This has definitely been "asked and answered," as it were, but I just wanted to say I think it's awesome that you seem so excited about this topic, and I'm certain that will come across in Option A. I think it's always the best policy to go for hone…

@andrewpete93 I really like the free time idea! Good luck out there
-
I did a top ten list too (I was accepted ED, so I like to think it helped!), and I listed the best meals I've ever had with a little blurb about where I was/what I was doing during them. It's not that I think your ideas are too goofy, but if memory …

+1 to all of @"Rigid Designator" 's post! After I wrote a draft that made me happy, I sort of reverse-outlined the piece to make sure it flowed, and really cut it down to like two main points I wanted to convey. If you have anything that doesn't fur…

I added mostly things that seemed "impressive" and then peppered in a couple of things that made me seem fun and cool, like DJing for our radio station during college or running the Outing Club. Ended up sticking to one page for sure. It can definit…

I work in real estate law right now, which isn't the #dream, but is pretty interesting nonetheless. If I stripped away all barriers/strands of self-doubt, I'd say my ultimate goal is to work in the Civil Rights Division of the Dept. of Justice. Or, …
-
I ended up doing a header with my full name to the left, my LSAC # in the center, and then a brief title, like "Top Ten" or whatever your prompt is, on the right.

Hey, I'm in the same boat with living at home and studying and even feeling immense pressure to apply this cycle. Even got a 163, except for some reason I bombed LG (haven't had the heart to do a full review yet). I'm planning on studying, retaking …

I have been cool and collected for the past month until about half an hour ago and now I can't think about anything else. Good luck friends!
-
I'm no expert, but this sounds like a dope essay! Something I've been struggling with during applications as a ~young woman~ is worrying about whether I am coming across as soft, overly feminine, not serious enough. And then I get mad at myself for …

I've always viewed the personal section as a way to put in something sort of fun that wouldn't come across anywhere else on your application. I mention that I bake bread and am a certified Wilderness First Responder. @Charlesroy100, where you have …

I would never have thought to look for videos. This is great advice! And yeah, maybe being very specific with myself about what exactly I want will be a good place to start. Thanks!

@tringo335 let's make it happen!!
-
I want to make sure everyone is actually able to exercise their right to vote! Y'all are awesome keep up the good fight
-
@ez92soundef My goal as well, friend. It feels extra prescient right now. I've always been interested in the law because details are very important to me, and I love research. I grew up with this indelible sense of fairness, and I'm especially inte…

@"Paul Caint" That was a really helpful observation, and one I've been struggling to explain myself. Thanks for putting it in words!
-
This makes total sense! And that's helpful. It's not that I can't make the inferences from each "new" rule, I just get all jumbled up when figuring out how/where to jump in. I'll give this a try, thanks!
-
Hi! Sorry to hear about your frustrations, but it's awesome that you're consistently improving in LG/LR! I've been having a tough time with RC recently as well. Something that has been pretty helpful so far is learning to identify the different typ…

@"Cant Get Right" @"Maddie Distasio" Thank you both so much! I'll try both of your ways, and nailing down a go-to strategy really does seem like the way to go. BTW, 7sage comment boards =
-
@"Alex Divine" wow! thank you for the suggestion, that seems to make sense.
-
Something that tends to work for me is asking myself why I really want to study law. If I think about all the lofty, idealistic reasons--helping people, protecting voting rights--then spending hours each day studying for a test seems like the least …
-
You guys are all so sweet! @achen013 That's a great idea! Unfortunately the department head has also since departed, and I was never a student of his. I'll keep plugging along. At the end of the day, guess it's better to focus on the things I can co…
-
@Sami Good advice! Unfortunately I went to a tiny college and we didn't have TAs in the humanities. @"Alex Divine" I actually found him on linkedin and tried messaging him there too, to no avail, which is why I tried contacting his colleague for per…
-
Thank you everyone for the suggestions! It seems like the best bet is just not to risk seeming deceptive. Makes sense!
-
That's what I figured, @goingfor99th. Thanks for the input!

This is an awesome thread. Fellow History degree-holder here; hi! I think it's important to consider that people can find a reason to be negative about any career path. While it's definitely smart to be realistic and to create opportunities for you…
-
I'm interested as well! I think I'm sort of in the same boat as @jkatz1488 in terms of commitment because I definitely still need to drill my fundamentals (but I'm almost through the CC, woohoo!) but Sundays 7pm EST work for me as well!
-
Hey @achen013 ! I'm also new, and operating on the same loose schedule of Sept/Dec (but then again, we'll see). I just wanted to let you know---I've only been working on 7sage CC since April 3, and while I've only taken one cold diagnostic and no ot…

@JustDoIt @Mellow_Z thank you both so much, incredibly helpful!

@dennisgerrard @AllezAllez21 thank you both so so much!
