Hi! I was waitlisted by my first choice school:/I applied early decision, Ive already toured the campus, sat in a class and met with the Dean of Students so Im not sure as to what more I can do besides sending in a LOCI, does anyone have any advice or tips on being waitlisted? TYA!!!!!!!!

Im working my way through PTing the 60s. My question is whether or not the 70s LR is much different from the 60s LR? Just curious.

I want to apply now, but I don’t have my December scores yet. Do I have to call each school individually and tell them to hold off until my December scores are available? And do they automatically get the scores once LSAC releases them ?

Can someone explain to me how A is right. I understood the argument to be a generalization because it goes from talking about lowering dairy food intake to avoid heart diseases to talking about having good health in general

I understand why A is right, but is my way of thinking about the stimulas wrong?

Hi everyone,

I am currently trying to decide whether to take the February 2018 LSAT or the June 2018 LSAT. Starting my studies, I knew I wanted to get at least a 173. So, when I started studying in June of 2017 and got a 153, I was a little worried. However, I took a course and finished with a 165 in September of 2017. I had to take basically a semester off from studying, and have just been able to get back into it since school ended for winter break. My strategy now is to take around 3 tests a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). I've been able to take four tests so far, and I've gotten a 166, 167, 170, and 174 in that order. Since I have improved a lot in a short period, I was thinking that it would be okay to take the February LSAT so long as I continue to consistently score in 170s, preferably above 172. My only concern is that I improved by 9 points basically in a week and a half, and I guess it hasn't soaked in yet that I'm in my desired range. It would make me feel a lot better if I consistently scored in my target range for a long time. However, it would be really nice to get the LSAT out of the way, and I am worried that I will run out of practice tests to take between now and June.

What do you think?

When will the app be updated for the iPhone X?

Hello all,

Would anyone be willing to give an addendum that I've drafted a quick read through? I chose to write one briefly explaining my age as it is well below the average age of those entering law school. I'm not sure if an "addendum trade" is a thing but I'd be happy to take a look at someone else's in exchange for their thoughts on mine.

Thanks!

I am getting ready to write my personal statement and I'm considering touching on the fact that I worked while on the wrong visa (illegally) while abroad for years (and years). I was then detained and deported (deported light, not technically deported but visa cancelled, kicked out of the country and only the most minimum restrictions on returning). This is after my passport was withheld from me for a month while the company was being investigated. In the end, the company negotiated some 'fines' and I really got the worst of it, largely because my visa had expired during the period it was being held by the police. I was able to return shortly thereafter.

My question is whether or not my willful acceptance of working in that legal grey, although admittedly a dark grey, area should preclude me from addressing the topic?

I've weaved my disability into my personal statement pretty well, but I just wanted to know if I should write a diversity statement as well. I'm not sure what I could discuss that isn't already included in my PS.

What's going to give me the best chance of standing out and getting extra funding? Thanks!

I started to enjoy the RC section when I started to enjoy learning from it. And outside knowledge definitely helps when it comes to RC.

I used to think I know about art, but by reading the art LSAT passages, I learned that I have absolutely no idea about art history! My go-to YouTube channel for science is CrashCourse, but I haven't been able to find a good channel for art history (Khan Academy's lessons seemed too detailed....)

Recently I found Art History - Overview Videos from Phil Hansen (21 videos).

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXVuKomahjzdNOrden8thb8HWbvJZK71w

I've been watching these videos whenever I get bored with studying in the order of Art History Timeline (yes, it's Art History For Dummies website. lol), so I thought I'd share these with you!

Let me know if there are any YouTube videos or websites that help us with art history! :)

Just a positive statement for all those having a bad day of studying. Even though it seems like you're not getting "it," you will. Rome was not built in 1 day!

To all those having a good day, utilize it and keep pushing forward. Revisit topics you feel week on. You are your biggest weakness if you do not address them!

Now lets all go score some 180s.

I just made the mistake of looking at past grey day threads. Now I feel the anxiety. How do you guys deal with waiting? Any grey day drinking games? Take a shot every time you read "grey."

Looking for some feedback on my personal statement.

I'm also willing to trade statements if you would like me to review yours. I'm a former journalist, so I have some nice writing experience and good eye for typos.

DM if you're interested.

