And this from DK after contacting LSAC after their tweet about the weather: "They replied, but only to say "no comment." Which of course could mean anything. Since score release is by automatic program, anything remains possible. Which is so messed …

@Suesuesue said: Ummmm I think it almost might be a giving up hope time. Per LSAC twitter, "Due to the beastly weather from this nasty winter storm in the east, LSAC’s offices are closing at 3:30 pm today. If you are affected by bad weath…

3.93, I am sure you know, is a very high GPA . Unless you think your LSAT is below the medians or 25th percentile of the schools you want to get into, I am not sure that the trade-off of time, money and anguish of taking another class is worth a GP…

@sillllyxo said: Curious on what people think. My opinion is no since the average age is somewhere like 24-25 (or so I read somewhere) - however for those going at 26 you presumably won't graduate until 29-30 - could those "big law" jobs …

I experienced the same kind of dip last week. I recovered by just doing timed sections - one at a time - to gain the confidence again by acing those. I concur with those above: it is a mental thing.

@Canadian said: I just wanted to rave a little bit cause I'm pumped. So i did the full core curriculum, then just wrote my first practice LSAT. My cold diagnostic back in May I got a 142. On this test I got a 161 before BR and a 165 after BR. …

I've spoken to several t14 law schools about cancellations - as I have cancelled one - and none of them cared. They were like "whatever" about it. Although, the ideal is to take the test once and have one great score.

Read for structure, not details. Don't get bogged down in the details. If you go back over a passage and highlight the exact sections, sentence(s) or phrase(s) in which an answer was to be found, I think you will see it is usually only a small por…

@"Kings Never Die" said: @nevadacity37 Thanks once again for your helps : ) I'm planning to sit on Dec. exam and was debating whether to submit the rest of the application before the LSAT score comes out or submit all together on the day I rec…

@"Mitchell-1" said: Also, a follow up question as I had a similar issue. Are you printing it in black and white or color? When I printed mine b&w I had a pretty worrying shadow covering half my face, but printing in color fixed that or mad…

@username said: A darker than normal shade of foundation on the corresponding half of your face should fix that right up. This is hilarious! Thanks for the laugh, I needed it.

@"Kings Never Die" said: @nevadacity37 Thank you very much for such detailed explanations! : ) May I ask you one quick question? Assuming that you already finished writing essays, collected recommednations and filled everything in the applicat…

@nathanieljschwartz said: So iv done hundreds upon hundreds of LR questions and i still dont have an answer for this. What does LSAC consider acceptable outside knowledge. What can i assume? Your question has highlighted to myself that I hav…

To probably your frustration, "both" is the most accurate answer. Until a law school has all the components of your application, it isn't going to be processed and reviewed. When an application is "complete", that means you need to have completed:…

While I concur with the idea of basically "shopping" your potential recommenders to see which one is best, I believe I conversation I had yesterday with an Admissions Dean at a T8 school might be relevant here. I'll call this Dean, Dean "X". I had…

I attended a law school forum that had the Admissions Deans from all of the top 14 schools. The general sentiment among those deans was close to what Alex has been saying. The only point I make here is a small one that was shared at that forum. T…

It might be advisable to contact the schools you are interested in and ask them directly. Should your heritage not be considered to qualify as a URM, from what you describe of your background, you do offer many diversity aspects to law schools. As…

Thank you everyone; I appreciate your insights

@username said: @nevadacity37 You got your Trainer for $35.... I need to get a refund... It was "used" but essentially brand new; I paid $35 for it. I could have gotten a used copy, for less, but you really should do the drills to get the m…

@ McNeeleyt I offer some sincere observations... I am far from rich, in fact I am poor. However, there are some things you can do that are much more productive than festering about relative financial positions to everyone else out there in the wo…

You can definitely do it, albeit with some pretty diligent and honest analysis of where and how you are going wrong. I started at a 141.... now I am in the 168-170 range very consistently. If I can, anyone can, as I am not gifted with the LSAT li…

@jackigoe said: Thank you @nevadacity37 and @"Alex Divine". I am just trying to balance the potential hit to my GPA with the benefits of receiving a better letter. Appreciate the advice! No problem. It is wise to make such consideratio…

Any grade you receive for a course that you take prior to receiving your first bachelor degree will be counted. As to how much one course will matter to an admissions officer, I should think minimally at best. The knowledge you gain and the exposu…

@amw26 said: @nevadacity37 Thanks for your response! Your second point about not marathon studying... I am definitely guilty of that. I'm registered for the Sept LSAT, do you have any suggestions on how I should continue studying rather than m…

@sweetalison007 - a story for comfort. I have 8 failing grades on my transcripts from a very unsuccessful first attempt in college over a decade ago (here in the US). While I subsequently went to one of the top universities in the United States th…

Seems to me whether the test is "harder" or "easier" matters very little, as the curve will compensate for the former or the latter. I would just concentrate on what you can control, which is your prepping. As those above stated, recent prep tests…
