I want to go to flex law school (part-time online) because I am in my 30s and already had an phd degree. But I heard law firms usually do not want hire a lawyer with a part-time law degree. They won't treat my flex JD seriously.
In these hectic cycle, will not needing loans/scholarships give you a boost at all? Basically, if you are lucky enough to have someone to pay for law school full freight, does that give you an advantage? For example a 170 and a 3.7 GPA for a t-14 law school, does that matter at all? My cousin acts like its a huge deal
Thoughts? App would be complete on Dec 1 when scores are released --
Hello! Anyone in Orlando wanting to meet up for a logical reasoning study session?
Hello everyone,
Because my CAS GPA (3.12) is so different from my GPA from my university (3.69), I will be needing to attach an addendum. The culprit behind this difference are my grades from community college. Putting it bluntly, I was still very much a child and I had not yet learned how to be a proper student, and although I had retaken the GPA sinking classes with my worst grades in community college, it still looks dreadful on my transcript. My grades from the university I later transferred to are very good and speak for themselves. and I never even got a C!
I'm wondering if anybody else has a similar dynamic going on, and what's the best approach this on the addendum. I don't want it to sound like a list of excuses, but neither of my parents went to college and I didn't even learn what a GPA was until I was placed on Academic Warning, I was forced to move out at 18 and worked, and as I mentioned before, it took me some time before I caught my rhythm.
I just canceled my month by month subscription for next month, but if I wanted to start again later, will my data be saved or am I starting new?
I received my Oct LSAT score and it was a 151 (PTs were 155-160). This was my 4th time taking the LSAT, and I'm stuck on whether I should apply early or retake in January and apply with the January score. My LSAC GPA is a 2.8, I'm a urm, and will have 2 years of experience by the time I start next fall. Any advice would be appreciated!
Hi, I was curious if anyone had any 7sage videos that they would suggest someone scoring mid 150's should re-watch in the couple of weeks leading to the November test. Any videos that you think explain something often forgotten or gave you a feeling of clarity would be appreciated!
Thank!
I had applied to a couple of schools and one of them changed my application status to “incomplete.” I have one LSAT score already and they made a note that it is incomplete because I am retaking the LSAT in November. I know my application will not be reviewed until the status is “complete” and I am
assuming that the fact that they would not review it yet means that I probably would not have gotten in with my current LSAT score? Is it worth reaching out to admissions? Does my incomplete application status essentially mean it was pointless to submit my application early?
If the people who record the videos for 7sage can read this...omg please speak slower and not so close to the microphone lol! It's like you combine one word and make it into three because you want to get the questions over with. And saying "this is a really easy game...".........yes, it is easy for you because you are teaching it...we are learning it so it may not be easy for some yet.
Maybe it's just me who feels this way...but whew.
I'm signed up for the November LSAT. I'm scoring 155-159 on them. I have an internship that starts on January 6th so I cannot take the January LSAT because I will be busy. If I choose to take the January one, then I'll have to cancel my internship but that means I'll get a better score. Or, I'll have to push myself until test day and keep the internship. I am so nervous I won't get a good score though. Can someone please offer some advice?
My title says it all, but does anyone have insight if withdrawing a LSAT registration count towards the 3-limit in a testing year? I have taken the LSAT twice and prefer more time to hit my target score instead of rushing to take it a third time.
The official website says, "withdrawing your registration will prevent an absentee notation from appearing on your LSAC file, but you will not receive a refund."
Other LSAT prep services have mentioned no adverse effects if one withdraws.
If anyone could help clear this up, it would be appreciated.
Hello all! Was the June 2021 LSAT part of the previous testing cycle or the current one? I took the June 2021, October 2021, and will be taking November 2021. In case I need to take the January 2022, my eligibility will hinge on whether or not June 2021 counts towards this or previous year’s testing cycle (given the 3 times per cycle testing limit). I’d appreciate any insights!
Hello! I am in need of some advice. I have taken the LSAT twice and most recently got a 159 on the October LSAT. While this is not the score I wanted, it is the score that has been officially sent to schools which I applied to in early October. I have a 3.8 GPA so I am split for several schools.
Does it make sense to leave my applications as is with the 159 on file or do I retake the January 2022 LSAT and ask for admissions to wait and review my application then?
(Unfortunately I am unable to take the Nov. LSAT as the test dates interfere with a prior personal commitment so I either keep my 159 or wait until January 2022). Any thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi all! I am going through it right now trying to figure out what would be best thing to do so any advice would be welcome. I took the October LSAT and did not do as well as I had hoped. My GPA is better than the median for all of the schools that I am looking at but my LSAT score is about 4-5 points away from the median LSAT score. I am signed up for the November LSAT but I'm not sure if I can raise my score up to the 4-5 point mark... Would it be better to push it back to January and apply later or take my chances on the November LSAT and hope for the best. This would also be the 3rd LSAT I am taking. Good luck to everyone also taking the November LSAT!
What is a more difficult feat. Obviously some are more intuitive at RC than others, but for the average student who has difficulty lets say -8 LR and -8 RC.
I just couldn't anticipate the flaws with either of these questions and would like to know how people who got these correct went about doing them. My pre-phase going into the answer choices was that there wasn't a perfect correlation in the premises and so the author is incorrectly concluding that therefore there was no causal relationship. Is this the correct pre-phase? Is there a better one?

I tend to mouth the words as I read, especially RC passages. I don't make any sound but it helps a lot. Would this be a problem on test day?
I am confused. The LSAC.org says that "The test will have three scored sections — one section each of Reading Comprehension, Analytical Reasoning, and Logical Reasoning — and we will return to our pre-COVID practice of including a fourth, unscored variable section that will allow us to validate new test questions for future use and ensure that they are free from any form of bias. But I read other forms and they said there are 5 sections as 2 LR, 1 LG, 1 RC and 1 unscored section. So are there 4 or 5 sections totally?
Hi everyone. I will take the LSAT on Nov 12th. I have started to prepare in August. In this short time, I finished a book and watched 7Sage videos. I did 2 PTs and got 145. I have only 10 days from now to improve my score to 153 and I need your advice. Do you think it is possible? Thank you and good luck!
So I have a quick question about whether I should include a letter of recommendation written by an employee of my cousin's law firm. This employee is an attorney and I have worked with him for a few years as a paralegal. We get along well and they taught me a lot.
Obviously I won't have my cousin write the letter, but what do you think about including a letter of recommendation from the employee? I told the employee that they were free to write whatever they wanted and that I had waived my right to see the letter. The letter would be on company letterhead, which has my cousin's last name (also my last name). How would admissions officers look at this? Should I explicitly disclose that it is a family business on my resume and personal statement, or is it obvious since we share a name? I want to be transparent as possible but I'm not sure how to approach this.
I have two other letters written by professors. I was thinking of including this one as a third letter, since I have been out of school for 5+ years.
I applied to UVA less than a month ago and just got a waitlist email. I'm a splitter 172 LSAT/3.68 UGPA.
I read on Spivey that UVA interviews most applicants but I didn't get one.
Not freaking out about it but curious as to why this came so early. Anyone else get a UVA waitlist? Or a waitlist at a school super fast?
Some schools allow you to submit up to 4 LOR, but is that too many?
I need some advice !
does anyone have the setup to this game?
Hi all!
Drilling logic games prior to the Nov flex test and would love to add a few more to my memorization rotation. Here are the ones I've recently slipped up on that I've been drilling:

PT 75, S4, G4
PT 80, S3, G3
PT 80, S4, G4
PT 90, S3, G3

Any other suggestions (especially GrpMisc and Misc games) would be greatly appreciated!
