Admitted student visit days can shape your entire law school experience. In this episode, @JacobBaska sits down with @TracySimmons and @KamilBrown to break down what these programs are really about and how to make the most of them.

They discuss the purpose behind admitted student visit days, what prospective students should pay attention to, and how to evaluate cultural fit within a law school community. From engaging with faculty and current students to observing classroom dynamics and campus culture, this conversation offers practical advice on navigating the admissions process with clarity and confidence.

You’ll also hear concrete tips on preparation, follow-up, networking with admissions officers and alumni, and why finding joy in the law school admissions journey matters more than you might think.

If you’re deciding where to enroll, this episode will help you move beyond rankings and into real experience.

Hi,

can someone explain why certain lessons are marked on 7sage as optional? I just started the core curriculum. I saw that the first 'optional' one was a cute story/ anecdote and skipping would be fine as it had no bearing on understanding content, but now I'm at the second optional lesson entitled ' For, since, because' and IM confused why it says optional. Does it cover it alter? is it not necessary for LSAT? I'm going to listen to it, but its throwing me off and if someone can please explain why its marked that way it would help.

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I couldn't find info about this online, so I figured I'd ask on here. I went to an undergraduate institution for a semester and ended up withdrawing from all of my classes (pretty sure it was non-punitive). Would I be required to include this transcript on my Lsac gpa? I was wondering because I did not end up earning any credits there. Thanks in advance!

Can someone please nudge me in the right direction with my personal statement? Mine centers around an event that had a significant impact on me in college. I included elements to give the reader a sense of who I am and how I think, but only one or two paragraphs directly address why I want to pursue law school. If you need more details feel free to message me! Thank you for any advice or feedback. :)

When we violate a principle, are we essentially negating that principle?

PRINCIPLE: If you intentionally misrepresent someone's beliefs, then you do so in the interest of another person.

VIOLATION: If you intentionally misrepresent someone's beliefs, then you DO NOT do so in the interest of another person.

I am basing my example off of LSAT PT 140 S1Q19.

If anyone is in the Arlington/D.C/Alexandria area, let me know if you are looking for an accountability or study partners for the September and November LSAT's.

I find myself getting stuck on a lot of weaken/strengthen questions in RC because I just don't know how to approach it. In LR I always tell myself to look for assumptions and overlooked possibilities, and in general think of making the premises less supportive or stronger support for the conclusion, and also staying away from trap answers that independently attack the conclusion or deny premises. However, in RC there's not really clear premises or reasoning so I find it hard to wrap my head around how we're supposed to then strengthen or weaken an author's argument, and whether we should consider ACs that seem to independently go against their position or give an independent reason to strengthen it.

Any suggestions on how to think about these questions?

Hi there. I received my Sept LSAT score (167) last night and scored substantially lower than my prep-tests (avg173). I knew walking out of the test that my score would be lower as I screwed up the timing on my RC section pretty substantially and ended up rushing through the last passage, barely reading and answering the questions. My top school is NYU -- I was planning on applying ED and for the RTK scholarship. I am going to retake in December, but this eliminates the opportunity to apply ED and for the RTK scholarship ( I think?).

I guess I'm wondering if there are any other options-- is there any point in applying ED with my Sept. LSAT score and allowing my December score to come in later? Or is it possible to apply to the RTK scholarship with a Dec LSAT score (the application is technically due Jan 1st. but Dec. LSAT score release date is Jan 4th).

Applying as early as possible is something that has been emphasized so much by advisors that I guess I'm feeling apprehensive about a December retake, but I am confident that I can raise my score by at least 3 pts.

Any Advice would be much appreciated.

If a school, especially a top choice school, doesn't have a "Why Us" essay, does it make sense to add it on to the end of your personal statement?

