The prestige difference between Georgetown and WUSTL is nominal. What matters most at the end of the day is employment. According to Law School Transparency, WUSTL has better placement outcomes (don't know how they determine this, as Georgetown does have close to 10% more graduates in big law. The scholarship is a big deal. Additionally, don't forget about the cost of living! Saint Louis is about as inexpensive a city as you can find. Ultimately, it is unknown how you will do in law school, as it is unclear what the job market will be like. Finally, from my limited interaction with the faculty at WashU thus far, they are very eager to help you succeed. This is conjecture, but I could see how it would be easy to become a number in Georgetown. All in all, WashU is the place to be! (Disclaimer: I am attending WashU next year, so I am a bit biased. However, the other school I would have most been inclined to attend would probably have been Georgetown, so I've already thought through your dilemma quite a bit!)

WUSTL!

I thought I bombed my LSAT and got five points higher than expected. We tend to be very hard on ourselves after the test. However, I'm generally pessimistic about my scores on practice tests. If you are as well, I would think twice about cancelling.

@tzvinaftalowitz138 I'm open to anywhere at this point, but DC area and St. Louis would probably be my two top locations.

I looked on ABA a bit, somewhat helpful.

@tzvinaftalowitz138 Do you know of any free resources?

Thanks for your help!

@kingse414 Yes. I am married with children, and am hoping to see them once I finish law school :smile:

@shizaarshad951 Higher than 75th percentile?

Just to clarify, this is relevant to the character addendum in the applications.

If a section was experimental on Saturday, can the same section be experimental on the undisclosed test?

Did anyone here take the undisclosed test today? Do the above rules apply?

Hi there. If this is any help, I'm with you in your frustrations!

I'm definitely not great at RC. However, one thing that I found helped me, at the very least mentally (although I think I improved slightly as a result of this) is to keep a quick pace in the questions. Invariably, you will be given hard questions. Sometimes, you'll have two 5 star questions in the first passage alone! The key is to not get bogged down. If you narrow it down to 2 ACs, that's a 50% on that question. The reason I advocate this approach is that you don't want to sacrifice the entire final passage rushing through it. Additionally, you may have extra time to come back to some of the questions you took an educated guess on.

@imwylie63 I initially was taking a ridiculous amount of PTs, and it did pay dividends. However, as you've mentioned, it is quite taxing, and it can make you score worse/work less effectively. Something that I've found is that supplementing PTs with sections during the week is very beneficial. I know it is considered sacrilegious to take apart a PT. However, if you are only going to take one PT a week, I don't know if using a second one for sections is going to kill you. This is especially true if you are using older sections (e.g. prior to LSAT 34), but I think it may be true regardless.

Unfortunately, from personal experience, I would venture to guess that your score is highly inflated. This is especially true if you did your blind review properly. That being said, there is still value in retaking PTs.

@leahbeuk911 Hi Leah, I would be interested in swapping.

Thanks for your response. At the end of the day, a slight increase would still constitute an increase. That could have been the increase alluded to in the stimulus, in theory. At the end of the day, this argument is not winning me any points!

It doesn't NEED to mean a net gain, but it is definitely a viable interpretation. Either the population went up slightly, or went down slightly.

#help Doesn't "about the same" lend itself to meaning a net gain?

You're fine. Takes time to get your speed down.
