I'm in DC looking for study partners! I work part time, so my afternoons (after 12:30pm) on weekdays are generally open, plus weekends. I've found I get a lot more out of studying when I'm talking it over with someone else. PM me if you're interested and we can make plans to get together! I'm fresh out of the CC, scoring in the 150's. Planning on April/June LSAT. Aiming for 170!

Hello,

I did not choose A (the correct answer) in this question because I thought "specific examples" was incorrect given the fact that the passage did not raise any plural nouns and actually seemed quite general to describe their examples. Can someone explain why the examples raised in the passage count as "specific examples"?

Thanks!

I was waitlisted a UM and they invited me to submit any additional materials I didn't include in my application. I have a diversity statement that I could send or should I just send a LOCI?

Thanks!

Hi All. I have two questions:

(1) Roughly when did the important distinguishing features of newer logical reasoning questions become the norm? I'm thinking in particular about longer and tougher stems, more frequent strengthen/weaken/RRE questions, less frequent formal logic questions, and generally trickier answer choices?

(2) In these newer LR sections, are the toughest questions typically found between questions #11 and 20? Or are 21-26 generally harder? Or has it gotten more random?

I've been largely following the "save the best for last" approach in my studying thus far, and so have only recently moved from tests #20-45 or so to more recent tests. Recently, I've begun alternating between tests near #80 and closer to the 50s, and plan to keep doing so. Today, though, I took my first test in the 50s (#55) after taking a couple near #80, and the LR sections felt much closer to the old style I'd been used to than the new style I'd seen in #78 and #80---in particular I noticed more formal logic, and that the hardest questions were located near the end rather than the late-middle. So I'm wondering what to expect. Roughly when did the shift that happened between early and late tests occur, and how accurate is my sense (partially based on some article I now can't find) that the newer sections have harder questions towards the late-middle?

Hi all, does anyone here has insight into the UC Berkeley's BLOS in-person interview? What are some of the questions and what is the general feel of the interview? What advice would you give a BLOS finalist who is preparing for his/her interview?

Hi there,

I really need advice on applying to law schools. I attended the University of Michigan for undergraduate and got As and Bs. I think with a good LSAT score I can probably get into a decent school. My problem is that I struggled my junior year with extreme anxiety. It carried over to my senior year and I was even hospitalized for it. For this reason, I was panicked to attend office hours/class and never established a relationship with any of my professors. The idea of one-on-one time would panic me. Now, In hindsight I understand how much I put myself at a disadvantage. What should I do about recommendation letters? I fear that my lack of possible recommendation will outweigh any of my academic achievements or LSAT scores. I graduated in May 2019 and plan to apply this upcoming admissions cycle (if I can take the LSAT) in time. I’m looking for any and all advice. I just want to know what my options are and how I can optimize my situation to ensure the strongest application for myself. Please help and advise. Thanks!

Hi,

I understand why C is right, but what I have trouble understanding is why D is wrong.

I mean, in terms of D, couldn't it be argued that Politician P is "appealing to wholly irrelevant issues" by talking about taxpayers' happiness to distract from the real issue of whether or not there is an obligation to raise taxes?

Any #help would be appreciated!

Is anyone studying in Seoul around Gangnam interested in making a study group? I'm planning on taking the March/April LSAT for the second time if anyone wants to kill this exam together, lots of study cafes here to take PT's/BR at

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?

Anyone is the Charlotte/Matthews area? I’m part of an online study group but would love to meet some people in person if there’s anyone else out there studying for a July/July test. Doesn’t have to be super regular, even once a month or every other week would be nice just to touch base.

Let me know!

I'm waiting to hear back from one law school and recently I just had the attorney general's office decided to join in on a brief that I wrote for a law firm. Is this something that I should update the schools with and let them know? It's a reach school for me. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

#help# For this question, I eliminated all 5 answers, because I think none of them are right. The right answer is E, but I doubted it. Since E only said the period of Bruno's tenure is just matching exactly to the period when the spy was transmitting information. There could be many people or clergies working in the French embassy at that time, how can this choice exclude this possible alternative and support the argument???

Can anyone explain how B is justified in supporting this hypothesis? I didn't see any relevance between strategies of defence and the two functions of infrared sensor.

Any North Carolina Study groups? Especially in the Raleigh-Durham area?

Is this standard practice? I am writing a LOCI to School A and was wondering if I should include any info on other acceptances, or should I skip entirely?

Schools A and B are in the same city. School B is ranked slightly worse. I applied ED to school A.

I had a Skype interview today with an alum of the school, and he suggested letting the admissions office know if I’ve gotten into other programs. He added that the admissions office appreciates the transparency and will likely render a decision sooner. Is this true for most/all schools? I’m at the edge of my seat waiting to hear back from a different school, since my husband got a job offer in the same city. He doesn’t want to accept the job until I’m admitted. I have been admitted to 5 schools. Thoughts? Thanks!

Planning on taking the lsat on April 25 if anyone wants to meet up and take PT's/BR together under exam conditions and just overall kill this exam together. If anyone is interested email me at leehhl1123@gmail.com or leave a comment here (check every day or so)

Taking in March, would like to do some BR sessions by phone up to the test. Any takers? I'm in the Eastern time zone.

If anyone else is on a waitlist for their ~dream~ school and isn't ready to give up on the 2020 cycle I want to start a study group for the April 25 LSAT. Willing to do online/in-person study group. Scored in the low 160s and hoping to reach 167. If you're interested let me know! Or if there are already similar study groups like this I would like to join one.

Greetings 7 Sagers,

I was hoping to get some insight on the ethics of contacting schools for application advice. Is it acceptable to touch base with a school and inquire about advice they can give you as a JD applicant? I'm sure there are several people in this community who are either 1) waiting for a decisions, or 2) on the waiting list, and would greatly appreciate some advice. Thanks!

Hi I'm most interested in going to Stanford and although I've contacted the admissions office I haven't been able to get in touch with students. Are there any students or graduates who'd be willing to message? I did try the Facebook alumni page as well to no avail. Thank you!

Hi,

Can anyone help explain why the answer here is E instead of C? I understand why A,B, and D are wrong, but I just don't understand why C is wrong. I felt the main idea of the passage was that we need to reform the way we rehabilitate child criminals, which seemed to me to be a form of cooperation between criminologists and law enforcement (since creating such policy would be a form of law enforcement finally acting on the criminologists' findings).

Any #help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Has anyone taken the LSAT at the Sofitel hotel in Midtown NY? What was your experience like?

I'm 100% supportive of 7Sage and I believe the law school prep will be well worth peoples' time and money. Aren't there already books to prepare you for law school, such as the Short & Happy Guide to (torts, property etc)? Does anyone have experience using these books?

I'm interested in knowing if people have looked into alternatives and if those are already great resources, or if they're missing some critical points of the law.

Anyhow I'm going to the 7Sage course anyways and thank you 7Sage for providing another resource for us :)