If you have the admissions program for 7sage then you are going to recognize the name Anna Ivey, or at least the book Ivey's guide to Law School Admissions. I was curious as to how a real admissions officer took every part of our applications into consideration and if they could, what honest advice they would have. Anna Ivey is a former admissions officer for University of Chicago Law School (i believe), and when she left to create her own admissions company, she wrote a books giving advice students want when talking to councilors. She talked about everything from what to say about low gpas, and some nuances as far as supplemental statements go, what types of personal statements tend to catch admission officers eyes and talked about the nuances (like making sure you spell resume properly aka résumé). Those things she said really mattered when they make decisions between certain candidates and would matter to schools who don't do interviews like U of Chicago do to get to know the applicants. I HIGHLY suggest reading it because I found it to be incredibly helpful and made me look back over my own résumé (one my career advisor said was good) because it had mistakes in terms of set up and what I didn't use it to do which was have a 'personal section'. I didn't by the higher costing admissions programs that 7sage has because me and my family don't have a great deal of money.

So if you're looking for advice that is low costing I definitely suggest getting her ebook for kindle (you can get the app, it's free for some and my cost a bit for others) but it's totally worth it. I read through the entire thing in about a day and half, if that. I highlighted and made notes too because it was that helpful.

My September score wasn't what I wanted but it's good enough for most of the schools I'm looking at. I'm retaking in December but should I go ahead and apply now? If I apply now, should I write an addendum about another score coming or will they see that I'm registered?

I suppose this would take a little bit of insider information, but I have received several fee waivers recently from good schools and their site states they won't send fee waivers until they have your lsat? Probably coincidence but would be interested if anybody had any insight.

Hello,

I am looking for notes/comprehensive summary of the logical reasoning section for each question category. I would really appreciate if you message me your notes on the course.

Thank you so much!!!

Or can you work in this field without it

http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-3-section-3-passage-1-questions/

I chose D, but the answer is C.

Doesn't the passage talk about theoretician's perspective about the satellites of asteroids?

I don't know why D is wrong.

Can anyone explain me why D is wrong and C is right?

Please help me.

Thanks!

I live in the Chicagoland area. I am planning to take the December or February LSAT. I want to pace myself through all the lessons and take one practice test each week. If anyone is interested in studying the same way, I would like to bounce ideas back-n-forth. Skype would be ideal.

Thanks,

Hi I am studying for the Dec test and wondering if there's anyone wants to study and discuss questions together. We can meet in a library or the meeting room in my building. My location is close to Bloor&Yonge. Lets study together!

Hey Guys, I live in ATL near the battery and I am taking the April LSAT. I would love to meet some people in the area that would be interested in potentially starting an ATL study group or just a study buddy that would meet once a week or once every other week.

Looking to meet up a few times a week.

did anyone start a February study group yet ?

I wanted to suggest adding a way for users to see their overall average time spent per question for Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension across all drills and practice.

Ideally, this could appear in the analytics section alongside existing stats like total questions attempted, accuracy, questions answered per day, average scores, etc. Having an overall average time per question would make it much easier to track pacing improvement over time and understand how close a user is to test-day timing.

It could also be very helpful to break this timing data down by question difficulty (Levels 1–5). Seeing average time by difficulty would allow users to identify whether they are spending too much time on easier questions or over-investing in higher-difficulty questions, which directly relates to pacing and skip strategy under timed conditions.

Since 7Sage already tracks both question difficulty and time spent on individual questions, this would be an aggregate view of data that’s already being collected. I think it would be a useful addition to the analytics tools, especially for students like myself who are working to improve their timing.

Thanks for considering this.

I'm bad at writing my resume, and I don't think it's a natural skill at all. I don't think I'm unique in this way. Anyway, I did find a great resource called Creddle which is FREE. Don't worry I'm not an affiliate! It helps you organize, and format your resume. Even better it pulls from your LinkedIn so you don't have to compile it from scratch. It helped me create my first decent (fingers crossed) resume ever. It has a cover letter section too. If anyone has any questions about using it feel free to PM me since I've gotten pretty comfortable with it. Hope it helps. :)

If anyone has a PS that is centered around divorce/close family member's death, I'd be glad to swap and offer some insight. My PS revolves around that subject. Go ahead and message me and I'll share email.

Hi all!

I was wondering if anybody had any sort of comprehensive CC review that they wouldn't mind sharing with me? Long story short all of my study materials were ruined in a car accident :(

Anything would be greatly appreciated!

Happy Studying!
