Fpr 2, the answer is almost always yes. As for the other parts of your post, I was similarly torn between a JD vs MPP vs joint degree for a long time. But for many of the reasons Alex listed, unless there is something specific that you want to do af…

I haven't looked into any of the financial aid stuff (need to actually apply first), but I'm in a very similar situation with my parents so I'd be interested if any prior applicants or people that have already applied this cycle have more info.

At this point, I think it's better to apply within the next few weeks instead of waiting until January. You don't really know that you'll do better in December, even with intense preparation - at that end of the curve, just a few mistakes can make a…

Hm, foolproofing LG alone was probably 100+ hours. 20 full PTs is another 90 hours just taking them, and then the time spent actually blind reviewing... I'd guess I spent at least 300 hours total spread out over 9ish months? Ended up with a 174 FWIW…

Would also love to do a PS/Diversity Statement swap with some people this week. Send me a DM if you're down.

I rarely eliminated all 4 ACs in any section unless I was really struggling between two choices. In LR especially, I made a big jump when I was able to more confidently and quickly choose an answer choice on that "gut instinct" you described.

@cbyrns21 said: What schools offer an in-person interview? I didn't think that was common anymore. Among the top-15, UVA requires an interview of every admitted student. I tried to compile a list (got definitive answers on most of the school…

I wouldn't worry about it too much, I was in the same boat and reconnected with my main academic recommender (my second recommendation will be my current employer) when I visited my alma mater in May; after chatting for 30 minutes over coffee, he ac…

154 diagnostic, 166 on my first take in December, 174 on my second take in June. 7sage was critical in getting me above the 170 mark; I'd used powerscore until around November 2016. Huge improvements are absolutely possible with dedicated study.

Maybe this is just me, but I didn't think it was a particularly challenging RC. Got -2 on the section on test day, which is about what I expected. But honestly, I think I just got lucky that there was no art passage (hallelujah), since I consistentl…

At the very least, it'll get you fee waivers at almost all the T-14 schools - so that could easily save you thousands of dollars come application time. There are also TFA/Americorps/Peacecorps/Military service specific scholarships that you'd be eli…

My center didn't have a clock in the room (and the proctor accidentally called an LR section 10 mins early lol) but I did have a very graphic depiction of Jesus' crucifixion directly to my left. I was unsure if that was a good or bad omen at the tim…

I'm in the camp that believes taking 5 section-PTs is not necessary. I took the LSAT twice, and neither time did I feel that stamina/endurance or focus at the end of the test were issues. You'll be wired and full of nervous energy for the full 4-5 h…

@spitzy11 said: Hi all In my timed PTs, I always tank the first LR section... a VERY poor performance. I think this can be attributed to my brain not being warmed up? As a solution, would it make sense to take a timed LR section prior to…

I always read the full stimulus, underline/bracket the main conclusion (I write the letter "C" next to it), then go into the answer choices. Make sure you read every answer choice, too. Way too many trap answers are placed right before the real answ…

@"surfy surf" said: What's your modified version of the foolproof method? Please share @dantlee14 Hey Surfy, sure thing - below is what I wrote to a few people who asked. Thanks a ton! I'd be happy to share. It's not that different from the…

@CinnamonTea said: Hi @"Alex Divine" , this is the common advice I have heard, but I was wondering if there were any studies/data out there to prove this? Would it change if someone was in the 25th/50th/75th percentiles (for instance, someone in…

I agree with pretty much everyone in this thread. While you should make an effort to do every LG the LSAT has released and you have access to, I almost completely ignored anything before PT50 when it came to LR and RC. Not only do newer LSAT tests h…

Does anyone STILL not have their score... or does LSAC just hate me

how was I in the last batch of scores in December, and apparently I'm also in the last batch this time around?? BS, the game is rigged

AT LONG LAST

Are they seriously fucking going to make us wait another day? I've been so unproductive at work I may as well have played hookie and just gotten drunk instead.

@"mhyana.a" said: Will the scores be posted before 5pm est? Is that the general rule? They're usually released between 4:20PM and 5PM EST, but if you're in a later wave, you may not receive your score until later in the evening.
