a week - one with a full ride and change. A lot of the others schools I applied to told me to expect a decision within 4-5 business weeks.

Waiting sucks, especially since this is such a life changing decisions. Even with a tempting full ride I still want to wait to hear back from every school in order to make the best decision. Patience is key. I'm sure we'll all have a decision 4-5 weeks after their application deadline.

@jkendrickfishing203 LSAC is the Devil

@ebs1995601 @marine4life6798246 Right?! The cost is ridiculous. But to pile on a junk website from the Aol.com era for that cost is just wrong. CAS really isn't even necessary the way they have it set up.

I'm curious about how these hybrids work as well. I'm considering both of these schools.

@samuelttyler890 @samuelttyler890 @kingse414 It was indeed a 69 joke. But who's to say that just because it's a joke doesn't mean it's true? To achieve a 169 is to know the LSAT on the most intimate of levels. I hope nobody would retake after achieving that score.

@samuelttyler890 Congrats! 169 is by far the best score of the LSAT. People strive for a 170+, but 169 is the sweet spot.

It could have been burn out, it could have been an off day, it could have been a hard PT, or any combination of those. I'd take it away was a positive. Take a couple of days off. Come back and really BR what you missed and why. Drill those question types you missed, and review them in the CC. Then try again! Score drops happen every now and then, but they can serve as a beacon of where to shift your focus. It is what you make of it.

@scottygconquest482 You're right thank you!

I tried a new RC strategy today, and skipped the comparative passage. I figured that if there wasn't a lot of time when I got back to it, I could read at least one of the two sections real quick and have a chance at the questions.

I'm glad I did. That physics passage about the Big Bang was hard. Ironically, I was listening to a Joe Rogan podcast on the way to the test center with a mathematician who was trying to explain the Big Bang. I honestly think both those things saved me for that passage, and all of RC. I know that I would have drowned instead of treading water.

Well shit, it's been a journey y'all. This was my 5th and final LSAT. I had LR LG LR RC LR, and liked that rhythm a lot. Despite that mining game curveball, I think this LSAT was way easier than some of the other ones I've taken. I couldn't help but smile when the first LR section question was about bonobos, @rchandra6098 was right! Perhaps that put me at ease. Congrats to all those who ascended to sage mode today. I know I didn't lol, but I can tell you that's an accomplishment, especially if it's your first take. Good luck everyone, hope y'all get the score of your dreams! Relax and enjoy the holidays.

I really hope the LG gets curved hard

That LG was a doozy. I was counting on that to boost my score but now I'm not so sure :(

Honestly, I think I can do it this time because I reached a PR of 161 on the pts but at the same time, I'm not sure if its the best idea to take the test again if I can't guarantee myself to get that score. I do want to just hit that number and never study for the lsats again, being quite honest.

You can do it! Don't give up! Our scores are almost identical, this will be my fourth time too (148, 157, 158). I can consistently score in the 160s on PTs but for some reason or other on game day it all falls apart. But I know that this will be the test to break into the 160s. I'm so sick of studying for this test too, and this will be the last time. I'm hoping for my wet dream score of 169 but anything above a 159 will make me very happy and get me into the schools I'm looking at. Good luck! Let's break that horizon together. :smiley:
