Hello admin, please delete this post. I’m so sorry about the inconvenience!
Hi all,
I was hoping someone might be able to help me with two things here:
[Exposure to heavy metals (correlated with heavy metal poisoning resistance)] presumably causes/correlated with [resistance to antibiotics].
Is that part about resistance to heavy metal poisoning just fluff in cases like this (i.e. does the implied correlation not matter)? I've just never seen it before and was curious what the theory is here.
Thanks!

I was retaking a 171 I got on the June, 2018 LSAT for better scholarship opportunities and also to at least meet LSAT median at HYS. I was telling myself that I’d stop retaking if I meet 173, and that is the score I got!
I’d like to thank 7Sage, and also personally JY because attending JY’s BR sessions for PT85 (September 2018 exam) was really helpful to me.
I went by the username “TP” by the way. Haha.
For the November exam, I went -1 on RC and -3 combined on LR.
I actually went -2 on RC and -4 combined LR when I took the September exam as a PT the week before the November exam.
I really think that attending JY’s BR sessions contributed to reducing the mistakes by 2. I volunteered to answer the questions as much as I could during the sessions, and that really paid off! I felt like I knew all the tricks in the books and walked in to the test center very confidently.
I highly recommend attending JY’s BR sessions (of the most recent LSAT administration) the week before your real LSAT.
Currently in middle of LG part of CC. I hear a lot of talk about foolproofing the "LG bundle". What are people on the starter package supposed to foolproof? Any advice appreciated. Thanks!
Through my first 4 semesters I had a 3.0 GPA. During the last of these 4, I withdrew from 2 classes and received a D- in another. Over my final 5 semesters, I earned a 4.0. Needless to say I got my act together. Do you think I need to explain this shift in an addenda (especially the semester with two withdrawals and a D-)? I was in a rough relationship, and wasn't focused on school.
I am about 50% through the core curriculum and it has taken a lot longer than I had anticipated. I am wondering if my strategy of first trying to work out the problem before watching the video is the best use of my time... Thanks.
Hi all,
I was wondering if the honors, awards or other recognitions we list under the education section of the application have to be listed on the education section of the resume.
Thank you!
For Jan/Mar 19 tests. Anyone interested?
Thanks 7 sage! I wish i could start celebrating but i have another exam tomorrow lol.
Good day 7Sagers, First Post as all my "self-study" has gotten for me was 148, just about exactly what my PT's had been. Scoring just about 50% right across the board on all sections, but fluctuating sometimes in the 75% plus for RC/LG. The question is can I make that jump in 7 weeks and what do I need to do different? Was taking a section daily timed at lunch and reviewing at night. My schools is a night school, "special student" requires me to get 50th percentile on top of some CLEP tests I already crushed.
I finished a Canadian university, which gives out A+ with a GPA of 4.125/4.5. If I covert my GPA to 4.0, my GPA should be 3.6. LSAC converted my grades to 3.88.
Am I missing something? Is LSAC's GPA out 4.3? Did I convert my incorrectly?
7Sage has been wonderful. I want to stay connected to the community--read and post on discussion form, etc. Also, I'd love to keep watching LG videos, and look at free admissions course stuff. What do I have access to? Do I keep the same login as normal, but lose access to stuff?
Also, if I delete the app on my phone and re-upload the app later (I'm limiting internet for a while, until my apps are complete), will my account/password work? Sorry if this has been addressed before. I looked for the answer and couldn't find it. Thanks!
So, I wasn't able to take the test on November 17. Mine was moved to December 1. My score still has not been released, even though the score release date is still showing as today. Will they still be releasing scores this late in the day?
I'm asking mainly those of you who have already applied through a cycle! How did you receive your acceptance or rejection from each school? I hope most of them don't send snail mail rejection letters lol.
and then my husband decided to sign-up and study for the LSAT.
Congrats to everyone who took November. Onward and upwards!
