I got into NU with a Feb score. Apply with your best score. You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Seriously though--I know like

They don't care about bands. Only reported scores since that's how they compute their medians

@zacharycarpenter1 said: Do you always split your game board when there are only two options for a slot? Seems like I see JY doing that most of the time. My assumption is always "how will I split the boards" as opposed to "will I split these board…

@mantel123 said: Anyways, I'm just wondering if there are people out there who have done so on the actual test by using 7sage. Yep--Plenty of us, anyone with the title of "Sage" scored above 170 (and all of us were 7Sagers).

@"Liz L 123" said: Thanks, guys! I am leaning toward keeping the score. @stepharizona good point about retaking to get off the waitlist. That would be what, the February exam? June? I'd be very surprised to see you waitlisted. Make sure your app i…

@westcoastbestcoast said: I read on jd-underground forum that first year associates tend to be in the late 20s and firms prefer those at the age range. That's a lie. They do not PREFER "that age range." I'm 30 and start this fall. Big law gunner …
