@"David.Busis" For the U.T. Q&A: I feel like providing information to admissions offers is a delicate balance between "well-rounded" and "too much" whereby, in ones attempt to be as explanatory as possible, a conflict between brevity and address…
If there is a conflict, and you cant do both, what would show better for the purposes of an application:
(1) Applying early (Sept/October) with a decent application package, or (2) applying ED a little later (Nov/Dec) once you've had time to visit …
So I cant speak with certainty but let me provide you with a parallel. When you send a letter through the post office and the post office sends it on its way to its destination, the post office's job is "complete". Now that doesnt mean your letter h…
I am in a eerily similar situation... Having gone to the LSAC forum and personally asked the school in question about this, it seems that the appropriate step is CERTAINLY write something NEW but also, let them know what you have been up to. What im…
What stands out to me is LR because there are 2 of them and its about a (-9 to -10) average. My recommendation would be to make sure you are understanding the complexities of each question type. What makes right answers right and wrong answers wrong…
Dont panic. If Duke is really your top choice, let them know. If you were applying to Duke as a safety, they will probably know because your app may not have been as strong as someone gunning for Duke as their top choice.
Yes probably yield protect. In the hypothetical world where that holds true (and I assert it probably does). Admissions @ Duke probably thinks you will accept at HYS instead.
Everyone has their unique situations/circumstances and I applaud you for analyzing where you wish you apply given your career goals. I think you have great odds of success at many schools as a "reverse splitter".
To answer your first question: You …
First--Dont stress! Unfortunately, LSAC is allowed to do this and it sucks... calling them is unlikely to yield results but unlikely doesnt mean impossible so might as well give it a shot!
Second, if that doesnt work, think about what an investment…
I would never recommend that you not abide by the rules of the test center but having taken the test multiple times both bring my phone and not, I can attest to the experience of either:
Scenario 1) Not taking the phone: Write down on a piece of pa…
Had something similar happen. Was out of school for four years so chose a professor meeting the following criteria: (i) got an "A" grade in their class and (ii) had a small class size (increases the likelihood they remember you)
Also it helps to se…

Ah... you must be law school bound because your analytical reasoning is on point, haha! First of all, why are you up at 3am? Are you suffering from late night LSAT blues like me?!
I’m in Hawaii so te…

If everyone does bad on this logic game section, is LSAC going to curve our scores? I’m confuse.
They could but it would probably only be a point or two. (e.g. -11 or -12 for 170) instead of the typical -10

I had only one LG section. I usually get -4 but I think I only got 10 to 11 questions right this time. The LR sections seem a lot easier and RC was just as expected. You guys think it’s worth canceling?
If you think you…

How’d you know it was real - was that the only LG section you had? > @"Anonymouse-1" said:
Can confirm. The (Cat/Dog), (Flowers) and (7 display circular) LG section was the hardest I have ever taken. I walked o…

Good luck all!! Happy hunger games! I’m not offering myself as tribute
This seemingly harmless comment turned out to be prophetic... this truly was the hunger GAMES
Seems to be a common issue. We will have a lot more consensus from others, Im sure, when people return from their testing center to talk about this awful LG section.
Can confirm. The (Cat/Dog), (Flowers) and (7 display circular) LG section was the hardest I have ever taken. I walked out after this section. There is only supposed to be one crazy game per newer LSAT and this one felt like there were 2.5....
Cance…
Thanks for the tips today @"David.Busis". These tips were particularly helpful as I am in the very predicament that was discussed during the seminar.
For those who may have missed it. Letters of Continued Interest (LOCIs) should come in at various …
