  • @Kayyyyyyy i'll happily swap with you...
  • @zmeeker91 I got the same package from Michigan! Love that real signature. My dad went there. It's pretty high up on my list of schools... maybe I'll see you there next fall!
  • these emails can be very annoying... I have a personal war going on with Arizona Summit. BUT! Do not disregard them. Once LSAC had my LSAT score in I started getting a number of emails from T14 schools waiving my application fee. I'm always happy…
  • @needmylsat180 i reject your premise. hire him as a paralegal for a year, have him take the lsat, attend harvard and return to the law firm. didn't jessica do something similar with harvey? pull him from the mail room? the risk involved is too gr…
  • also... you'll probably work till you're 85 years old given current life expectancy projections and the state of social security, etc. i'd boldly suggest you ditch the rents and join the peace corps or americorps. move to central america or centra…

  • I always joke that the lsat is a $160,000 test because you can earn up to that much in scholarships. money isn't everything, but here it helps motivate me to study more when I'm feeling bummed.
  • @dennisgerrard yes! tutors are great! i fully endorse this! @goingfor99th retaking is a tough choice. ultimately for me it was a question of resources. the cost of studying for the next two months isn't greater than the potential reward of a high…
  • this is all very useful... thanks for the suggestions! i'm gathering that the two main steps are: 1. recording and analyzing yourself for time management insights. 2. write out explanations during br. i'd also like to address the idea of a unico…
  • @uhinberg i'm sure that the process of law school will have a huge influence on where i end up working and what i specialize in, but i would be thrilled to work for the department of justice or the state department.
  • happy to admit: given my personal motivations & inspirations for becoming a lawyer today would be a perfect day for scores to be released.
  • okay... no geographic order to scores being released according to powerscore. in 2004 scores were scheduled for july 6th and released on july 4th. maybe we will get an independence day present? or maybe the russians can find the scores and releas…
  • will scores hit the east coast first? just about noon over there and no one is grey yet...
  • most recent dream: the proctor didn't call time at the end of a section. i kept working, but then the proctor started going over the questions and answers with everyone in the room. me: "what are you doing? are you giving out the answers?!" pro…
  • @LSATiscoming i'm having all sorts of dreams and trying to keep my expectations in check... i've titled this chapter of my novel: learning to live with crippling anxiety.
  • woke up this morning in a start from an lsat dream... they released our scores after only a week. weirdest thing is to not have pt81 to blind review. i keep having flashbacks to material from the test, but can't review it.

  • @akeegs92 i'd recommend pushing back a year if you feel like you aren't going to be ready for september. that anxiety might really keep you from doing well this round. also, i imagine that you'll do better in law school with an extra year of real …
  • alright... i sat for the june test. my golden bears performed perfectly. i couldn't have been happier with them. but this funny thing happened at the test. during the break the person sitting behind me asked if he could borrow my sharpener. "of…
  • @Mellow_Z i'm applying for fall of 2018... everyone else? i'm really hoping that in my first class of year 1 someone sees my palomino golden bear and walks up to say, "so you're the jerk who couldn't stand for the noricas."
  • @"Alex Divine" can we start a thread on the best designer jeans to wear while taking the lsat? i'm a fan of apc, rogue territory, and naked & famous...
  • @"Cant Get Right" blind review is no longer my best friend. blind review is my god.
  • @asaunders2010 just remember no hats or hoods on your head during the test... per lsac: "hats/hoods (except religious apparel) may not be worn on the head"
  • @RafaelBernard not joking. http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/eat-smart-healthier-brain#1
  • i'm going with a can of sardines...
  • a side note to everyone on this thread: i'm sitting for the lsat on monday. it's been six long months of study and preparation. you all have been my rock. whenever i've felt the creep of burnout, frustration, discouragement, or just needed a goo…
  • @ahmadkre93 i've been studying for the lsat for about six months and am taking it this monday... i've hit more than a few walls! the most effective method for improvement i've found is the blind review taught by 7Sage. it really helped me figure o…
  • @"Alex Divine" how do you think you'll take notes in law school? pen, pencil, ipad? i'm sticking with my palomino golden bear and palomino blackwing pearl all the way through...
  • @RafaelBernard we were not allowed to use the bathroom after we checked in (at least not until after the test started). but the line to check in was very similar to the line at an airport gate. everyone was in a hurry to wait. i didn't get in lin…
  • i've got a stack of lg and lr drills, but don't plan on doing them all... they are just going to be an outlet for nervous energy. otherwise my weekend will include: -taking my dogs to the dog park -running all the miles -watching "the verdict" …
  • @morganrclarke when i took the february test i showed up half an hour early. the proctors didn't start checking people in until the time listed on my admissions ticket (8:30a in february) and it took them over 45 minutes to check everyone in. once…
  • @nmk_1995 i swear to god my dog just looked me in the eye and said, "you lazy human. you better score a 173 or higher. otherwise i'm eating every new pair of shoes you buy for the next five years."