@"Dillon A. Wright" Hey Dillon, not sure if you remember, but last time we talked I had issues accessing my notes because there were so many. I know you told me you fixed it, but I'm having the same issue. Can you please look at it for me?

If I could somehow transfer all notes into a word doc or if you have some other idea in order to clear up space so this doesn't happen anymore, let me know. I'll be honest, I take a lot of notes, it helps me study.

Thanks,

Anthony

Yale is a real long shot for me, as I'm sure it is for many of us, but I'm trying to have my application ready to go the instant I receive my December LSAT score. Just in case I pull a 175 or something :) Anyway, Yale asks for addenda describing extracurricular activity during college, including paid employment, and post-college activities. Both specify to include this info separately from a resume. Obviously a lot of that information is already included in my standard resume that I've used for other schools. Should I include my resume as is, leading to redundancies, or cut out such redundant info from my resume? Most of my significant work experience came during or since college, and I'm sure I'm not alone in this. I'm afraid cutting all this will make my resume look pretty pathetic...?

I'm currently working on my resume and had a few questions that I hope someone could answer:

My resume is currently 2 pages, is this fine? Currently the sections I have are: Education, Work Experience, Volunteer Experience and Languages.

I worked all throughout college, so should I include all of the jobs? My freshman/sophomore year I was working as a sales associate and manager at different stores, and then during my sophomore year I was able to secure an office job which I stayed in until graduating college. Should I include the sales associate and manager position?

I wrote a thesis in college, should I include a brief abstract of it?

Any rules regarding type of font, size of font and margins?

And lastly, I've read that we should include a Personal Interests section. Is this true?

Thanks guys!

Is anyone else worried about the passage of the PROSPER ACT? it these new regulations are put into effect student loans will be capped at 28500 per year. How can anyone pay their law school tuition if PROSPER passes since that number is way below even part time tuition at many law schools?

Hi everyone!

I started studying over the summer using the LSAT Trainer. While it was helpful to understand some concepts, I'm not even close to where I want to be scoring, which is 170+ for the June test. I'm especially weak on Logic Games. I'm on winter break until the end of January and I wanted to try 7Sage. How long does it take to complete the Starter or Premium course?

I applied to Duke via the priority track invite and just found out that I'm now on their priority reserve. Is this any different than their waitlist? Feeling pretty crappy right now....

I wrote a Why Duke essay, too.

Anyone else on Duke PR with PT application?

Hello everyone,

Hope you guys are enjoying your weekend! I wanted to get your thoughts on using religion/atheism on my PS.

Basically, my PS's main theme is about me overcoming my fears and how they've influenced my character and confidence, which eventually enabled me to realize my purpose to become an attorney.

One of the things I wanted to briefly write about was how denouncing my faith publicly was a big step for me, since I was being true to myself and unafraid of what my family and friends thoughts were about this.

What have you guys heard, or what are your thoughts on writing about faith/religion on PS's? Thanks in advance!

..."but not both" sequencing games. I've been practicing these after the Dec LSAT. I thought I had a good handle on them but I took way too long to diagram my possible worlds game 2 (I realized I made a mistake halfway through the question set and had to redo them).

I'm currently doing drills in Powescore's LG workbook.

I discovered that I made an error on my PS essay. Has anyone ever tried sending in a revised essay? How do schools take those kinds of requests?

Does the connection need to be VERY strong between "the experience" and "why law school"? My road to wanting to be a lawyer is long and boring/somewhat cliche. My experience living and working in San Francisco for a year and some of the things that I dealt with during that time is so much more interesting and is personal in the way that I think it should be. I have a deep connection to my PS, I cried while I was writing it, my sister cried when I read it to her, my mom cried. My goal isn't for it to be sad, they had a deeper connection with it than an admissions person would, so I don't think it's sappy. It says what I want them to know about me and describes an important time in my life, but the connection to law isn't incredibly obvious. Suggestions?

One app specifically says that they already know I want to be a lawyer, and that I really shouldn't try to convince them how serious I am about that. Others seem to want a "why law school" PS. Anybody want to read it and let me know if you can see the "why law school" connection?

Tell me if I am translating them into lawgic properly:

No x is y = x ---->/y

X is not y = x ------>/y

Are they the same or are they different?

Help! Very much appreciate.

So I’m kind of in the dark about when/how they’re supposed to send out the field test refunds for the December exam. Anyone have an idea?
