I am taking the January LSAT and plan on having all of my applications submitted before the end of Jan as soon as my exam is over. I am applying to all the CA schools, but am curious...are my chances of getting accepted exponentially lower than fall applicants since I'm applying later in the cycle? If anyone has experience or insight on this please share! Thanks!
Thank you, @ ! How does one access the medical form from LSAC? I'm assuming it's on the website but if not, do I have to ask for it from them?
I'm in the same boat. Just took Nov LSAT and will be registering for Jan. I plan on studying 10000x harder for the next one.
I, too, am confused about the word "sometimes" in the correct answer. Shouldn't it be "always"? This is why I chose a different answer. #help lol
Thank you both, this was very helpful!!
I, too, am taking the test in 2 days and the crunch time studying is so real. I used to be scoring in that area for LG as well but what helped me get (-10pts wrong consistently on my PTs was game board setup. That's literally all you need to know- there are 4 different types of games and each one has its own way of setting up the game board. There's a lesson in the curriculum that addresses how to identify the question type with its corresponding game board and that helped me a lot. Once you set it up right, all you have to do is make inferences as you read through each rule. The rest of the questions should flow quickly and easily. But if they don't, then no shame in skipping over them for later. The question types that even JY recommends skipping over for the sake of time are the ones where they ask about a certain rule being replaced by a different rule and what the equivalent effect of that one would be. Basically anything that requires testing by brute force. Those are a few tips that have helped me improve my score, I hope this helps you as well. Godspeed, soldier.(/p)
I took the November 2023 LSAT and reallyyy did not like my score- it was way lower than projected and as I studied, I wasn't really scoring much higher. Recently, however, I've been doing a lot better on my PTs (I've been consistently scoring about 10 points higher on my PTs). Because of my recent breakthrough, I didn't consider canceling my November score until now.
I literally just learned of the 6 day grace period to cancel an LSAT score. This deadline has passed about a month ago for me so I feel screwed. I feel SO STUPID for not looking into this way earlier, but I genuinely didn't think that canceling my score was even acceptable in the first place until I did more research and talked to people about it.
Would anyone have any advice or insight on this issue if they've been through something similar? I'm assuming that I'm going to score at least 5-10 points higher on the Jan LSAT, so is my only choice now to write an addendum for the gap in my scores? I will have to write an addendum for my low UGPA as well, so is it going to look bad to have multiple addendums in my applications?
Help!!! Lol thank you in advance (3(/p)
@ I thought about doing that! If you don't mind sharing, what did you include in your appeal that helped your case?
@ how well would I have to do on the LSAT to receive those waivers? I already paid for CAS and am taking the Jan LSAT on Thursday.
I plan to retake the LSAT in January and am wondering how hard it is to have accomodations approved and if law schools will see if I had them?
For those of you who've experienced this already, what materials did you need to provide to the LSAC? I had accomodations in college, would that make it more likely for me to have them approved for the LSAT?
are we allowed to have scratch paper for every section? and is it only 3 sections that they have us do now or the traditional 4 with 1 being unscored
I am scheduled to take my first LSAT this weekend. I can't seem to break a 150, however, and am thinking that I definitley will need to retake it in January. I want to get my applications in before the end of the year, which is why I am conflicted about taking the LSAT in two months. Because my UGPA is way lower than I'd like it to be, I want to show law schools a higher score, though, and feel like that should take priority.
I have been studying for months now and I feel like I have hit a plateau, which is pretty discouraging. If anyone has advice or has been in a similar situation, I'm all ears. Thank you!
I applied for a fee waiver through the LSAC for my applications but was instantly denied since I disclosed my parents' income information on the form. I have to pay for my applications myself and plan to send them out by the end of the month (I am taking the Jan LSAT) but don't know how I will be able to pay for them myself since I won't have help from my parents. Has anyone had any experience with emailing admissions offices asking them directly for fee waivers? Does it look bad to ask? Is it too late to ask? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Make it sound like something you ~just~ decided to do and that you'd love to stay in touch. This experience was so inspiring that you wanted to apply to law school, etc.
