Damages, The Wire, Better Call Saul, The Thine Blue Line, The Jinx, and Making a Murderer. I'm about to watch the movie Presumed Innocent, but Idk if it's any good.

@solkrios I don't think there's a significant difference; it's simply that the questions in all sections are different. Personally, I thought the LG section was harder and the RC was easier than the PTs I had done. However, there's no real way to kn…

I took the LSAT in Munich, Germany and in Ankara, Turkey. Be careful about which testing center you choose (Germany was great, Turkey was horrible). Remember that tests outside of the US are undisclosed, so you won't be able to analyze your test to…

@"Nicole Hopkins" Bummer, I'll be at the one in NYC

@"Nicole Hopkins" When/where are you taking the Law Preview course? I'm also doing it!

Pretty much agree with @Pacifico. Most of what you need to know, you can learn by using this forum, TLS, and listening to free webinars with admissions consultants. Here's the TLS Spivey thread: http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f…

Absolutely. I worked with David Busis and he definitely does *not* ghost write for you. He provides you with constructive criticism and helps you write the best essay that you can. Highly recommend working with him.

Speaking of podcasts 7sagers would enjoy, if you don't know of it already, "I am the Law" is great. On each episode they interview lawyers in different areas of expertise about their everyday work. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-am-the-law/i…

Yes, yes. They're great practice. I would go through PTs mid 30s and 40s to begin. Once you've mastered the basics, move on to more recent PTs.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply and for sharing your thoughts. It's definitely given me plenty to consider
-
@"Nicole Hopkins" I would, except I'm 7 hours ahead EST time
-
Will this webinar be available to the general public or just 7sage students? I had 7sage premium for over a year, but since I took the LSAT for the last time in October, my subscription has expired. Is there any way I can listen anyway?

Count me in! Def interested

Did we settle on meeting times?

@"Nicole Hopkins" said: Except I think even Larry says to brief cases your first week but never thereafter. Yes, I think that's exactly what he said in a recent video I watched.

I would say the LSAT and GPA are the primary factors to even be considered. But given that there are quite a lot of high LSAT scorers with strong GPAs, once you've met the minimum criteria, I think things like leadership positions in student orgs, w…

I worked with David and Spivey Consulting. Now that the application cycle is over for me, I'm confident that I wouldn't be where I am without David's help. My numbers aren't that strong and I feel like it was my essays that really made the differe…

Law courses: I am also enrolled in Larry Law Law's course, but I haven't gotten very far yet. So far I feel like he's provided a lot of useful information. The other online course I know of is the "Law Student's Toolkit" on Coursera, but I started i…

Anyone headed to NYC?? Just put down my deposit for NYU! ^_^
-
Definitely interested in this, count me in!

@riveras.jonathan Woohoo, go 'Noles! I did my undergrad there and FSU is awesome. Whether you stay or transfer, I hope you enjoy the experience!

I worked with Dean Meeker from Spivey Consulting for one hour to strategize getting off a waitlist and writing a LOCI. It was an excellent experience, as he helped me prepare what to do/discuss during my visit to the school, helped me strategize for…

@"Jonathan Wang" Thanks so much, you're the best! Helped clear things up for me

@UsernameChange Thanks, I had already come across that. But there are a couple things on the spreadsheet that I don't understand (What is amortization or negative amortization? What is IBR?) and was looking for somewhere I can find that explained mo…

I took the LSAT in Germany, Turkey, and then in Kansas. The German and Turkish LSATs were indeed different from the US one, but the bigger issue for me was that it's undisclosed. I feel like when I got back to studying, I would've improved a lot mor…

Thanks for the advice, I got a one-week extension. I'm hoping that will be enough time for me to find out what the initial financial aid package is at my dream school
-
I read on TLS that some schools don't like it when you apply, get accepted, turn it down, and then re-apply the following year. I would go ahead and apply both cycles, just to see where you can get in on with your current numbers and so you can try …

Congrats, that's a great dilemma to have! I wish I was in your shoes As others have voiced, I would definitely go for the Fulbright. I have many friends who won the Fulbright (as did my mom) and from what I've been told, it's been an amazing, rewar…

Agree with @hlsat180. I don't think anyone is going to break into the T-14 in the near future.
