I have:

G most F

------------------

C some G

I am trying to conclude C some G, but I am a bit confused.

To me this: G most F ---> C concludes G most C, and not G some C.

Can G most C and G some C be used interchangeably in this instance?

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

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.

I procrastinated on my PS (because I am an idiot). Need to have it ready to go in the next day or two and I have only had one person give me feed back :( could anyone give it a read? Grammar sticklers are especially welcome!

Hi guys, I have a question about and/or in this Q. Example the first sentence is A gift is not generous, unless benefits recipient & is worth more than expected

So when I apply the unless translation do I change the AND to an OR no matter what side i translate it to or do I keep the AND then switch when taking the contrapositive? Im confused...reading too many prep materials lol...

For example would this be correct?

~ benefit the recipient AND is ~ worth more than expected -> ~ generous

CP: Generous -> Benefit recipient or Worth more than expected

Hello, sorry for posting multiple posts.

I tend to have lower back pain due to the Lateral curvature.

Can we move our body and neck while taking the test? I'm afraid it will be seen as cheating...

What do you do when you get tired during the test?

Thanks

Hey 7Sagers!

I just had a quick question for all the fellow non traditional applicants. I graduated from undergrad over 6 years ago (by the time I apply it will be 7 years) from a state school with a low GPA. Although I don't have any earth shattering or life changing reasons for my performance, I've applied myself in my professional career and have done fairly well. I plan to include a diversity statement along with my personal statement but I'm still debating whether or not to include a GPA addendum. My plan was to take the December 2016 LSAT but at the risk of rushing and needing to do really well to combat my poor GPA, I decided to apply next cycle and take the June 2017 test. I'm currently averaging 25 hours of studying a week, on top of my full time job with the hopes of scoring in the high 160s - low 170s, I've done my research and have heard so many mixed reviews on GPA addendums in general so any help would be much appreciated!

Hey all. I took the Testmasters course in July for the September LSAT. (BTW, it raised my diag score over 20 points so I thought it was a great course). Yet, I knew that I wouldn't be ready to get the score that I was shooting for--high 160s to low 170s. I'm currently sitting in the mid to high 160s but I need more material since I've gone through a large portion of the Testmasters material. I know the concepts behind LR and I can usually figure why I got a question wrong on my own; I just want more questions to practice. Does anyone have any prep suggestions? I considered PowerScore but there stuff is mainly concepts and lessons and not so much just real LSAT questions. I'm taking around 2 or 3 prep tests a week and doing review and extra practice on days when I don't take tests. Anyone have any suggestions for prep material with just questions and answers for LR and Logic Games?

I know the LSAT score is good for 5 years so if i take the LSAT on February and wait to apply for the year after, is that kosher? or is it a bad move?

In the University of Chicago application there is a section where it asks you to input the following and gives the following fields:

List the academic honors and awards, or other recognitions you have received.

Name of Award/Honor - - - - Date/Term Received - - - - - Description - - - - - - School

____________________ - - - - _________________ - - - - - _________ - - - - - - __________

I have some awards that are from athletics. Do I include them here? I feel like it depends on how you read the instruction sentence.

If so, some are from organizations not schools. Do I put the organization in that field or the school I was attending?

All of my awards are currently listed on my résumé. Do I list them here also? Do I remove the awards from my résumé?

Should I just email the admissions office at UChicago and ask?

Even simple things get complicated when it comes to law school.

So as my title says, I've been having serious doubts about Law School. I'm a senior at a state university have a very poor GPA at 2.8, but I was diagnosed with an inner ear condition that caused me to go partially deaf in my right ear and gave me intense and constant vertigo my sophomore year and I suffered immensely because of that. Now that the condition is under control for the most part, I started studying in the middle of the summer and my diagnostic was a 155, and I have been PTing in the low to mid 160's. I'm thinking about taking the February LSAT and take a gap year before I apply. But I just kind of broke down this past weekend mentally and physically. Is it realistic to go to Law School with my GPA, even if I manage to do well my senior year? Has anyone experienced anything similar or has any sort of advice? Maybe I'm just really burnt out or maybe I just needed to vent haha. Thanks!

I've been using the app "Elevate" for the past week, and I just wanted to share. It's already helped me with reading skills, and there's lots of cool exercises to do to train and improve cognitive skills. It's a free app (although there is a paid pro version), and it's available for apple and android. It's recommend you "train" everyday, which is less than 10 minutes.

LSAT prep can get really tiring, and even though Elevate is a learning/training app, it's actually quite fun!

Has anyone else used Elevate? If not, give it a try and let me know what you think!

Just curious where people on this forum are thinking of applying to for this fall! I'm hoping to apply to Vanderbilt, Baylor, Georgetown, and Alabama if I make the score I'm shooting for! Wanted to see where everyone else is hoping to attend!

Hello, I'm wondering...

Is C2 in SuperprepII look like 50s-early 60s or late 60s to 70s?

People say there are differences between the range and I'm wondering where C2 is in...

Thank you

The Full Schedule

And if you’d like to see the full schedule for upcoming reviews, here it is: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=h14k4idvt1lb4hp5ujds97qt7k%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York

Note:

My first two years were not great (2.7 GPA), I spent too much time at my fraternity, showing up to class hungover/still drunk, and just did not take school as seriously as I should have. My GPA as since been rising (3.77 average). Will this come into play?

