  • To be a lawyer can be a heavy burden. If you think about it, one doesn't go to a lawyer for the usual "check-up" usually it's when something drastic or life threatening/changing is occurring. Usually it's at the lowest points of peoples lives, depen…
  • A little late to the post... But a speech by him that I listen to constantly is "Unfulfilled Dreams" by MLK. You can find it on youtube or spotify. Hope it gives you or anyone else motivation.
  • I have read in Asha's posts that those that lie about receiving help is also negatively frowned upon. To what degree I forget but you can dig more on her blogs to see. She wrote that they actually research into whether or not you have received help…
  • Just My tip for these I have found that though they are not that important for knowing the core arguments in LR. For RC I have found them to be very important in deducing what the authors stances on a particular issue are. When you sees this type o…
  • Your school's prestige isn't seriously taken into account.You can look at great schools like Yale which displays the schools that have been admitted this year. There are a handful of state schools there and I am sure they are still great schools. W…
  • I think what matters is how you (your applications) compares to the avg application of your cohort. Being that you are of Hispanic descent rather than believing that if you do or do not fall into the URM category, you won't or will get a "boost" I …
  • @AJordanMD There used to be a video that Kaplan put up that had Admission officers from Harvard, NYU,Virginia ect. They all talked about how they analysed applicants applications. I'm trying to look for it again but it seems like they took it down.…
  • My answer is going to be a little bit short but how I approach things is by doing it the long way. I would understand if you are crunched on time but for me i believe learning the concepts and reasoning behind this test takes time.The ideas will b…
  • I tend to watch videos of Maya Angelou and others. So I often say to myself and as she say's... "nothing human can be alien to me" Why should this test be any different? This test is hard and it's meant to be this way. So, I will take each quest…
  • *Video link bellow I think it really comes down to the form and structure. As everyone has said above and given examples of this. Valid arguments have a logical structure, the form of the argument logically follows from the information given. With…
  • Yea, I would agree to everything above but at the end of the day like Alex says just focus on how far you can go on the LSAT. My evidence is very anecdotal but I have a friend (who is a URM) who graduated from Berkeley with a 3.8 when she calculated…
  • Yea, maybe just try and break them down in BR. When I don't understand an AC i just take the AC apart word for word. If I don't know what phenomena means i look it up and if i don't understand what they mean by properties then I try and understand h…
  • So I am going through the flaw sections in the CC and I find it best to take this section slow because knowing the flaws in terms of their theory and what they really mean, and also why they are wrong is important to understand. When you really take…
  • Belief in one's self is everything. Keep trying and don't give up. Everyone here in most cases are or have gone through what you are going through. But you can do this. Don't focus too much on the destination but on the journey. What's important is …
  • I average about 5 or more hours a day. At most 7 a day after that i do feel mentally tired and fuzzy and usually do an hour or two less the next day. I use an app to keep track of my time and it graphs me how much time I have done for the week, mont…
  • Count me in!
  • @achen013 Thank you so much for the detailed response. lol I am going to dissect and analyze each part of your suggestions and incorporate them into my line of thinking in RC passages. After reading this you convinced me to buy the LSAT Trainer to …
  • You can find similar information and maybe talking to lawyers within the field. I have talked to a legal recruiter to reinforce this thought that I have being that "names of school and rank do matter" but as those stated above it depends on your car…
  • @"beth.flanders" Thank you so much Beth for the explanation. No I know how to read such a statement. I didn't know that there was quite a distinction with some and many. I just treated them as equal when seeing them. Many- 2-3 Some- at least o…
  • No this is perfect! Thank you! I think through more practice I will naturally be able to read statements like this an infer the meaning behind it.
