Hi!

I'm a reapplicant and I'm thinking of sending in my apps this month.

I was just wondering if I would have to rewrite my why x essays as a reapplicant.

I've wrote a completely new PS but I'm not sure if I can write a new why essay without sounding too forced and generic.

Any opinion would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Does anyone know whether it's possible to assign an additional letter of recommendation to a school after I've already sent in the application and my file is complete? For context, the additional recommender already had uploaded his letter to LSAC, but I decided later to assign his letter to the particular school. I know LSAC's website says that they'll send an updated CAS report if they receive a letter for a recommender that you've already assigned, so I'm unclear as to whether I can actually assign a recommender after the fact...

I'd love to hear thoughts from anyone who has experience with this!

I was wondering what fellow 7 Sagers think regarding law schools having online teachings for next year. Are schools going to continue to teach classes online? If so, could one apply to more schools with the potential of not having to move as the instruction would be online? When the school then goes back to in person learning, could one transfer back to a school in their home area?

What are your thoughts?

Thank you and have a great day!

Does anyone have any tips or any recommendations on how to approach the LSAT Writing section? I don't know what to expect at all

I plan on submitting my applications this month and was just wondering if anyone knew when I could expect to get decisions back?

Because of technical difficulties and a terrible ProctorU experience on the November Flex, I decided to accept a voucher from LSAC and retake in January. This means that my score has been canceled and the cancelation will be visible to law schools. Any idea on how schools view a situation like this? Will my situation require an addendum?

I plan to apply next cycle. I took the test for the first time in August, panic registered for November, got my score (mid-160s), and then had to postpone to January due to a professional conflict. I haven't looked at a PT or logic game since score release. Ironically, I got my highest ever PT score after score release, 172, so I know I'm capable of doing better than I did on test day, especially if I grind hard over the next two months. And hopefully if they get some technical issues taken care of by then because I know for a fact some of the proctoru struggles negatively impacted my score. My GPA is decent, it's right around the current medians for most of the schools I'm interested in but I have several withdrawals on my transcript due to a medical condition that went undiagnosed virtually all of undergrad, so I know even with an addendum explaining that I've since received a diagnosis and have it under complete control, some eyebrows are understandably going to be raised. I'm hoping a high LSAT score will offset at least some of the concerns admissions committees may have. But I also know a mid-160s is at or above medians if not 75th percentiles for several schools I'm interested in. I'm also chasing money because I do NOT want to pay sticker wherever I end up going. And I think the money concern is part of why I'm hesitating because I can't get my money back at this point if I do withdraw because I was originally registered for November, I assume.

As an extra layer of fun, I work full-time in the field of law I want to eventually practice and I've just applied for two jobs that would in essence be promotions if I received them. If I received one in particular, I'd essentially need to stay in the job for 3 years to really get as much benefit as possible, financially as well as professionally. I know LSAT scores are good for a few years so I'm not worried about that at all, it's more of a question of if I get either of these jobs my plate will get much fuller because I'll either be learning a whole new sector of my field or I'll have increased responsibility within the office compared to what I have now.

So what do you guys recommend? Sticking with January and just grinding for two months? Postpone until February/later? Or just withdrawing and counting myself extremely lucky to have done as well as I did on my first shot?

Im sorry if this is a dumb question but I am working on my applications for schools and I wanted to write a Why X essay for a school I am interested in; however, I am not sure where I would submit this essay...would I send it to the school through email or attach it somewhere on the application?

Hey everyone, I'm starting to Fool Proof games to really get a better feel for these. Do you suggest I start at 1 and go to 35 that way or should I go by easiest Sequencing, In/Out, Grouping etc. and fool proof by those groups and then work my way up from easiest to hard? I feel like the first way is better but any feedback would be great. Thanks everyone!

So I tried to do my flex through proctor u yesterday and was not able to write, so they are moving it friday.

Context:

I absolutely hate proctor u. I patiently waited at my desk at 5pm, my exam was at 540pm, and ended up not being able to do my test or fixing any issues at 8. The impression from yesterdays customer service and technical support was actually horrible. This was not because of wait times but because they seemed to not have any organization, their chat people would not responded after 40mins of inactivity trying to “fix my issue” when I checked in if they were there, I was hung up on 3 times, the chat support passed me on around 4 times before being like “okay, lets actually move this dude to tech support”.

Anyways, ya end rant. I was very upset by the whole experience.

Here and I see it on Spotify too so I assume everywhere else as well.

-8 base! No love for Goya I hear though. Giving it a listen now.

Edit: -7 base... but every RC gave you a point so -8 for everyone. One more point to -9 if you had the Museum/Scholarships games set.

Edit: Closed while I go through responses. Will update if I can take on more.

I think I've responded to everyone. If I missed you please shoot me another message.

As opposed to bumping my last post, I'm making a new one as people's situations change fairly quickly with regard to this test.