Hello all,
Hope your studying is going or went well. I recently retook the lsat this past November and scored a 159. It was my second attempt. I got a 155 on my first attempt. I am wondering if I should retake in January or March. My target score is a 165 and I am worried about not getting into school. My cumulative GPA is a 2.93 although I have a medical explanation for my poor performance during my first two years which tanked my GPA. I am really not sure what I should do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I'm gutted. My Nov score was 7 points lower than my goal, and my top choice school doesn't accept the Jan score. If I apply this year, even my chances of admission to the other schools on my list are very slim (Jan scores come out mid-Feb). I just turned 28. If I apply next cycle, I would be entering law school at 30 years old. This may be getting personal, but I want to move on with my life, have children, etc.
Would you guys advise me to apply anyway this year, apply next year, or change trajectories altogether? Feeling low and needing input. Any perspective would help. Thanks.
Hello,
So I just received my November LSAT score back and I am pretty disappointed: I got a 165, again. I took the LSAT for the first time and scored a 165 on the June 2018 administration.
Now, part of the reason I am pretty disappointed is because I felt really good about the November test and spent months studying with 7Sage. So this has me thinking: Is it worth taking it again in the Spring (to try to increase scholarships) or should I just accept 165 is my limit? I'm guessing it would look bad to have three LSATs all with the score of 165.
For more info, I have a 3.9+ GPA. The breakdown of November's test is:
-0 LG
-2 LR Section
-7 LR (all these were Question 16 and onward. I've never done so poorly before on a LR section. I don't know what happened.)
-8 RC (again, I've never done so poorly before on a RC section..)
My normal practice test score was a 169 and BR was a 174. Should I give it another go or just accept the 165 as a good indication of my ability? Is 3 times taking the LSAT too much? Thanks for your help and congratulations to everyone who did well on the November administration!
Hello Everyone I am a URM (AA). GPA:3.3, 156 Nov Score I've used the 7sage predictors and according to that if I was to increase to a 160 Jan score(realistic case scenario) in February, my chances would not increase only by about 2% to many of the schools I'm applying . Is this worth retaking? I would love above 160s and have done it in the past on pTs but don't want to shoot myself in the foot

Hey guys, looking for some advice.
So like 6 or 7 of the schools I am looking at, both my GPA and LSAT fall smack dab in the 25% percentile for that school's class last cycle, per their respective admissions website.
Is it of any worth to apply to them? Maybe apply to couple as reach schools? I don't want to sink money into applying for them if I don't really stand a chance as 25% range for both their GPA and LSAT.
Hi, hope you guys are doing well! I am looking for a study buddy for the January LSAT. I live in Grand Rapids. If you are in Grand Rapids as well, we can meet at Starbucks or school libraries. If you are not, we can still meet online and discuss PT questions together. I scored 163 in November LSAT, and my target score is 168 or higher. If you are interested, please let me know!
When do schools usually send out fee waivers after new lsat scores come out? A few days, a few weeks? Some schools do not offer need based fee waivers, and I'm hoping with my new score I may receive a merit based one. I don't want to apply if they'll be sending some out soon
I think there is going to be that option for July 2019, but I may be wrong. Was there the option to test, see score, and then decide if you want to cancel before? What times has that been an option? When will be the next times?
So #10 on the USC Gould app says to explain the variance in multiple LSAT scores or whether or not you feel your scores shack up to your full potential. I am thinking about discussing how my test day anxiety led me to underperform on test day. And how I went to see a psychiatrist for this anxiety so I could take care of it for test day -- but obviously it wasn't to much avail if I scored a few points below my full potential on the real thing. Note: I don't get testing accommodations and never have. But I've had problems with anxiety since I was a kid.
Basically, my question is, do ya'll think it's taboo to write about my anxiety and the medical help I sought during the time I was studying/taking the LSAT (hopefully it shows my effort to remedy what was causing me to underperform)?
