One of my applications offers an optional supplemental statement to highlight a trait, strength, or lived experience not immediately visible elsewhere in my application.

Most of my significant experiences are already reflected in my resume, but my experience with learning disabilities is not. I am considering writing about how overcoming them shaped my self-advocacy and perspective, but I worry it may sound too similar to an addendum. Do you think this would be a worthwhile topic? Also, what types of experiences do applicants typically discuss in statements like these? Thanks!

Hello , I take the test in November trying to reach a 160. I want to turn in my application by December to the schools I'm applying. The schools deadline is in February and one is in March but with limited seats. I just been drilling since June never taking a preptest or a test timed due to the fear of failure. I also need to learn how to master the level 4 and level 5 questions. I really want to go to law school and the application process from the personal statements , resume , keeping up with my gpa , plus studying for the lsat and trying to get personal recommendation letters is all stressing me out. I need a tutor that can encourage me , give me questions to do on my own and evaluate it . when I circle the answer I will write down why I chose that answer so the tutor can see my thought process and evaluate me.

I just need an lsat tutor who can support me and not only tutor me but give me the rightful steps to get into law school. Law school is my ultimate dream and I just want to get a 160 or at least the mid sixties. Thank you

Hi! I graduated undergrad in December 2021. I have some professors I've spoken to about law school, but only one that really remembers me / can speak to my work. There are others that I had classes with, but I assume I would get rather cookie cutter letters from them, because it's been so long since I was their student. I have positive work relationships with my manager, director, and the CEO of the nonprofit I work at. If I am submitting three letters of recommendation for a school, how many should be professional vs academic?

Bonus question: for my professional letters what do you think would hold more weight for a school: letter from a manager who knows me very well or letter from a CEO who knows me but can't speak to the exact day-to-day of my work?

Apologies for the long post! Thanks for your thoughts.

I have been taking LR sections, as well as drills consistently over the past couple of weeks. Not sure what it was but suddenly it has begun to feel like the clock is playing a big role in my answers. I am scoring well during Blind Review, and often I can recover all of the questions I missed during Blind Review very quickly, but when doing the sections or drills live I make simple mistakes. Any advice on how to get Blind Review and Live Scores to reconcile?
