In my first year of law school and... so, so true. All of it. This was so helpful to reread-- thank you!
-
Following!!!! Would love an answer ASAP
-
Apparently it's not normal and there is weird stuff happening-- maybe because of rankings? I am still waiting to hear back from a school...
-
Same...

I know certain schools say specifically not to send them a newer version of your essays (you can revise and send to other schools of course). Northwestern, for example, said specifically not to send any updated version of essays...

I would say to try working at them until they make sense to you. Often it's not even the question itself, but rather some core problem that you are struggling with. Focus on that and trying to understand the concepts, principles, and patterns. Good…

Yes-- I would say to focus on how you read. It's not only about knowing what you read, it's mostly about understanding what "wasn't" said and drawing out connections/tones/etc. I like to look for a common thread throughout the passage; I like lookin…

What helped me most was taking everything super literally and really understanding how my board and rules were creating the full picture I wanted. For example, I liked tailoring the game boards to meet a more visual standard for representing all t…

I'm assuming it lowers your chances at least somewhat... They take great pride in their interviews and really use it for some evaluation piece to the application... It's really not that bad-- I only had four questions with 30 sec prep and 1:30 speak…

Nice! and with an honors- I'm impressed! was the main breakthrough figuring out the exams like you said?
-
Never mind-- I don't think I have typed answers because I'm supposedly having 4 questions in 8 minutes
-
It's only one point lower... I wouldn't cancel it
-
I just read your Law School Journal... loved it but ,ouch, that's really tough stuff! Looking forward! I have lots of questions
-
Yes. definitely worth it-- you can ask all your questions etc. to tutors in the class; also some of the classes are more advanced than others.
-
Same thing happened to me-- I feel like something was off/different about that test-- definitely thought I did way better (I did score slightly higher though than October)
-
yeah... Pretty disappointed about that...
-
I'm thinking to do that too... I'll send in my apps asap and then retake if I'm waitlisted...
-
yeah- didn't get the score I was hoping for... Now for the next agonizing decision-- to retake or not.... luckily I only have 24 hours to decide!
-
just saw my score... oh well
-
and I'm trying to send out an application asap... hate this waiting
-
@oneeyj same! I was told to try back in an hour
-
Also wondering about this: Can I have the same answer for both short term and long term?
-
First-- you won't know on test day if it's a five star question. Some people map out every conditional relationship, but often the harder PM or MBTs (especially now) use a more abstract, less mechanical logic (which is a lot harder to map out) It a…

commiserating with you-- #can'tstandthewait...
-
At first I was like that too, but when I realized that the content of the questions is interchangeable, the only pieces left are the universal, logical indicator words-- think of them as the skeleton for what you are reading. They are strong words a…
-
Yeah-- I was really stuck on that one-- by POE I thankfully chose the right answer, but it wasn't until really thinking about that question that I got what it was asking. It was an in and out game that had very restrictive rules and the stem gave a…
-
The key is understanding the main idea of the conclusion. It is clear that nothing will justify a means except an end's value This is the conclusion. The first thing I would would do is reword that based on the strong logical indicators (in th…
-
I would start thinking about testing strategy if you find your BR score in or very close to the 170s-- consider how to most efficiently get the most points you can in 35 minutes-- whether that means skipping or losing some certainty (dropping from 1…
-
What??? No standardized testing requirement! I think I should've pushed off applying to law school until all the changes settled down... Can I hope that they'll also take away the Bar exam one day
-
Thanks for writing this-- I always wanted to know what it was like! What is this option called?
