Who would be willing to help me look over statement? More than aware than it's a personal statement and has to be written on my own, I have a draft done, but little refinements / suggestions with certain things from an outside perspective would be great!

Anyone have pros for each school relative to the other?

I've done some research but would like some outside opinion / insight.

I would love to live / practice in San Diego and don't know much about Malibu. Money is of course a factor so it would depend on what each school offered in that sense. USD seems like a great school to me holistically.

Will Pepperdine grads be competing with LMU, Chapman, UCLA, etc grades more so than San Diego?

I had a friend who got into ucd, Berkeley, but still chose Gonzaga because she liked the location a lot more and wants to stay there. I don't know why people talk so much about rankings here. Obviously a super "Low" or not as reputable school AND the tier 1 ivy schools - that makes sense, but I know so many people who graduated from USD or other schools and were very successful.

Please do not respond with any pretentious comments. I need actual advice.

Hey guys! I took the November LSAT not sure what my score is gonna be tbh, but I know I have can do greta so I have the January LSAT to take if things don't work out. I think the best last option now to score well in January is to get a tutor. Does anyone have any recommendations of anyone they may know? I really want to just score in the 160s

Hi! does rescheduling/postponing a test you have already registered for look bad on your application? I plan to take the LSAT (second attempt) in January 2023 but would like to postpone if it won't negatively affect my app.

Before I sign out from this family of network, I want to first thank J.Y. for his divinity. He will forever be a man I respect deeply, whose guidance through this LSAT journey has been like a powerful torchlight in darkness.

I got a score I am proud of, and that would not have been possible without J.Y. (It was not working out at the gym or drinking coffee that led to my score increase. :) A million thanks, J.Y.!!!

I also thank the community here for their support. I met great friends through this channel, without whom not.

7Sage helped me a ton with the LSAT, and I will be recommending this prep course for those who struggle with the test.

If you need to reach me, I can be contacted at my email address [redacted]

See you all in law school or beyond.

The November 2022 was my first LSAT, and I plan on taking it again in January 2023... with that being said I want to get the rest of my application in before Christmas. So I'm wondering how I go about making sure my application isn't denied with my Nov LSAT score because I instead want them to measure my Jan LSAT score... however I will be submitting my application right when scores or released or a little after, and I don't think I want to necessarily cancel my Nov score. does this make sense?? Please help!! #help

Lots of applications require separate essays for each Scholarship.

NYU app has like 20 different schollys listed in the app each requiring an essay.

Berkeley has at least 3 different scholarship essays

How are those who are applying for Schollys handling these? Are you just checking the box that you're applying without submitting the essays?

Or can one simply point them to PS?

It seems like there's no downside to applying for EACH scholarship even though the chances are small of getting them. Anyone in the same boat?

On ordering games where a rule says x is lower than y, does that mean x is less than y? For example, if there are 6 slots, if y is 2 then x is 1 right? Or did I just completely bomb the November exam LOL.

I took the LSAT twice (cancelled one, kept one) and I'm planning on taking it one last time (fingers crossed!) in February. I didn't finish the core curriculum before taking either test, but I'm wondering if it's worth going back and trying to get through everything in full if I already have a pretty decent understanding of the basics, plus the extra experience of 2 real tests. Is there a good way to approach this so I don't have to start completely from the beginning?

I have a professor who I've worked with in the classroom as a teaching assistant. He's seen me explain class concepts to students and can vouch for my communication abilities, but he's never personally graded me. Is this sufficient for an academic reference?

I have a couple of full-time positions and internships which I have put in the main experience section but every time I wasn't working at a full-time job or interning in college, I was still hustling to make ends meet but they were jobs like being a security guard on the weekends, driving for door dash/UberEATS after school.

Would this even be something I should include? Personally, I want to include it because it did make up a significant part of my undergrad experience, for four years I was always working in some capacity to be able to afford my education and I would like to highlight that onto my resume in some way.

Recently in tests, with regards to the LR section, I've been scoring perfect or near perfect on all the four-star/five-star "curve breaker" questions, though been getting some three star and two star questions wrong, and on the occasion a one-star question too. What could the possible cause be you think? Seems like an odd pattern I want to fix as I really think I can master LR once I fix this issue. Note, I almost always get more 3 star and 2 star questions wrong than 4/5 star questions.

Hi everyone!

I experienced proctor interruptions during my LSAT on my very first section, which took time away from answering questions and forced me to guess the ones I could not get to. Due to this, I am seeking an LSAT retake. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar circumstance and if the retake test difficulty was similar to the original testing date. I genuinely thought that the Nov. LSAT was fair but unfortunately, stress from the interruptions got the best of me and my ability to concentrate. I am nervous that the retake will be a different level of difficulty and end up being worst. What do you guys think?

Is this happening for anyone else? I just recently faced this problem for the past two weeks and it is really annoying not being able to create drills on specific problems I need to work on. I have already removed caches and cookies from chrome. It is just the LR that is not working for me, but RC and LG works fine.

I have been out of undergrad for 3 years and work full time as a legal assistant. I scored a 150 in June and a 158 in October (I started using 7Sage in August to help study prep) I feel confident since my PT scores are in the 165+ range that I should re-take in January. I am working on safety school apps as well at the moment and plan to apply to goal school in February with my new score. If I have another significant score increase, do I need to write a LSAT addendum? What are the recommendations for people with multiple scores?

I NEVER thought I would get to the point of actually being interested in the test just for the sake of information but here I am. 🤡

There was a really interesting LR question on the November test about a bird that makes a high-pitched warning call... Does anyone remember what kind of bird it was?? I genuinely want to look it up!
