You won't get any of those orders, there's a 5th section!
Lolol, yes OP, I do hope that in scoring your eighteen 180s in a row you figured out there is an experimental 5th section.
In any case, I don't really unders…
The thing is: you don't get to choose the order. You've got to be ready for battle no matter what section comes up.
But if you've scored 180 on 18 straight PTs, it really shouldn't matter. You're an LSAT god at that point.
You can absolutely score highly on this test. You got this.
First off, throw any concerns about timing out the window. You're too early in your studies to worry about time. You should instead be focused on solidifying the foundational skills and th…
Retake.
You don't necessarily have to quit your job. The September LSAT is a good 5 months away. December is a possibility.
Not sure what your financial aid package was from the T100 school, but 1 year more away from law school is probably worth g…
This is the most used guide for fool proofing:

You should wait til near the end of the CC or completely after you've completed the CC. Basically, only start once you've …
Look up their generic admissions email address and say
"I am withdrawing my application from consideration. I sincerely appreciate the offer and wish the law school all the best.

Granted Harvard still has a good clerkship rate at 15%, but Chicago is at 22%, Stanford ~27%, and Yale 30%+.
Just to clarify, the three year rolling average for Harvard clerkship prior to this year is 17.8% and Chicag…
@storm 's analysis: it' on the right track but using admissions offers is a bit off because one applicant can be admitted to all top 14 schools.
It's probably better to use the more conservative number of students who actually enroll at the schools…
180.
Both of those scores are fantastic. You've absolutely got the potential to go at least 175 if not 180.
It's going to be hard to get there within 3 months, but you're selling yourself short if you settle for less.
Guessing you're taking July,…

233 people (13 administrators) in the YLS Facebook group.
Just curious, beyond the admins, are there other current students as part of the group?
I think, regardless, that there are very very few offers remaining, especi…
Agree with @goingfor99th
It's going to be really really hard to do that in 3 months. It's possible by September if you study insanely hard and everything fits right.

Great website on early retirement and general life philosophy.
In any case, there are way easier ways to make money than the law. I think something in tech or finance is a much easier route. The earnings are simila…
Tons and tons of great advice above.
Just to reiterate: don't make this decision based on potential future hopes of law school. It's great that you're thinking about career choices, but those preferences are very likely to change during college.
T…
I'm sorry to hear this. Studying with you I know you're a great person. You've also got incredible stats/softs.
That makes me think it's one of three things:
1. You applied too late in an already crazy cycle.
2. Your writing components were off i…
Actually, the main reason I'm considering Harvard is because I want to be a pro wrestler a la David Otunga. People say the way to the WWE is steroids but I think it's through Cambridge.
There are two separate issues in this advice.
There's the consideration of whether the average student at a school like Hofstra and an average student at a school like Harvard face similar outcomes. They simply do not. One in four students at Hofst…
Rank doesn't matter but employment outcomes do. Mitchell Hamline places 57% of their grads into jobs as lawyers. That's a pretty low number. So just be aware of the risks.
Depends on the school. Definitely no for H and Y. Probably not for S.
If you've got something new to tell them then go for it.
That it's relatively late in the cycle probably makes it more acceptable.
What @PearsonSpecterLittUp wrote is very important. They really can't make you withdraw applications to schools from which you have yet to get a decision. Probably the best route is to ask for an extension. May 1 seems like a good target date, you'r…
@"Paul Caint" In fact the status checker for my interview wave just changed today. That usually means a decision within the next 3-5 days.
So overall, I'd say about a month from the time you get the interview invite (not actually interview) to a de…
@"Paul Caint" Nope. Chicago tends to do fewer, bigger waves. So they interview a bunch of people over like 3-4 weeks and then admit them all at once a few weeks after that. I suspect I'll hear in another 1-3 weeks with the next wave.
