Hi everyone,

We’ve collected the new application requirements of T50 law schools here:

https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/lesson/application-requirements-for-top-schools/

These come straight from LSAC. We’ve added notes about how to interpret the essays. You’ll also find information about the schools’ medians and deadlines. Finally, we've added links to the full application instructions.

If you’re interested in other schools, we’ve compiled almost all requirements in a Coda doc:

Good luck!

For the August flex test, I got 164 again for the second time same as the June flex. Honestly I couldn’t believe it and stared at the screen for like 5mins blinking lol. It was very disappointing because I thought I felt much more comfortable with RC and it’s usually my worst section but it doesn’t help that I can’t tell how I did on each section. Weeks approaching the test date, I was PTing around 167 -169 with some outliers. I’m seriously losing confidence in my ability to improve.. I would really appreciate to hear some of your advice / thoughts on whether it would be worth to study for 3rd take.

For some more context, I have 3.77 GPA and wish to go to T14 school (would love to go to NYU or Berkeley as I hope to go into public sector after). I’ve been working full time at a consulting firm for 3 years.

Because I know my August lsat scores are supposed to come in tomorrow :( (technically today bc it’s late) is anybody with me ?? Feel free to talk about ur scores/how the test went for u on this post :( I’m nervous

I started studying in August 2020 and ended up taking the August Flex, on the grounds that I'd take advantage of the flex format to practice and better prepare for subsequent tests with less panic associated with first-time LSAT experience, then use the score preview option for first-time takers to cancel (at that time it was uncertain whether future tests would also be flex, hence my decision to test with (1 month of studying).(/p)

I received a 164 on the August Flex and am retaking in Oct./Nov., but now I'm not so sure if I should cancel the August score.

Working under the assumption that I see an improvement in future scores (regardless of validity of such claim) and that my ultimate goal is 170+, is it better to cancel? Below would be two ideal situations (there's also the possibility that I cancel and score lower, but considering only the upside first), but I'm unsure if there is any nuanced difference in the expected return:

(1) first score canceled, second score 164+ score, done with LSAT

(2) first score 164, second score 164+, done with LSAT

So the difference would be having a 164 somewhere on my application in addition to a second score, or simply having one score I'm satisfied with and one shown as canceled.

I'm aware that Law Schools only look at the highest score, but that the more retakes there are, the less credit given by Law Schools to succeeding scores. I was wondering maybe cancelling a score would offset to an extent the impression of multiple retakes/not starting out with a higher score, or maybe this doesn't matter...

Any input would be appreciated! Thank you for your time.

I apologize if others have posted a similar question here before in regards to their own stats, but I don't have anyone to go to for advice about this, and am unsure exactly what to do.

After studying since April, I received my August FLEX score today of 167. Ironically that's exactly my 7Sage average, but in the past month I've been scoring routinely 169-172 range. I really believe that I could've scored a few extra points on LG if it wasn't for technical issues in the middle of the section that caused me to frantically go through Game 4. In other words, I believe I could score better, and I signed up for October knowing that I might have this feeling.

However, some of the schools I'm considering have 167 as above their medians, and my double-major GPA is a 3.99. Because of my GPA I was seriously looking into some of the T14s, with UVA being an absolute reach/'dream' school. I had aimed for a 167 when this was Georgetown's median, but see now that this has increased to 168. Bummer.

Regardless of this, there are many schools in the 14-30 range that are still very much desirable for me, including my undergrad, GW, which is ranked 23. I'm above the medians for each of these schools and am also very interested in them, too.

My question is this: if I was to forgo UVA in favor of submitting my applications as quickly as possible (submitting to Georgetown as the highest ranked school instead), does it even make sense for me to try the LSAT in October? I am signed up for it, but since university started I've been very busy and haven't really sat down for a practice test (I study on and off throughout the week). My greatest fear is that I somehow get lower than the 167 and it's going to ruin what is already a satisfying position now.

Any and all advice is appreciated!

Hi all, for those of you who used this tool and have gone through an application cycle, how have your percentages contested with your outcome? For example, did you see more acceptance from schools where your chances were over 50%, or more rejections where your chances were below 50%?

P.S. Please feel free to share cases when they did not match. I'm also interested in how your softs must have played out.

Thanks!

Hi! Taking both the October and November tests, and still really struggling with consistency on both RC and LR. I am looking for a tutor within the 7sage community who is willing to work with me at least 2-3 times/ week, starting as soon as possible.

Let me know!

I recently finished my second go at the LR portion of the CC. Up to this point I have been drilling untimed and by question type (PTs1-11 and 20-35). Doing this has allowed me to become more comfortable with LR. However, I am not sure what my next move should be. Should I do a timed section of LR? I have saved PTs 12-19 for section drills, just not sure if I am ready for that yet. How do you track your improvement on timed sections? Do you use data from timed sections to go back to drill by question type? I would really appreciate any insight.

ive been studying since february as a full-time undergrad and was consistently around the high 160s-low 170s for tests. just got my score and it's a 162.

i don't know what went wrong? i know the score itself is fine, but it is so far off my expectations. i don't know where to go from here. i've been so over this test ever since i took it in august -- how do i get back to studying?

