Hey! Cornell's interview was very laid-back. There are six or so questions, half written and half video-recorded. Like most interviews, you're likely to get a question about why you want to go to Cornell and why Ithaca. There's really no way to prep…

Duke, Notre Dame, BC, UVA, Vandy, UT, Emory.
Ehhh, Texas in general, yes. UT, no. I went to UT for undergrad. Liberal campus in a liberal city!
Interview with WashU:
I received the interview request a couple hours after I submitted my app. An admissions officer interviewed me via Skype. She was super friendly and didn't try to trip me up at all. A few questions I remember:
"Tell me about…
I don't think they have a specific score range for fee waivers. My score on file isn't impressive, and I received one last month. My friends with a 172+ did not receive one.
Here's to hoping my retake tomorrow changes that
@"Accounts Playable" I'm not sure- I haven't applied for need based waivers on LSAC. Columbia explicitly mentioned my LSAT score, so I thought they were trolling. So strange.

(these don't give out fee waivers at all)
Hey David! I actually did receive a fee waiver from Columbia. I don't have a stellar LSAT on file, which made me question why I received one.
@KevinSage I received the fee waiver from UVA that mentioned my academic credentials as well. I don't think it was just a mass email because some of my friends with higher LSATs did not receive a fee waiver, and they're signed up on CAS. So it seems…
I can't speak for anyone else, but a lot of the schools that have sent me fee waivers are pretty specific on why they're sending it. They'll mention my GPA, LSAT score, diversity, or all of the above.
Many schools do send out mass emails if you're…
I bought the 180 watch a few months ago, and it's been great! If you're okay working with a bezel, you might as well get a cheaper watch though. The main thing to love about this watch is that it takes away all the guesswork (much like the Mastermin…
@dannyy121 I use a gooseneck mount for my GoPro. It works pretty well! No complaints so far.

The Opera browser was significantly faster. Thanks, @"Cant Get Right"!!
There were three bathrooms available at my testing center, but two went "out of order" conveniently right before testing began. I felt like I was in a jungle during my 15 minute break. The proctors closed the door on a few of us, but they ended up l…
It's definitely possible, but that would be tough if you're not already scoring mid-high 160s. Those last few points to break 170 are no joke. On the bright side, the 7Sage curriculum should definitely give you a boost in your score if you take the …
Getting better at Flaw questions will help your LR tremendously, as it intertwines with all question types that have arguments. I see you don't have a 7Sage course- what study resources are you using? How are you doing with conditional reasoning? De…
Letters from professors who know you well and can uniquely speak about your capabilities in the classroom are much better than the letters that say "John was great. He received an A in my class."
If a professor can also speak about your character,…
@"Cant Get Right" I agree! Being able to know exactly when and where you went wrong is extremely valuable.
@MrSamIam Both. I did get faster upload speeds at Starbucks, so looks like I'll be doing my uploads there unless I find a better option. Tha…
I've worked at four different law firms. None of them requested a transcript, but my GPA was on my resume.
I wouldn't worry about it! Especially since it is a family friend. If he does end up asking for a transcript, I highly doubt he'll remember …

I can't imagine staying at X location all day waiting for my PT to upload.
This. It would probably take me an entire weekend to upload a full PT. Smh.

7Sage should incorporate a Tinder style dating service for LSAT students
Lolol actually... I met my boyfriend here on 7sage. #wefoundloveinahopelessplace
- Work out! Morning workouts are my favorite. It really gives me the energy I need to get through 9-hr work days.
- Tan by the pool.
- Bake. My coworkers can always tell when I'm stressed because I'll show up to work with a dozen brownies and deman…
First of all, that RC score is golden, so be happy you don't need much improvement in that section. It takes others much longer to get there (including me >:| ).
For LR, are you using the 7Sage analytics? Which question types give you the most …
