From what I've seen, Canadian law schools aren't that receptive to splitters (ie. high LSAT, low GPA). The most a law school would consider your LSAT is for 50% of admissions, the other 50% being GPA. Some law schools are reverse-splitter friendly w…

Congrats!!! Wishing you all the best!

It took me a little over a year but I took breaks of a few months here and there so I think total study time was around 10 months. 25 PTs, fool-proofed LG 1-35. I didn't take a diagnostic but I assume it would have been in the low 150's. Final score…

Games are not my strongest section. Even after fool proofing and practicing for months I still get -2 to -4 but I've found what works for me is: Doing the first question as I write out the rules Split if possible/write out any inferences that beco…

Congrats from another 169'er! Best possible score you can get. Way more fun than a 170.

@floressanchezg said: I'm assuming you're in the US, I'm on the same boat, however, if it is less than154 I would cancel. I don't know how it is in the US, but here in Canada they get the average of your LSAT scores and anything less than a 15…

I worked full time while studying for the LSAT so I have never experienced full-time studying for this test, but I don't think I'd be able to do it. I actually made the most gains when I scaled back and just focused on strategy and timing. I think i…

I would have loved to know that 7Sage is a tool, and that the core-curriculum makes up maybe 15% of your studying. The rest is from practice tests, blind review, learning from your mistakes, fine-tuning your strategy and repeat. I would also have lo…

You'll need to really do some soul-searching and find out if you want to be a lawyer or not. I had the same dilemma in 2015. I started studying for the LSAT for a few months then stopped as I was getting nowhere and then got promoted in my Accountin…

If you're looking into public interest work, I would go with the option that minimizes the amount of debt you take on. From my understanding, prestige isn't as big of a factor for public interest compared to something like big law.

Is timing an issue at all? I found ,in addition to my blind review, that working on skipping strategies and timing really paid off. It took awhile to hone my instincts on when to cut losses and move on. I also drilled hard LR questions I was weak on…

@BinghamtonDave, keep your chin up and have faith. I know the waiting sucks but just like the LSAT, you gotta believe that things will fall into place. Sending out positive vibes to you!
-
Lol we should make a 7Sage study group for 1L!
-
I would totally retake. I also got a 169 but that was on the upper end of my PTs and my second take. I found the second time around I was much less nervous and things just clicked better. I know it sucks, but it's another three months of studying.

Headed to the University of British Columbia in Canada - my target school! I'll be in the same class as @"Michael.Cinco"! Any other UBC/Canadian folks here?
-
If you can afford it, go with Ultimate +. The access to all the PTs is invaluable.
-
Congratulations!!!

I'll be turning 29 in my 1L starting this fall! Like @"Leah M B" , I decided to switch careers for something that fits my skill set and interests. I hope my past experience will be an asset when it comes to OCIs and looking for work. If anything, it…

Big ink and the paper industry. I was doing Sping cleaning and probably recycled a small forest. Will take the bus for the next five years to make up for it (and to save $$$).

Congrats! That's amazing!

I found doing dishes right after you finish eating helps so that it doesn't just lie in the sink for days. I also scheduled chores into my calendar along with exercise, social and relaxation time. It's important that you have a life outside of work …

Congratulations on your success and best of luck in law school!

Congratulations! Love reading success stories.

I assume a 173 LSAT would still be competitive for Chicago even without having had cancer...

I thought one LR was definitely harder and the other easier. RC was about the same and LG was slightly harder. Then again, my intuition could be way off. I thought I did better than I did on November's test.

@Andybrew said: @TeaLover said: Anyone feel this LG was so hard? I have been consistently getting -0 or -1 on LG for the past 20 PTs but I think for the LG today I might get -3 or even worse. With that being said, I do think the LR…

@futurelawstudent said: @Guillaume : Wow! I had no idea. That privatization one was gnarly. What did you think of the earlier RC section? I thought it was alright, quite representative of the other PT's RC sections.
-
@futurelawstudent said: @ExcludedMiddle Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it. And @Guillaume : Yeah, same RC. I didn't realize it was experimental, yep, privatization. So, does that mean they don't count it 'at all?' That is so weird. Thanks…
