Hey @Sammie215! Ahh, that sounds like a really tough decision. I ended up deciding on Michigan. A lot of people have asked me since what tipped the scales, and I honestly don't know. Mostly my gut feeling probably, that Michigan was a better fit for…

Thank you to EVERYONE @"Leah M B" @tylerdschreur10 @"Seeking Perfection" @Redentore3337 @FixedDice @"Paul Caint" @westcoastbestcoast @LSATcantwin @Sammie215 who has written for their honest opinions!! (And @lsatplaylist the answer is yes, but as a …

Just things that made an impact on me, events that I vividly remember. Moments that meant a lot. That sort of thing
-
I did my Top 10 Life Experiences and I think it really helped my app bc it showed a lot of different sides of me that the app did not show!
-
Amazing!
-
Hey @ten_malone ... It's hard to put an exact number on it, because I was working at the same time. But per day, probably 2-4. And two tests a week or so for a while. I would probably say it came out to 20 or so hours a week.
-
I'd be happy to take a look, if you want to DM me!

Same as @LSATcantwin. I started in June 2016 at 156, and scored a 174 in Sept 2017. I started seeing 170s in practice tests in April 2017, though. So, about 10 months. The 170+'s during practice weren't consistent though until the summer of 2017. Al…

Hi @"David.Busis" - how do we access the recording? The link didn't work for me
-
Wow, thanks to everyone for all the kind words. That is what makes 7Sage so great!! @cgracia12 -- I am so sorry for the confusion, but I actually did not increase that much in 2 months. It was over a year or more. My baseline score was 156 in June …
-
@Sarah889 Thank you for clarifying, that totally makes sense, I was just pointing out how it could be interpreted. No worries
-
I'm really happy for you for getting into schools that you would rather go to, but I wonder if there's a way to be a bit more sensitive to people for whom BC might be a dream school and not a safety school? If you weren't ever planning to go anyway,…
-
It is super casual and relaxed! I would be prepared to answer questions about why you want to go to law school, what you are looking for in a law school, what challenges you anticipate and possibly future career plans (if you know or have an idea!).…
-
Sami! I don't know you, but from seeing your posts on the forum and reading this one, I know you are a super conscientious worker and you can get to your 170+ score. It is so common to under-perform on the first take. I could have written your post …
-
This is SUCH a good idea because your passion came through so much in just this post that I know it will come through in your PS! And that is what it is all about--the admissions officers reading it, getting a sense of who you are and trying to figu…
-
Hey thanks you guys. I wanted to ask here first, to see if anyone had any opinions but I think that talking to an admissions officer is my next step.
-
Super interested in the answers to this one cause I have the same GPA, score goal and school ideals! My gut says that schools will probably not tell you not to apply, and will give a generic answer about how they look at applications holistically. …

@tcookPHL said: @katekellypeterson I received that e-mail as well! Are you going to attend? I just want to see what they have to say! I'm attending! See you there?
-
Thanks for asking this question!! I'm actually super conflicted, because I really want to go to school in NYC, and would love NYU, but that's probably a reach for me. I'm not sure how much to focus on location vs. program vs. a compromise of the two…
-
So true and so helpful to take a step back to remember why we are all spending hours, days, months, in some cases years studying for this exam. My motivation comes from working in a field where I read about/write about the experience of juveniles in…
-
Thanks all, that's what I thought, but thanks for confirming!!
-
How is your LG score usually on the newer tests> It fluctuates between -0 to -4 I'd say
-
@"Alex Divine" Wellll, as it turns out, I meant to say prep test C this whole time... The reason I'm so curious is that it's one of the few tests remaining I haven't taken at all-- and I'm hoping to take the Sept exam. I have almost no new material…
-
@"Alex Divine" that certainly reassuring! Does that mean these exams are "outliers"? I just don't know how much weight to put on this one
-
If you are BRing at 180, you should not sell yourself short and aim for a 161. Aim for 170+, you have the capacity.
-
Yes... same boat! I have taken almost every single exam, and am worried because I have no way to gauge my progress. Any advice would be so appreciated.
-
@Harrison_Pav It sounds like you have some great experience working with kids, so why not build on that/do more of that/continue to do those things that interest you? I don't think you need TFA to boost your application, especially given the myriad …
-
@dantlee14 said: Yeah, this is actually super important. A lot of my friends had awful TFA experiences after college, and they were really committed to teaching and helping underserved communities going in. RT!!^ So true--It's not a matt…
-
Have you thought about what it would actually be like to be a teacher? Teach for America is definitely not something to do off the cuff, if you haven't seriously considered what you would be signing up for. If you haven't worked with kids, or this p…
