Hello, I know today is New Years Eve but the NYU scholarship applications are due tomorrow and I am looking for a tough critic to review my essays tonight. I would really appreciate it and would happily return the favor in the future!

So in my statement, I write about contacting a high profile player agent when I was younger to ask for advice on the path I should take. He is not a nobody, he is one of the top agents in the NHL and actually graduated from one of the law school's I am applying. Is it ok to use his name or should I describe him as I did in this such question?

Thanks

I'm having a tough time trying to find an effective way to organize what seems like an infinite amount of paper.

How do you guys organize it?

Do you keep your fool proofing sections one place and LR in another?

Should I invest in a filing cabinet at this point lol?

Located in California, bay area. time zone is PST, I can usually meet after 4 PM PST. I'm averaging 161 and will take the exam in Feb. Cranking for the last six weeks.

So I scored a 169 LSAT, but due to a really low GPA from a long time ago(2.8). My more recent academic GPA was a 3.3. Would I be in the running for heavy scholarships at schools with average LSAT of 157?

I am doing the flash cards for the group 3 logical indicators and keep coming up with the contrapositive first. Example: There is no punishment without law. The group 3 operator is without I picked “law” made it the sufficient and negated it. The other idea was punishment. So for me it looked like this: /L -> /P. and then my contrapositive is P -> L. I kept doing this on many of them. The flash card showed with P -> L first. I realize that they are just contrapositives of each other but I just started to worry that there may be something wrong with the way I was reading it that would cause me problems in real LR questions.

Hey I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem. Its a main conclusion question. It seems as if the second sentence is something like a minor conclusion, that is, its used in service of the larger conclusion (the first sentence). If this were a main conclusion question for reading comp, I think I would have chosen the correct answer C. Instead I chose A. Any ideas?

I was just checking out some “LSAT watches” as they have a bezel with marks going from 0-35. I know some watches such as those with chronographs have been banned, however this appears to be a traditional watch only with LSAT section length bezel. I thought this could prove helpful, because honestly I can hardly tell time let alone breath when taking certain sections.

Hi all -

Need to get some thoughts on whether I should apply this cycle. Scored a 162, although I was PTing higher. I had to rush the study to make it this cycle since I had extended my Fulbright year to finish up some research. I have a 3.82 GPA and would prefer schools in the T-14 although I know my score is low for that. I'm thinking I might still have a chance because of some of my softs & I am working a consulting firm at the moment.

Should I retake & sit out this cycle or at least try applying? Might just pick a select group of schools. Was even thinking going ED for UPenn.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Did anyone else get an invite to interview with WashU today???

I did not apply to WashU so I am very confused.

Hello,

I am trying to upgrade to the 7Sage Starter course. However, when I submit my MasterCard information it keeps saying, "This card does not accept this type of purchase." I do not understand why it is doing this. It will not accept another card I tried either, which is also a MasterCard. I have tried resubmitting my information five times...Can someone help?

Thank you,

Amanda

Took a class this past semester and I really clicked with the prof. I'm hesitant to email her until next semester begins because I know some professors keep (and deserve to keep) strict, operating-hours only timelines for checking their emails. I don't want to clutter her email and then her lose it in the depth of her inbox.

I'm also hesitant to ask at the very beginning of the semester because it can be so hectic. So is there any particular time that worked best for y'all?

Diagramming the more complex questions can take quite a bit of time. Sometimes the correct answers are more intuitive and thus it would be a waste of time to diagram. But reading the question stem and all the answer choices also takes time and when the correct answer choice is not intuitive, you have to go back and read the stimulus again to begin diagramming.

So my question is, how do you guys know when to diagram and when to not? Do you diagram from the first reading of any conditional/existential statement markers? Or do you do so as a last resort? Or do I just lack the intuition to know when diagramming is appropriate vs when it is not?

I've got a 3.94 out of WashU, and a 171 LSAT, currently finishing my senior year and applying in the next week. These normally seem like pretty safe numbers for Penn but I have a few main concerns.

