I got a stellar, a magnifient score of...154...YAYY!

I am actually happy with this score because of a few reasons:

1) I did not do even a single prep test in its entirety during my study. None at all. I did not even do a diagnostic test. All the tests past PT35 are pristine for me.

2) I did not even complete the 7sage curriculum (think I was at like 48%).

3) I did not practice more than 30 games in total. Also, I did not practice more than 8 RC passages in total.

4) I did not touch any prep material in the last month before the test. Also, my study was very passive before that.

5) I completely guessed on 10 RC questions (complete last RC passage as I spent my whole time on that damn Eileen Grey passage).

6) I completely guessed on entire virus game and 4 four questions from previous games.

Now, my real prep will start. Time to raise that 154 by atleast 16 points :P ... let's get it done.

Hello all,

I'm a female international student with a non-US bachelor's degree (GPA: 3.98) currently working full time. I scored a 170. I want to be H/S competitive.

The problem is I had been covering a PT every weekend and had PTed in the 174-176 range in the month before September. I actively felt myself freaking out in the test and running out of time which had NEVER happened before.

My test is non-disclosed since I'm an international. I don't even know how many questions I got wrong let alone what.

Do I retake? If so, how do I approach the period leading up to December? My work commitment is at an all-time high and I don't see myself realistically able to get through more than a PT a week again. I'm so confused, disappointed, and worried at this point.

Would love advice from the wise 7sage community on this one. I was PTing high 160s to low 170s before the September test. Going crazy debating whether or not to sign up for the December test. Thanks in advance!

Especially with September 2016's spectacular passage about Eileen Gray's work, I was wondering what strategies you guys had with dealing with difficult passages and remaining calm. I was feeling confident after the first passage, but my focus was totally shot after that passage and I let one bad passage mess up my groove.

It's going to be three hours since it went grey, but I don't have a score (and an email) yet. Is anyone else in the same boat? Sighhhhh...

I've taken the LSAT 3 times and I've done horribly.

1st LSAT- 147 (fresh out of college)

2nd LSAT- 153 (1 year out of college)

3rd LSAT (this past Sept)- 144. (3 years out of college)

the sad part is I actually studied for the Sept. one and it's the worse score I've gotten. I'm starting to think maybe law school is just not for me....Should I give it one last try?!????

Yep, I'm retaking. Scored 6 points below my average, now I'm debating between retaking in Dec or Feb (applying for this cycle).

I really do think I peaked in August and I saw my PTs drop in September. I felt burned out 3 weeks before the test and even took a break but it wasn't enough.

So in deciding between Dec and Feb, what do you suggest? Dec is only 44 or so days away but Feb might cause another burnout episode.

I saw 2 "0"s in my response. I do not think I left any question blank... Does anyone see the "0" in any of their responses other than me? Is the question removed or it's just I misbubbled...

Hello,

I took the September LSAT and I'm thinking/hoping that I scored well enough to get into my selected schools. However, I am really trying to do well enough to be heavily considered for scholarships. My plan was to keep studying and take the February LSAT, but I recently was told that taking it again then will be too late to be highly considered for scholarships at most schools.

This brings me to my questions as to if I should take the LSAT one more time in December, or in February?

Thank you!!!!!!

If it wasn't for a couple of RC passages and the virus LG game I would've killed it. Definitely retaking in June.

And everybody who has received their scores disappears and leaves the rest of us pacing the floor alone.

Congratulations and Good Luck!

Hurry LSAC,Hurry!

It's GRAY DAY!!!!!!

Thank you 7sage! <3

Does my personal statement need to tell admissions why I want to attend law school? I have written a personal statement on a topic where it might feel contrived to suddenly end with why I want to attend law school. But is that what admission officers expect? I will add that I have been out of school for 3.5 years.

I am writing a diversity statement. Should I just include why I want to attend law school in my diversity statement?

Hi,

My question is regarding the letters of recommendation for LSAC. I decided that I am going to apply next year for law school (not ready for the LSAT), but I want to get my other requirements for the application process out of the way. I was wondering if I get my professors to send my letter of recommendations in this year, if I will be able to use it for next year's application. I just want to make sure that LSAC wont delete the letters from the system when the new application cycle begins.

I tried calling LSAC but they are closed today and I already contacted my professors for the letters of rec.

Hello,

I have a question about a course including unlimited editing.

Does it really mean unlimited unlimited editing?

So we can ask him to edit as many times as we want?

Does he check the content only or will he correct grammar also?

Thanks

Can someone read my LSAT addendum? I'm going to keep it really brief but I just feel like my score differences are shocking enough to puzzle admissions.

Well deserved @"J.Y. Ping", you've made a difference in my life and, I'm sure, many others'.

I took the September LSAT and will be getting my score back hopefully today or tomorrow. I don't think I got what I wanted though so I am signed up for the December test. How do I go about applying? I don't want to apply and then get rejected for my September LSAT before they see my December one. Should I apply and contact them to put my application on hold until my December LSAT comes back?

I'm registered for an LSAC forum in November, but it turns out that's also a really good day to go visit the campus of my number one school. Does it make more sense to attend the forum, or get the one-on-one time on campus?

Plenty of schools have an optional essay where you write why you want to attend that particular law school, but can you also just write an optional addendum essay explaining why you want to go to a certain school even if it's not mentioned.

I wrote down that UCLA mentioned applicants could write an optional essay on why they wanted to attend, but now that I'm looking at the application, I see that I've made that up. Still, I did some good research and have some compelling, specific reasons for wanting to go there - is it wise to just write up a short essay (2 paragraphs or so, or around 250 words) about why UCLA appeals to me and just submit it as a general addendum? Or are addendum's only supposed to be explanations for bad grades/bad LSAT scores?

Note:

Hey everyone,

TL;DR: Should I, as someone from the UK, write a diversity statement?

So the long version of my question is what exactly counts as 'diverse' in the sense of law school admissions? I've seen the usual indicators - socio-economic disadvantage, race, etc. I don't tick any of those boxes, but I imagine that since was born in the UK and have lived and studied (BA and MA) here my whole life I could contribute something (relatively) unique to any given US law school. Add to this my relatively unique education, with respect to the UK system, I think there's not many of me knocking about each admissions cycle! (haha)

Should this be something I elaborate on in a diversity statement? Or am I over-thinking things? I'm a middle-class white dude (putting it crudely), so should I just leave it? Hoping you guys can help!

All the best.
