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. :)

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!

If all goes well and I'm admitted into law school, I will have been living in my state for 11 months when law school begins. You have to live in a state for one year before you can be considered a permanent resident. There's an option to write a non-resident addendum to qualify for in-state tuition, but I'm not sure what to say/how to begin the addendum. Any suggestions?

Hello 7sage admin,

Could you guys put a target time on the RC passages? In the LGs, the target time is helpful, and I think that a target time for the RC passages would be super helpful, especially since the timing in RC feels much more unpredictable than the other sections. Obviously, everyone's going to be a little different based on background etc, but a ballpark figure would be awesome. Really loving the curriculum, keep up the good work!

Is there a wait period for a rejected application to a law school with rolling admissions? For example, if you apply in the fall and get rejected, can you reapply in the spring, or do you have to wait until the following calendar year?

Hey everyone,

Hope everyone's grey day went well! Although I appreciate getting the score before the holidays, that does mean that I have less time to work on some of the school specific optional essays. I'm wondering if anyone would want to team up over these next couple of weeks and work on editing each other's optional essays/keep each other on track? It would probably work best if they were the same schools & I'll be working on essays for most of the T-14 over the next couple weeks.

Let me know if this sounds interesting to you!

Anyone open to trade? I'm aiming for T14

I just took the December LSAT and got the score I needed. Now I am going to finish up my law school applications and submit them in the next couple of weeks. After that I will begin studying for the GMAT.

I started studying for the LSAT using Kaplan. It didn't work too well for me. I found 7sage and had a 12 point increase in my score by studying 6 weeks leading up to the test.

I am wondering if any of you are doing the JD/MBA and if so what prep courses you have found that are similar to the 7sage style.

Thanks in advance!

I took the December exam and got a score of 161. It was the 1st time I took the exam and scored approx. 3 points lower than I was scoring prior to the exam. I am applying to UCI Law and was wondering if you guys think I should retake in February or not. My GPA is 3.45

UCI's 25 percentile GPA: 3.38 and LSAT 160.

50 percentile GPA: 3.57 and LSAT 163.

75 percentile GPA 3.68 and LSAT 165.

I know my numbers are a bit higher than the 25th percentile but I'm not sure if they're strong enough. Any advice or opinion would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

For a school that you REALLY want to go to, how many optional statements would you do? All of them?

In my case, I am applying to Penn (I'm a bit above the 25 percentile for LSAT and GPA, so it is a reach for me). The school offers 4 optional essay topics: 1) standard DS, 2) 'Why X school?', 3) question about teamwork, 4) typical addenda question.

I am already planning to submit #1 & #2 in addition to my PS. The instructions say 'You may answer more than one essay topic if you so choose.' Of course no reason to answer #4 if unnecessary, but is it bad form not to come up with something for #3?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Hi all! Is anyone interested in talking through interview questions/doing mock interviews together sometime in the next week or 2? I don't have a super clear idea of how we could structure it. If so, please DM me with some info about you and what you're interested in studying/where you've applied. Thanks! (3(/p)

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in reading my Diveristy Statement and giving me some feedback? I'm happy to do the same.

Prompt: "If there is any information you would like to bring to the Committee's attention that has not been covered in the application or your personal essay, you are welcome to do so by attaching a separate statement. You can include information about your family background, reasons for a weak semester in college, or any other information that you feel should be considered when your application is reviewed."

I understand the first portions of of the prompt for diversity, background, and academic record but if I have done other additional essays, in my case adversities and achievements in my elected office bid, should I include it or not? For context my personal statement talks about my career and my motivations for going to law school, but doesn't address adversity or achievement within the campaign itself.

Hey guys, I am debating whether I should write a diversity statement or not. I am already writing about a socio-economic challenge that I overcame in my socio-economic addendum and I don’t really have a topic to write for my diversity statement aside from the fact that my family was dirt poor but we still moved around the world in search of a better place to live and so I got to live in different cultures and learned to adapt. Is that a good enough topic? Because I don’t see how that could contribute to the classroom disscussions. Maybe I just don’t know enough of what they want

I'm looking for a study buddy or two in the Sacramento area. We can meet for coffee and discuss strategies :)

Hey ,

I understand that we are going through different parts of our LSAT journey. This is why I wanted to know if anyone wanted to be accountability partners? If you live in chicago that is a plus because we can study together in person. If interested please message me.

Does anyone have any reviews about this place? I just signed up to take the June LSAT there and I'm a little nervous because I have never heard of the place before. Thank you in advance!

Thoughts?

Hello all - curious to know if anyone is near Flemington, NJ. Wanted to see if anyone wanted to meet up on a regular basis to go over the CC and study together. I really need accountability and a study partner.

Thx.

In addition to the June 2018 study group, I'm hoping to find a study buddy who can Skype or meet in person in the NYC area. I'm currently studying full-time, and I would like to discuss questions from PTs (most likely based on the June 2018 Study Group schedule) and/or other PTs/sections that I would like to review in more depth. We could also share general and specific question type strategies. Please send me a PM, if you are interested. We can decide if our score ranges, objectives, and schedules are compatible.

Hi there!

I was wondering if anyone in the Boston area needed a study buddy. I'm currently signed up for the February test, but don't think I've studied adequately enough, so I'll likely cancel my score and take the June test. If meeting in person doesn't work for you, I'm happy to call via Skype or another online platform. I'd ideally like to take one practice test per week (I don't have too much time as a full-time student), and I'd want to review questions together and maybe exchange studying strategies.

My goal is 170+ but I'm currently hovering in the 160 range with BRs in the upper 160s. Since I've been self-studying this entire time, I thought working with a buddy might freshen things up and provide a new perspective. I know there are larger studying groups happening at the moment, but I think working one-on-one or in a small group might be best for me.

Feel free to message me!

On UVA's application there is a section titled Activities & Interests as I am sure many people know. I know what I want to put for my answers to each question in the section, but I'm confused as to how I should format my answer for the first box. I originally just made a bulleted list type format for all of my significant extra-curriculars, but when I reviewed my application it all just comes out as a cluttered blob of a paragraph. Does anyone have any idea how to properly format the answer in this section? Or should I just assume that UVA admissions knows that my list is going to come out as a cluttered blob?

Here's an example of my formatting vs how it comes out in the preview:

XX Student Affairs Senate, XX, XX

Elected Student Senator, Academic Affairs Committee, 5 hours/week 8/2015–12/2015

• Helped conduct student review of changes in university admission standards.

XX Model UN Team, XX, XX

Team Member, 3 hours/week 8/2015–12/2015

• Represented XX at the American Model United Nations Conference in Chicago, IL.

vs

XX Student Affairs Senate, Lincoln, XX Elected Student Senator, Academic Affairs Committee, 5 hours/week

8/2015-12/2015 Worked on student legislation, allocation of budgets, and coordination of campus events. Helped conduct student review of changes in university admission standards. XX Model UN Team, XX, XX Team Member, 3 hours/week 8/2015-12/2015 Represented XX at the American Model United Nations Conference in Chicago, IL.

Hi everyone I thought it would be cool to see if anyone on here is planning on attending MH this fall!