I have read in quite a number of forums that the 70's PTs are tougher than the 60's PTs, or at least that peoples scores go down when they break into the 70's. I haven't taken any of the 70's yet, but I have taken some 60's (61,62,63,69) and a number from 30-59 (like 15). So can anyone, without spoiling anything in the PTs I haven't seen, explain a bit about why people are having more trouble with the 70's and how I can avoid it?

Did anybody else think that 77 was light-years easier than 76? Some people that I have talked to have said that 76 was easier but I do not see that at all. The games on 77 were much easier. Also, on 77 you had easier concepts like casual reasoning that were stressed

Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody know IF anything should go on the top of the person statement? This would include something like my name and LSAC account number.

I am submitting an additional information document, and my advisor told me to put my L number and a title at the top of that, so i was wondering if the same is true for the personal statement?

If so, does this count towards the space limit?

thanks

Hey ’Sagers.

Here's my situation: I’m 12 PTs in, and I’m scoring generally between high 160s and low 170s (BR usually 178-179). I was hoping to take the exam in December, and my target score is 175+. I am not there, most of all because of LG.

I’m all over the place with LG, and generally way, way under where I want to be, which is starting to unnerve me because I was planning to sit for the exam in six weeks. I’m missing -0 to -8 (last PTs: -4, -2, -0, -8, -7, -7), generally riding these sections out as a pencil-gripping emotional mess, usually not getting to every question and missing others. I’m headed back to review in/out games, lessons I guess I rushed through initially, which is probably why these games in particular are a challenge. I foolproof every game and then go back and do the entire LG section at once to get a feel for proper timing. (Also I should say that I did the foolproof method for every game so far, including those in the core curriculum.) I 'get' the games eventually, it’s the first time around (the, um, one that matters) that I seem to fall apart.

I feel any remaining gains in RC and LR will happen largely through PTing, but also that I should hold off on burning through LG sections until I am more confident on games. So my plan as of right now is to continue to take PTs, skipping the LG sections for now, subbing in a section or two from an older test so I can still get a feel for the full length of the exam. That way I can still work on RC and LR and overall strategy. Then, when I feel more confident on LG, I'll catch up on those sections, adding them as a fifth section to my PTs.

I’m also thinking about going through the LSAT Trainer for just games and wondering if it’s too late to start that. Or maybe getting a tutor in NYC. I’m six weeks out from my desired test date. If I postpone until Feb that means waiting another year to apply, or applying very late, both of which I REALLY do not want to do.

I also realize that at this point that if completing 2 PTs/week on average means I will do only about 24 total PTs before 12/3. I want to get the best possible score (like, obvi), so I’m wondering if I should just plan on moving things to February, maybe applying extremely late or just the next cycle. (Again, I do not want to do this.)

So the questions:

1) How does that 6-week strategy sound? ~2 PTs a week, plus LG ‘bootcamp,’ maybe with The Trainer, waiting to do LG sections until I’m more confident [2 weeks, hopefully, which would give me a month to practice on the actual PTs.])

2) Does anyone recommend adding the LSAT Trainer for LG? Could I get through the games chapters in 2 weeks? Or am I just going to add an unnecessary cook into the kitchen?

3) Would the difference between taking roughly 25 PTs vs 40 PTs warrant postponing applying until February or the next cycle?

4) Has anyone worked with a tutor for LG in NYC and had a positive experience? Again, I’m game-proficient, just not within the time constraints of the exam. Ideally I'd want someone to look at what I've done in past exams, maybe watch me do a section, give me feedback.

Thanks!

The Full (and now REVISED) Schedule

And if you’d like to see the full schedule for upcoming reviews, here it is: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=h14k4idvt1lb4hp5ujds97qt7k@group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York

Note:

I'm new to 7sage, but not to LSAT and the admissions process. I'm getting ready to apply for the fall 2017 cycle and I recently learned of something that could possibly ruin my apps... my criminal history. I was unaware, until now, that you MUST disclose your criminal background when applying.

My GPA is above the median for my target school and so is my LSAT score. I have good work experience, interned with a government consulting firm. I'm 27 years old (about to turn 28), and am just about to finish my BS in economics. And... I have 5 underage drinking charges and two marijuana possession charges. Oh, and god knows how many speeding tickets. No felonies or serious crimes. Just the mark of someone who loved to party when they were a teenager. So I heard some good things about 7sage and figured I would ask the community to see if I could get some guidance on my situation.

I really want an honest, unadulterated answer. Am i fucked? All of these charges happened between ages 15-21. So, they were a long time ago. I'm just worried that this might show a pattern of behavior that calls into question my "character and fitness." Granted it has been almost 8 years since I last had a run in with the law, I'm just worried the volume of charges might be too much for them to look past.

I feel terrible right now, and am kind of freaking out. I put in so much time and effort with school and the LSAT. Being rejected for my criminal background would just crush my whole world.

Will they start over the process even if we just want to ask additional accommodation?

Will they elliminate the accommodations they have granted?
