Also feeling meh. got a 172, but was PT'ing at 175 leading up to the test. Probably won't retake as I don't think I can stand to look at another law passage for the short foreseeable future.

Admissions · Got my score, just hit submit on all apps, now what?

Congratz on finishing your apps my guy!

You should go get a nice bottle of wine, down it, and then spend the next week just doing all the things you enjoy and likely neglected as a result of the LSAT and your applications. You've earned a well-deserved break! :smiley:

Admissions · Anyone willing to read my personal statement?

General · Do people who score in the low 170s BR close to 180?

Personally, the gap between my BR and my timed score never really closed. It remained at around 3-5 points. As one went up, so did the other. I started at around 160/BR 163 (after the CC), and ended up around 174/BR 178-180. Narrowing the gap to 1 or 2 would have been nice, but with time constraints, there was always a game, passage or a handful of LR questions that just didn't fully 'click' for me during the timed test, but that I later easily understood during BR.

It used to bum me out, but then I figured 'hey, as long as I'm improving, who cares?'

Echoing what @ said, you definitely don't need to BR in the high 170s to break 170. First two times were 170/172 and 170/171.

Post Lsat Reflection

How strange is it to go back to a life free from the confines of law passages and grouping games.

This morning when I got up, I made myself a cup of coffee and immediately went to sit down at my desk with a HB2 pencil in hand before eerily realizing I had no material to prep.

What is the meaning of life now?

How does one go from obsessively drilling parallel flaw questions one day to just binge-watching 4 hours of parks and rec the next?

Are drake and kanye really cool again? Has ye really forgotten about those kim remarks?

At the gym today, a fellow broski used the phrase ‘but not otherwise’ in conversation with me. I immediately went into a trance and spent the next 30 seconds trying to figure out which of the 4 available benches he could go on.

The mixture of concern, confusion and disgust on his face perfectly mirrored my outlook towards the now vacant LSAT-shaped hole in my heart.

Is soy really better than corn?

...Will I ever love?

My thoughts go out to my fellow 7Sagers suffering from post-LSAT blues.

I had LR, RC, LR, LR, LG.

My first two LRs had 26 questions each and my last LR had 25. I'm assuming that one of my first two LRs had an experimental.

In S1 LR, I had a question about Freud? I'm not sure if I'm spelling it right...

In S3 LR, I had a question about the economist talking about small and medium businesses.

Does anyone remember any one of these questions and if so, can identify which one is the EXP section? T.T (3(/p)

The economist one (which also had something about bumblebees) was the real LR

I chose corn being like this is a f'ing no-brainer. Then realized how badly I messed up with about 10 minutes left when I saw that my entire essay was based on having a combine. I don't even know what a combine is

I had an experimental LR as well. Can anymore confirm if the 26 question LR with honeybees vs bumblebees and volcancoes on Venus was real or not?
