  • Improve your LSAT. Your GPA sounds like it is already locked in, so there's no improving that but a high LSAT can easily outweigh a lower GPA. I was on the opposite end of the spectrum and had a high GPA and lower LSAT score but I still got into 6/1…
  • Congrats on getting it done! It is such an awesome feeling i know. You are going to experience ups and downs and anxiety until your score is released. That is just the way it is. The two weeks i had to wait for my score felt like an eternity. But j…
  • I believe in the LSAT flex introduction they tell you that if someone interrupts you then you can address them and tell them to please be quiet or to leave the room. The proctors who did the flex for me were a joke. I think they have recordings of y…
  • I think that some people can naturally think in the LSAT way better, but the test taking skills can definitely be acquired. If you have the time and money to spare, you can learn the test and score high.
  • Hey there, don't freak out I am in the same boat as you. I received a great scholarship to my hometown school in Ohio. I also received good scholarships from 4 other schools that were somewhat higher "ranked". To be honest with you, i went into the …
  • Wow first of all that is awesome, congrats! Absolutely update them on this. I would make a document regarding the Journal and a link/file to it. Just give them a brief synopsis of what it is and ask for it to be added to your file! Especially right …
  • I definitely think that taking it completely cold you don't need to panic. You will improve dramatically your next several PTs as you get through the core curriculum. I think you should gauge yourself in July and see where you are then. If you aren'…
  • This may sound really strange but try and take it at the same time of day that you typically study. A lot of people have said this helps because your brain is in that LSAT routine. Who knows if it's true. I took mine in the morning and i typically s…
  • Yes i can look at it for you!
  • I have heard many people really like the flex. I am the percent of people who it hurt. My score was significantly lower on the flex than all my standard practice tests. Pretty disappointing.
  • No. Deposit just saves your seat in that school. Not binding whatsoever. If you have multiple deposits down and make a final decision, be sure to tell the other schools immediately so they have time to fill your seat.
  • @SufficientCondition said: @TimeIsMoney said: All I can say is I am very shocked. I applied to all my schools back in September, right when apps opened. I pretty much got into the schools I thought and was waitlisted at the reaches…
  • @bryahrichson said: Overall, how accurate would you say the 7sage Law School Predictor is? Well for the most part pretty accurate. Except for this one school i have been talking about. Every school i had over an 70% chance (3) i got in. I go…
  • @"J.A. Bettig" said: If you are at their 50th LSAT percentile, I would hardly call it a safety, especially not in this cycle. Also, YP would explain the WL, but not the subsequent rejection. I apologize if this sounds mean, but this post comes…
  • Thanks guys. Makes sense. They definitely knew what i was thinking but i'm not sure how lol. Kind of an insult they didn't consider me at the beginning of the cycle. It is definitely a school that if i would have gotten a decent offer, I would have …
  • @kkole444 said: Hello I am in the same situation. I help my father out a lot with his business and live at home with another sibling that is in college (going to med school, bit of a friendly rivalry). The cooking and laundry and 35K saved a y…
  • @carolinelsat said: As someone who had to move back home and deals with working from home (teaching) with my parents and siblings being home almost 24/7, I think you can definitely make it work. It helped me a lot to set clear boundaries with …
  • @love2learn said: I think having the home network that you mention (especially staying nourished!) is well worth the commute/other issues. and it's just for 3 years. I think your parents will be helpful with your situation when they see your 1…
  • @SufficientCondition said: @TimeIsMoney said: So I have decided to go to a school that is just 20 minutes from my hometown. I made this decision apart from location mainly because i loved it on my visit and got a great scholarship.…
  • I didn't even come close to completing the core curriculum. If you have time, i would recommend it, but i think you'll figure out your strengths and weaknesses fairly soon.
  • A school's ranking does not determine your success. It's honestly sad that most people are conditioned to believe that. Not everyone is going to Harvard or Yale, nor does everyone want to. Yes, going to a T-14 would help you tremendously in getting …
  • I applied to 10 schools in September. I got an acceptance within 1 week, but didn't get another until almost 2 months later. In late October/early November I got 3 more acceptances and 4 WL. I got rejected at 2 schools both in January. I think most …
  • Take this advice if you take any. I was in your boat. Doing awful on LG and decent on LR. When i focused all my time on LG, i improved DRAMATICALLY. I went from getting -15 on average to -3/4 in just a few weeks of studying. When you feel confident …
  • So sorry to hear about your rough go...the LSAT can be so overwhelming. In my opinion, if you scored in the 150s a lot and were aiming at 160 but hit the 130s, something went very wrong and you need to cancel. It depends on where you go, but even if…
  • wow huge improvement congrats!
  • @tatas911 said: @TimeIsMoney do you think there will be an issue if there is a TV in my room? I have a TV mounted to my wall that I can't take out Yeah I would just cover it up with a blanket or show them it is unplugged. I definitely wo…
  • I took the flex. In my experience you needed to be in a clear room with nobody and no computers, cell phones, land lines, etc. You will have to pan the camera around your room and under the desk. If i recall there is only one 5 or 10 minute break. O…
  • @ColinTurner610 said: Thanks for much for the response! That makes me feel a lot better. Yes, I did do that with LG but took a break to focus on RC and it really showed with me PTs. I'm going to go back to doing LG 1-35 and really solidify my …
  • I was in a very similar boat as you. I took the flex back in july. I started seeing big improvements when i decided to master one section and that for me was logic games. I started out scoring 145-148 on my first 5 tests. I finally decided to focus …
  • Awesome!! Congrats