I had a 166 LSAT before, and some schools like to average. I had just flown home from europe two days prior so I feel like I can write it off as being jet lagged, but still feel like this is going to hold me back in some way

I have a minor weed related citation I received a few years back, but charges were dismissed. Again nothing serious, but it's making me consider playing things safe.

I'm applying rather late in the cycle.

I'm a senior still, with little real work experience (just internships). Plus I'm a Finance major, heard law schools aren't such a huge fan of business majors.

I would prefer Chicago, but just marginally. Given these numbers, should I play it safe and apply ED round 2 to Penn? Or roll the dice and see if I can get into Chicago or Columbia? I've been looking at all the numbers on lawschooladmissions and such, but really hard to get a feel for my particular circumstances.

Thanks guys!

Hey guys,

Trying to get a sense of how long it usually takes someone to achieve consistent -1/-0 on logic games. How many games from early tests did you do, how many attempts for each game, how many PT's before you started seeing perfect LG scores etc.

I plan on taking the test in june. I currently have the starter and i have hard copies of all lsat prep tests 38-81. Is the upgrade to ultimate worth it? Im in a cash crunch right now but having only hard copies of lsats is kind of annoying.

Hi! Hope everyone is enjoying the rest of 2017!

So I got my December score back (155). I was aiming for a 160, but since I was PTing around 155-157, I'm not shocked at my score. I've decided to postpone a cycle and retest in June! While my PT scores were kinda low, I was BRing in the mid to upper 160s, which makes me think that come June, I'll be able to hit my new goal of 165. I might adjust this if I see substantial progress over the next few months.

Some background: I started self-studying in June for the September LSAT and bombed it. Looking back, I wasn't dedicating enough time. I was only studying part-time since I had (and still have) a full-time job. Thankfully I found 7Sage shortly after. I got the Starter pack in September and finished the CC. I have the Powerscore bibles for LR and LG and have gone through most of them. I also have the Trainer, but I didn't get a chance to go through it before December. I've done PTs 58-72 (I didn't account for having to extend my prep) and a couple of the older tests.

My question is how should I move forward with my prep? I'm willing to spend some of that Christmas $$$ on Ultimate+ because I definitely need that LG Bundle. When I buy Ultimate+, should I go through the entire CC again? Or just focus on my weak spots? I plan on supplementing with the Trainer this time. Also, would dedicating January to fool-proofing the LG Bundle be a good idea? I've never focused an entire month on one section before. Overall, I want to spend my time wisely since my account would expire at the end of April.

Thanks in advance! I swear this community has kept me relativity sane through all this stress!

Completely unrelated: I received a fee waiver from WUSTL earlier this week via email...which is super weird because 155 is wayyy below their 25% and my GPA is a few tenths short of their median GPA. lol I have good softs but not that good. Are they looking to up their application numbers or something?

I only have one publication, but definitely want to include it because it was the featured cover article (and am kind of lacking in other resume areas). Should I include this under my Education section? Or make a separate section? Thanks for any thoughts!

I've decided to retake the LSAT in February. I scored a 162 on my December exam, but there were some circumstances that I believe affected my score, which is why I know that I can score higher. Should I send in my applications prior to the exam (in January) with an addendum letting them know that I will be retaking in February or wait until after I have taken the exam.

Any advice? Thanks!!

Imagine a Sequencing/Matching hybrid game in which you need to sequence five entities - A, B, C, D, and E --- then match each of those to one of three attributes --- x, y, z.

A cannot be matched with x.

Exactly two people are matched with x, and they are consecutive.

C is matched with z.

There are exactly two spaces between C and A.

I wrote out two sketches one as a chart to show which matched and the other as a sequencing game to show the list of entities from 1 to 5. Is there a better way I can sketch this?

2 sections/day + review I think is ideal

Hi guys! I need to ask one or two professors for letters of rec. Yea, I know... been lagging on this front.

I've been out of school since 2010 so I'm not quite sure how to draft a concise email with all of the relevant info they may need to consider writing. I know I should give them a refresher on the courses I took, how it encouraged the law school route and a quick update on my professional life and why I'm still considering law school. Is there anything else to add? Is that even the right route to take?

Anyone care to share an email they sent out with a request?

Thanks in advance!

-M
