@sunnytsao313794 haha i'm looking for something similar to this thread: http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=100061
but just more updated. that one is from so long ago. maybe things have changed!
So #10 on the USC Gould app says to explain the variance in multiple LSAT scores or whether or not you feel your scores shack up to your full potential. I am thinking about discussing how my test day anxiety led me to underperform on test day. And how I went to see a psychiatrist for this anxiety so I could take care of it for test day -- but obviously it wasn't to much avail if I scored a few points below my full potential on the real thing. Note: I don't get testing accommodations and never have. But I've had problems with anxiety since I was a kid.
Basically, my question is, do ya'll think it's taboo to write about my anxiety and the medical help I sought during the time I was studying/taking the LSAT (hopefully it shows my effort to remedy what was causing me to underperform)?

@sunnytsao313794 calls to reject? That's so messed up imo lol
lol i can't even imagine the kind of reactions news-givers would get if that were a thing lol
@sunnytsao313794 @sunnytsao313794 haha i know. i'm asking, based off your experience which school did what? like did GULC call? did yale call and then send a package in the mail? did UVA just update the online status checker?
I'm asking mainly those of you who have already applied through a cycle! How did you receive your acceptance or rejection from each school? I hope most of them don't send snail mail rejection letters lol.

ahhhhh went -0 in games. but LR killed me!
How did you get your breakdown? I’m pretty sure I had the opposite problem. Unfortunately went 5 under my average but I was going to retake regardless so I’ll be ok.
What do you mean how did i get my breakdown? I just checked the chart to see which answers i picked vs which credited ones i got right haha ugh so angry about the Lr.

Congratulations! You’re doing amazing esp that jump.
@alysonf1026631 you are doing amazing! :blush: i don’t think i did that well either. But i just remind myself there’s nothing more i can do about It now. I just have to wait till the 8th!!
@39024 said:
Haha yeah - thanks a lot. I always read those comments like prepare for the worst, but I didn’t think I needed to practice taking the test with one eye closed. Just a suggestion for all you out there who wear contacts, try a section with only your non-dominate eye!
lolololol didn't get to bed until 430 am annnnndddd only gets to use one eye. i wore conacts during the test. but i honestly think if i were in your shoes, i would just be like fuck it and quit. or just keep both eyes open (more comfortable than keeping one closed) and read in a blur. so kudos to you for holding it down during the sections.
@39024 said:
I took the rest of the test until the break with my left eye.
I don't know why but I laughed out loud at this, out of context.
does anyone remember the LR question about ants and conifer trees?
That's insane! I wonder where they all went???? I'd just keep on the lookout for an email from LSAC about it and they'll give you a refund or a chance to take it on the makeup day.
Did I say "stopping cheating/blatant rule violation is “ball busting" " ?????? I'm just drawing a distinction -- not calling @akikookmt881's proctor a ball buster. Incidences like that happen all the time. I'm sure plenty of people bubble in on their answer sheet after the section had already been called. You can have a proctor who sits and stares at their phone the entire time and not notice what you do. Or you could have one that watches everyone like a hawk. It depends on luck and other factors. My proctor let kids go to the bathroom even while the demographics were being filled out also let kids eat/drink during the test. I've also had a proctor who didn't take action when ppl brought their phones.
Anyways, I think you should write an addendum about it. I think this is an incident that probably happens way too often but people either just don't get caught or it isn't reported and I'm sure adcomms are aware of that and will understanding when you provide a compelling argument :blush:
I think you should upgrade to the Ultimate plus and extend it as you see fit in three months.
This is what it costs to currently extend on my Ult+ account.
Add 6 months $74.99 ($12.50/month, save 50%)
Add 3 months $44.99 ($15.00/month, save 40%)
Add 2 months $34.99 ($17.50/month, save 30%)
Add 1 month $24.99 ($24.99/month, save 0%)

I thought LR was hard for this test. LG & RC were both fair.
Yeah I agree, I was just nervous for my first section.
@wrasschaert283 said:
predictions on the curve?
-9? LG was pretty easy gotta assume a lot of 0s
i agree on this. but during break, i overheard a lot of people saying LG was hard. so hopefully -10 haha or -11
Was it after the 5th section or one of the other sections? It's crazy how who you have as a proctor matters so much. I'm sorry but I'm sure it's happened before. Some proctors can really be major ball busters and others are so lackadaisical
@jacquestoupin470-SERIES yes it was the real LG. how did you feel about it? i also had two LG's. my test was LG RC LR break LR LG. i knew the mining was real because they hardly ever put experimental in sections 4-5 (this is just what i've heard) also my first LG was way too easy to not be experimental.
i overheard people in the bathroom talking about how hard the mining game was. i didn't think it was thatttttttttttt bad. but then again, i did skip it and save it for last. luckily i had 13-15 minutes left for it.
@jakajkristina256 @leahbeuk911 haha yeah i just sent the application and finally got the letter! i had to bust my professor's balls for it. but thankfully he's a super cool guy. i'm no longer going to stress my brain out trying to figure out what that bolded text means haha! but thank you guys so much.

@mariecavery809 what's a mapping logic game?
yes! what's a mapping logic game? @mariecavery809
The school requires 2 LORs.
The total number of required documents is 2.
The school will only accept up to 3 LORs.
The total number accepted cannot exceed 3.
Accepts letters of recommendation when the initial law school report is ready to be sent and when LSAC has received at least 2 letters of recommendation.
The law school report will be updated and sent each time LSAC receives a letter of recommendation.
Does this mean that if I'm waiting on one more professor for a letter (I've assigned two letters {which is the number required for this specific app} to this application. Only one of them is received. But waiting on another), and I submit my application now without having my professor having uploaded my letter -- the professor can upload it later and the law school report will update it?
Basically what I am asking lol is if I can go forth and pay the application fee and submit my application, even without one of the letters assigned being received yet?
@jhbm90878 exactly what i was looking for! thank you so much (3(/p)