Am looking to tutor 1-2 people at no cost. My only requirement is that you have finished the CC lessons (not necessarily all the problem sets), or some other course and are currently PT'ing.

I benefited a lot from just a few lessons with a couple tutors here, and would like to help someone else while hopefully refining my own approach to this test. Please take a look at my post history here and see if you think I might be able to help you. Obviously fit is important, so I want to make sure what I can offer will help you (and by extension help me!).

If interested please post in this thread then send me a DM as well... I use both to keep track of order and comms. Also please try not to flake... doing this for free here because this community is great and I've benefited from it immensely, but am also dividing my time between other platforms to try and make some $ to offset the covid related lack of teaching jobs right now.

One time sessions and ongoing arrangement are both fine. We can start as soon as today! Will maintain this post with pertinent updates.

Need a study group to keep accountability, I am currently available every day during the morning and afternoon

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to how law school admissions view GPA's as they approach the schools median. For example, if a schools median is a 3.8 and I have a 3.75, am I placed in the same "below-median" category as the student with 3.5? To what extent does the marginal .05 GPA matter?

Thanks

Hi all,

I recently sat for the Nov LSAT. I put in my ear buds, took a deep breath even did some meditation right before the test. But when I started I feel like I could hear my heart pounding through my earbuds. In the beginning of the LR the first question felt like a blurr but I was able to come back after and I felt okay and got the correct AC because I calmed down. But then 3-4 questions my brain just couldn't focus on the content because of the nerves.

Typically, after drilling so many games. I've gotten to the point where I get -0 --2 on games on PTs but this time I just couldn't figure out the second game completely and I think I might have underperformed in games because of it.

To everyone that can stay calm and relaxed during the real LSAT, how did you get to this point and what are some of your tips?

I don't understand why the answer to this is not D. It says in the prompt that insectivorous plants can survive in soils that are too low in minerals for non-insectivorous plants. Is the issue the word "different"? Insectivorous can survive in at least 1 more environment, (low in soil minerals) than non-insectivorous. I see why E is the answer but I want to know the reason for eliminating D.

Hey guys,

So like most of you, I just did the Nov flex and I have to say.... LG killed me. I usually score really well on LG so that left me feeling confident that I will have to take the Jan lsat to get my goal score.

Is there anyone who wants to make a study group, or knows of any study groups on discord or etc where we can help each other?

THANK YOU in advance :)

Hi all,

Lots of schools offer public interest scholarships. I would like to do public interest work after law school, but I don't have a lot of a lot of experience in anything that falls under the vague umbrella of public interest. Could someone elaborate on how they added more public interest experience to their resume if they were in a similar position? Any and all advice is appreciated!

If you know, you know. I just want to say: fuck this game. I will go back to crying now.

I recently subscribed and mostly see political articles.

Any other reading materials besides Biden, Trump, and Coronavrius?

How do you guys determine which games you're going to fool proof? Use the sets from my most recent PTs? Or sort by type? Something else?

Hi 7Sagers, due to ProctorU issues, I wasn't able to even start my Nov Flex today (Wednesday). I spoke to around 8 ProctorU and LSAC agents since my scheduled time regarding this, and I am currently awaiting approval to take a rescheduled Flex on Friday. LSAC said that I'd probably get an approval and that, if so, they'd email me by tomorrow afternoon. However, I am worried that another technical disaster would happen to me on my device even if I retake on Friday. Yesterday, I did a thorough system check with a technician for my test, and I was told that my device was all set. Yet that ended up not being the case today. So, would there be anyone in or near Toronto who has successfully completed their November LSAT Flex and would be willing to lend me the device that they used during that test? I would really appreciate it if I could please borrow your device sometime tomorrow. In return, I will buy you food or maybe a gift card, whichever you feel is appropriate! Thank you so much for considering! :)

I wanted to share a strategy that helped my RC go from an average of -7 to -9 down to -2 to -4.

Firstly, you will need to allocate around two pieces of your scrap paper to reading comprehension.

The idea is to make a pretty detailed outline of the passage. Number individual areas with their paragraph number in the passage. Importantly, make notes for almost every new idea introduced (of course you can skip some obvious things at your own discretion but do not overdo this) and add in your own inferences as well.

This is a lengthy process that takes around 4-5 minutes on average. However, it makes answering the questions much faster and easier; so you will likely end up saving time.

This may sound rather obvious but it really helped me and hopefully it will help you too if you decide to try it! Good luck with your studies!

Feeling quiet overwhelmed. I am preparing for the January and Feb LSAT and I cannot for the life of me understand exisential quantifiers and sections after that. I feel like I can't move on without understanding those sections but time is also dwindling down. Should I skip this section for now and work on the LG and RC portion of my syllabus and then revisit?

Its driving me crazy. how do i register for the score preview? Where do i go to pay for it/purchase it? Lsac site is useless. i just got done with my november flex
