In the last 6 months of my prep I went from scoring in the low 170’s to the middle 170’s (174 on test day, 176 on retake). You’re in the 1 question 1 point territory and so you’ll need to miss no more than 1-2 LR questions with consistent scores fr…

I don’t know your life and so what i’m about to say may be of limited use to you. I just looked at Vandy’s employment numbers for 2016 here. https://www.lstreports.com/schools/vanderbilt/sals/ The short of it, in 2016 approximately 37.5 percent of…

Not sure if it’s too late but big law at either of those schools is worse than a coin flip. If you’re set on LA and you want big law you might do better with UCLA, USC, Loyola, or another California school.

I agree with Alex Divine. The other nice thing about skipping is that is allows your brain to do a "soft reset" and get a "fresh pair of eyes" on the question when you come back to it. You'd be amazed how much question difficultly is the mind's inab…

These should be of some use to you. They're what helped me make the final push to the 175 range. http://lsatters.com/forums/topic/where-to-start-again http://lsatters.com/forums/topic/advice-on-extreme-drilling-for-top-scorers/

If you have an LSAT score below a 176, with the way the U.S. News rankings work there is never disadvantage to retaking in the context of application strength. The only real costs are time and money. You could score a 132 for your next take and Penn…

I was thinking more about value and what's that means to most people. I've come to believe that you can benefit on the whole from attending an institution where the median LSAT is a 156. But the value it provides has to be valuable for you. If you w…

I can't comment about the work expirence aspect as I'm not qualified to say, but as for another score, it won't matter what you score. You have a 170, minimum. You can thank U.S. News ranking for that. No, you're probably not really any better or wo…

I agree with In my own tutoring expirence being @Anthony_Mahmud said: I think foolproofing Logic Games and generously skipping on LR makes a 160 reasonable for anyone. Missing 26 questions gives you the freedom to miss every single difficult …

I don't mean to be negative. Just understand that what you do now can really help or hurt you for a long time to come.

Just because, I wholely agree with Alex Divine. He knows what's he's talking about here. A lot of choices about law schools are going to come down to values and marginal cost vs marginal benefit type analysis. Wherever you fall on that curve is is …

I was in your boat once. I got a 168 on June 2016 and was able to score a 174 in December of the same year. I only self studied, so the good news is that it's not impossible. (For what's it's worth my friend/study buddy had the same issue over that …

So I have some expirence with this. Hopefully what I say can be useful. My first take was 6 points below my 7Sage analytics average over 60 tests. My second take was 2 points below that average and my last take was dead average. It's difficult to re…

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but if your LSAT is below Notre Dame's median and your GPA is as well your chances of acceptance are small.

I used the complete package (the one including scholarship negotiation). The consultant and I went through all of my materials and helped me make my application stronger beyond the numbers.

I should also add that while I applied for need based aid, given my family's financial situation, it's extremely doubtful I qualified for need based aid. In fact, one of my CCN was explicitly merit only.
-
I used Spivey consulting services. I bit the bullet financially because I wanted a consultant to make my app stronger for scholarship consideration. I got BIG money at CCN. I had a 174 lsat and a 3.74 GPA. So I expected to get into CCN but I didn't …

Don't cancel: here's why. You're probably going to retake anyhow to be competitive for the lower T14. That means you'll need your third take (obviously) The highest score is what counts, trust me. I had a friend last cycle get a 167, X (cancel), …

Perhaps it's nothing, but some have speculated that the meta-reason "A" was chosen on those "super-hard" flaw questions is because test takers are unsure about what's really going on on the stimulus and, unfortunatly, use the answer choice to glean …

Hi, I thought I'd chime in. I took 66 "fresh" Prs from September of 2015 until December of 2016. And I also retook 19Pts over the same period. I took the December 2016 test and scored a 174 (1.5 points below my average dead for my last 12 tests). …

When were planning on starting law school? I'm just curious.

Hi OP, I was in the exact same boat as you were last November with two lsat score's, the higher being a 172, and questions about retaking (although my GPA was about .2 lower than yours). I retook. I got above a 175 and I got big money at CCN (whi…

Sounds like a good plan! A couple of things, to break into the 170's I'd make sure you understand causality really well. Be able to recognize it when it might be present, be able to recognize when it might actually not be present, be able to discer…

Hi, I just looked over the questions you mentioned. In my opinion, these questions and those of their ilk are challenging not because they have some sort of very subtle or arcane logic. Instead the difficulty lies in the challenge of sentence cons…

Our salesperson mistakes what is sufficient for success in sales with what is necessary for success in sales. (Confuses necessary and sufficient conditions) Basically our guy lays it out like this Succeed in sales → 3+ years epx → Strong Client Ba…

Hi there, I interviewed with them last month and was admitted. I thought the interview was pretty relaxed (I had Jeb and he was great)! The questions were resume specific but the great thing about that is that you already know all the answers. Just …

Don't go to a T3 law school over a top 50 school for 21K less in tuition, please. Go to a reputable school and just move a state over after graduation. You don't want your resume to be the butt of some hiring manager's joke.
