Hi all,

I picked the right answer but my prediction of the main point was quite different from the language of the credited choice.

My prediction: the origin of the scholars' nonpoetic emphasis was due to Milman Parry.

When I read the first paragraph, my attention was caught by this sentence "Something wsa driving scholars away from the actual work to peripheral issues" (Lines 14-15).

Could someone explain why the reason/origin of the nonpoetic emphasis is deemed as not a part in the main point?

Thanks!

I had a question for people who are applying as a STEM Major who are in a similar position as me. I finished college with a 3.77 GPA and a chemistry degree. However, I am not great at standardized tests, and before taking the actual test, am guessing I will score roughly 155 on the test based on PT's. I believe this is considered a "reverse splitter" applicant. I wanted to know if you are similar to myself, if you were accepted anywhere and what scholarship offers you have been getting? Also if there are any schools that look more favorably upon reverse splitters. Thanks so much for the help, I really appreciate it!!!

Hi 7Sage Community!

We’ve renovated the pricing page for our admissions services. The prices themselves have not changed, but we now show you a new package—Admissions Consulting Plus—which used to be hidden away on its own page.

Admissions Consulting Plus entails help on ten law school applications plus all-inclusive after-the-application support. You can still purchase the old Admissions Consulting package by opting out of after-the-application support.

https://share.descript.com/view/mePWK2Z1pqZ

What do I get with Admissions Consulting Plus After-the-Application Support?

7Sage Admissions Consulting has always been about providing personalized advice to help you highlight your strengths as a candidate and tell a coherent and persuasive story throughout your application materials. We offer unlimited assistance for up to 10 law school applications. Admissions Consulting includes unlimited editing and professional proofreading of every application document and advice about application strategy from former admissions officers. We will get you started on the right path and help you stay on track.

Admissions Consulting Plus also includes continuous assistance after you submit your applications until you make a final decision at the end of the admissions cycle.

Why would I need help after I’ve applied?

We will do everything we can to help you get the decision you want as early in the cycle as possible, but some candidates find themselves facing interviews, navigating waitlists, or juggling scholarship offers. A consultant who has reviewed hundreds if not thousands of law school applications will be on hand to help you get the best outcomes. She will. . .

  • Explain how waitlists work

  • Provide guidance on what kind of letters of continued interest to send, and when, and how often

  • Prepare a strategy that incorporates your professional goals

  • Draw on her experience in admissions to prepare you for interviews, advising you on what to expect and how to present yourself in the most professional and competitive light

  • Guide you on all your communications to the law schools, including everything from additional essays to thank-you emails

  • Help you petition for a deposit extension, if necessary

  • Help you choose a school.

    • Can I just get help constructing my applications without the After-the-Application Service?

    Sure! 7Sage Admissions Consulting without the After-the-Application Service is still available at its original price.

    If I change my mind, can I buy the After-the-Application Service later?

    Yes! We still offer the After-the-Application Service as a separate service with the choice of hourly or comprehensive options. However, if you purchase this service separately, the total cost to you will be more than that of Admissions Consulting Plus.

    Mary Simms (outdoor advertising rep): "Billboards are the basis of our business. If they are torn down, our ability to earn a living will be severely damaged.

    Jack Jordan (local merchant): "The basis of our business is an attractive community..."

    When Mary said "our", she meant her advertising business.

    When Jack said "our", he meant the town/community.

    Hence (C) is the correct answer.

    With one admissions cycle closing and another about to open, Tajira McCoy and her panel of law school deans field a series of questions many applicants consider at this point of the admissions cycle:

    When does it make sense to reapply in the coming admissions cycle (and do I really need to change my personal statement)?

    What if I decide to attend the best school that admitted me and then try to transfer next year?

    What are the considerations for transfer admission, especially given new trends in legal recruitment?

    And, heck, have you ever wondered why you’re doing this Our deans’ give advice to their past selves about the doors and opportunities a legal education will open for them.

    All that - and more - is covered in the latest roundtable.

    Advice

    I am in the sticky middle of my LSAT studying and need some advice. For context, I took a diagnostic in October 2021 got a 140, then I took the August LSAT '21 (148), then again in November '21 (152). I studied consistently from October up until November and am now picking up consistency until the August LSAT. I have been taking 1 pt a week and blind reviewing then reviewing it the day after. I seem to get stuck in the hard and harder LR questions and can't seem to fully grasp parallel flaw question types. I went through the entire CC once but maybe I should go through it again. I can't seem to get higher than 156 and break into the160's. Does anyone have any tips on what to do?

    Hi, does anyone know if you withdraw before they make a decision, if they'll still have access to my files and if they'll pull them up in the next cycle, even though I would've withdrawn my application before they get a chance to look at it during this cycle?

    Hey Guys!

    I took the Feb LSAT and score a 159, which was an underperformance for me.

    I'm now PT'ing in the high 160s (my last two PTs were 169 and 168).

    My goal score is 170+

    Any suggestions on how to maintain momentum to make sure I perform at or above this score?

    Thanks in advance for all suggestions :)

    Hi everyone,

    I am wondering if anyone would be willing to post the ways in which they go about tackling the LR section of the the LSAT. Thus far through my studies LR was always my best section naturally so I did not focus on it as much. However, now that I am trying to learn it I often times get stuck on choosing the best answer choice. The question types do not bog me down it is more so the stimulus often times confuse me with all of the extra details. I am open to suggestions, tips or even a study partner since I take the test in June.

    Still feeling super iffy about taking the June LSAT. Can anyone confirm when is the last possible chance to withdraw from this test? LSAC says "June 8th 2014", so is it safe to withdraw on that day anytime before 11:59??

    Thanks!

    If someone is not admitted to law school because of a low LSAT score, can they use the same exact application for the next cycle with a higher retake score? Assuming they had a solid personal statement and LoRs. Thank you.

    Afternoon everyone. Posting so hopefully no one else will encounter the problem I just had on my test.

    There seems to be a glitch with the Proctor U system on a mac. Specifically, if you try to click on the LSAC hub's answers, move-to-new-question button, to cross off answers, or basically any other button while full screen, it can spaz out. The first five minutes of my test was me clicking in different ways hoping it would start working while waiting for the proctor to respond.

    I got lucky thought, because I minimized my screen and was then able to click properly.

    So for MAC folks -- I'd recommend not going into full screen at all, or at least knowing about this possible fix.

    Good luck everyone.

    Does anyone have any tips regarding familiarizing oneself with law passages (e.g., reading materials, websites)? When I am unfamiliar with a topic whether in RC or LR, I end up re-reading a lot even though I have a fair grasp on the logic. Any tips and tricks would be appreciated!