Hey all, I was scoring higher on PTs but got a 154 on the august. I'm thinking of retaking just for a chance for some better scholarship money from my schools. I know I'm ok with my 154 but I want that extra chance. I am thinking of registering for November and then scores release on Nov 24th. Is this a decent amount of time to rack up a few points more hopefully and apply? Do I need to cancel my August score (I got score preview) or just do a retake? I'm assuming I just sign up for another one to retake and the other score will be available on apps.

Hi everyone-

During undergrad (graduated near 5 years ago), I argued with a campus safety officer. As a result, I was called into the Director of Residential Education's office to explain my side of the story. No disciplinary action resulted from the conversation.

Recently, I requested any documentation relating to my disciplinary record. Per school policy, documentation is destroyed 4 years following a students graduation. Thus, I am unable to confirm any specifics regarding the situation. And quite frankly- I forget near everything of that event- it took place near 7 years ago.

Any recommendation as to how to tackle this?

Thanks!

I took a PT cold and tested at 153 a few months ago and got 167 on August Flex after using Blueprint and 7Sage. I'd like to get into a T14 preferably with scholarship money (or even T20 with full ride). Do you think this score is high enough? I'm 35 years old, have MBA and a decade of professional experience, 3.86 undergrad GPA, non URM (Asian).

Just received my August LSAT Flex score. I had been studying since May / Early June, while working an internship at the beginning of my studies.

I come from a political background, worked in politics, and have a 3.7 GPA. My diagnostic was a 142 in April. And I began PT'ing from 159-162 all summer . . . (which is okay since I am Canadian and honestly was aiming for 160's). My final official score was a 149. Since it was my first time taking the LSAT, I signed up for score preview and cancelled that immediately!

Overall, I feel really bad about myself to say the least.. and I don't really think my family and friends understand the challenges and nuances of the test ... which is fine but overall, feeling very low and alone. Don't really know what else to say except that I still really want to go to law school, as my whole life has been working up to this point. I am hoping to get back into the swing of things, since i took the past 2 weeks as a break (I never really took breaks this summer) and hopefully since I registered as a back-up for the November the test I can get back to PT'ing in the 160's.

I usually did timed sections, did not really do as much blind review of ALL answers on PT's . . . only the ones I got wrong.

I honestly just want a 165 and my sanity back.

Any tips from those who have had retake? Maybe studying tips or a study group... I don't know.

Also, I am applying this cycle. So I am also stressed with essay writing and now studying. So, time management tips also welcome.

Thanks for listening.

So I am signed up for the oct LSAT but honestly might want to wait until November to take it. I saw on their website that you can opt for a voucher that is good for any lsats from nov 2020- april 2021. Does anyone know how to notify the LSAT to let them know that you want the voucher?

Will we get notified when our course is expiring and when we need to make the next payment? @"Juliet --Student Service--" - Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone, I was just wondering if anyone could offer some advice on what I should do. I got a 150 on the August lsat, and would really like to improve towards the low 160s, I have the option to cancel my score and don't know if I should. Also, I am thinking of either taking the November or January exam, but feel like I do not have that much time for the November as I am in school full-time right now. What do you guys think?

just got my results for the august flex and was about 3-4 points off what I needed/wanted. Really disappointing to see it because I went through a rough 4 and half months and wanted to just never look at the lsat again. I know it would probably be best to take again but like i dont even know where to start or what to do for prep until the november test. I am a senior in school now so I have other work to worry about and an internship so I cant even put all my attention on it like i did this summer. The score I got is about 4 points off the 25 percentile in my top three schools so it would be a reach, but my gpa is just under the 75th percentile so not sure if i should roll the dice or just prep and take again. helppppp

Hi there!

If you are seeking a tutor for logic games, you have come to the right place. I have yet to take the LSAT (working on other sections), however, I have conquered the games section. I can provide proof of my scores on various game sets. I can help with any type of game and I will create a custom study schedule for you based on your needs. If you are interested, please message me for more details.

I look forward to helping you reach your LG goals!

Hello all!

I have taken 5 (FLEX format) PTs (PT 1-5), I have not taken any recent PTs or seen LR questions from recent PTs. My average was 160 but I have seen some of the questions on these exams except for RC section.

My goal score is 165+

I am very comfortable with LG (0 ~ -2 timed but am taking a big hit in RC -12+ timed and -7~ -8 blind review.

LR is okay. (-4 ~ -8 timed). I know I have most to be gained from studying RC since my score is so low and that is precisely what I am doing. After some studying my timed have gone down from -14ish to -9 ~ -11, my BR score has improved as well, -2 ~ -5

The reason I feel rushed to take the Nov is because I don't feel comfortable taking 5-section exam in general even though I am signed up for Jan LSAT.

To be honest I just want to take November because I don't think there will be anymore 3-section exams. I figured, if I don't hit the goal score in Nov, I can study for another 6 months and prepare for the 5-section exam.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated! And, good luck to those taking the exam soon!

I am going to take the LSAT this October and January, but I have one concern. The priority deadline of the school I want to apply for is until February 1st, and the results of the January test are likely to come out around February 7th. The school said that the January exam is also accepted, but is there a big disadvantage?
