Hi everyone! I’m trying to decide whether I should write a GPA addendum and how to write it!

Basically I took two year long college level courses in my senior year of High school through a local community college in an attempt challenge myself academically, but received a few C’s. However, around November two months after the courses my abusive brother attempted to kill me. While the event itself was obviously traumatic (I’m okay!) it was really what happened following that affected me and my GPA. I was still expected and did to live in the same house as him. (It was our family home along with my mother.) I also had to decide whether to press charges against him not only affecting me, but my mother as well. All of this caused me extreme stress and the inability to focus in school subsequently leading to the poor grades. Although during this time I was still able to graduate and be accepted to college which allowed me to move away and out of the situation. Afterwards I was able to dedicate my time to academics and received mostly A’s and B’s with roughly a 3.6 for my undergraduate GPA. I’m hoping this shows that it was just the extenuating circumstances that caused the C’s but I’m worried about the affect they will have on my LSAC GPA.

I wam wondering if I should write an addendum explaining what happened and the affect it had on my GPA/performance. Clearly the two C’s don’t represent my academic ability, but don’t know whether to write one or not. I also don’t know how to go about writing an addendum, I understand they should be concise and factual but don’t want to come across as if I’m asking for pity. I feel as though “My brother attempted to kill me and I genuinely could not focus in class” is a bit harsh/blunt and don’t want to make adcoms uncomfortable.

Thanks for any help!

Hi folks,

I was wondering if one should expect to eventually be able to score 179-180 consistently in BR and if the fact that I'm not able to do so mean I still have theory to learn.

Also, does the 1 LR section count twice? Or is there a separate scale

Hi!

Is the Oct 12 test in the MENA region digital or na?

Moreover, what do you think of sitting for it to apply in the fall/ applications in by Nov 15 latest?

Thanks!

I am taking the Jan LSAT and scoring well on LG and LR but RC keeps dragging me down. What is the best way to boost my RC score with just over two weeks until test day?

If there’s a deadline for ED, does it matter whether you apply the day before or a month before that deadline? Thanks!

I've found that the games I struggle with most consistently involve conditional logic. I don't have any trouble understanding the logical relations themselves, but the complexity of the rules gets me very confused. For example, when a rule says something like, if A is before B, then C is before D. An example of a game that gives me trouble is PT78.S2.G3: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-78-section-2-game-3/

Does anyone have any advice on how to approach these games?

Once I put in info for a recommender, can I change the info, like change the email? (If it's before I sent out the email)

Feeling a headache today, which is reminding me to send positive vibes and wish calming, clear thoughts to everyone. Let's remember to lighten the study load this week, breathe, slow down and stay confident. We are superstars, and we're going to knock it out of the park!

Looking for a study buddy anywhere in Calgary or in the world .

Fellows who have been accepted to Cardozo law plz DM me. Thanks!

Before entering the PT's in the 80's, I used to blaze through the LR questions and would get -4/-5. Obviously, not perfect but a solid result.

But once I entered the 80's, my LR started dipping and I end up getting -7 to -9. I took a step back and tried to see what's going on.

I'm starting to find that a lot of the flaws and assumptions in LR in the 80's are still the same, but they are disguised with more convoluted language, both in the stimulus and in the answers. This has forced me to have to slow down now and really untangle the language in both the stimulus and answers now.

Is this something people have noticed or am I just going crazy? Lol.

I used to love blazing through the sections, but am wondering if I need to slow down now to attain accuracy on the more recent PT's.

Has anyone taken the LSAT in the Las Vegas Fiesta Henderson Hotel before? If so, how was it?

Hey all,

Help me decide when to write, please.

Pros of September:

Cons:

Pros of October:

Cons:

I am currently scoring 150-152 when timed. I would like to score high 160s. That’s realistic, right? I have been studying since the beginning of June.

If anyone has any suggestions at all on the path I should take please let me know. I’m mostly applying to Canadian universities (maybe 1 or 2 American ones). I am also a horrible test taker. Sorry my mind is all over the place right now, I don’t know what I should do!

Putting the finishing touches on some application components before sending them all in Feb 1 and would love some eyes on my work from people who don't know me. Would also be down to do personal statement edits as a swap for my Yale 250/resume, if that's what you want looked at!

P.S. My Yale 250 is about being part of the LGBTQ+ community so only looking to swap with people who y'know.... aren't homophobic LOL

Hi guys,

I'm looking for study partner(s), preferably someone who is

I'm thinking maybe we could meet up once a week (starting Aug 31 or the first week of September), take a timed PT together using the 7sage proctor (using PTs in the 80s + PT C and C II), BR individually at home, and go over the PT together online or through Kakaotalk the day after.

Message me if interested. Thanks(:

I dont know how to get faster. I've been doing RC practice for so long and I cant get faster. I easily do LG and LR on time but not RC, any tips on how to get faster that you did that worked for you? Skipping words made me do worse.

I would love to exchange both and see how they work in tandem. Let me know if you'd like some eyes on yours!

Hi all, would anyone be interested in a personal statement swap?

If so, pm me!

Hi there,

Is there a lesson as part of the CC where the process for approaching LR Evalutate questions is covered? If not is there a particular problem/ set of problems JY works through where he explains his strategy in detail?

Thanks yall

I'm getting better at diagramming LR questions (when need be), but I'm very slow at it. Any tips for getting faster?

I'm aiming for the September 2019 LSAT. And, I would like to find a study partner/group in the Denver area. Any interest?

Hi!

Is the Oct 12 MENA test digital or na?

Anyone in the area interested in forming a study group and meeting up once a week or so?
