Have fun at Yale! Just kidding. Those are both great topics. If I had to pick, I would say go with the second. As @dytmom_3x pointed out, that would make also make a great adversity essay. There's also a good chance you'll get a mom on the admission…

I would have one section dedicated to work/professional experience and another section dedicated to volunteer/service learning. If space is a concern, consult the application instructions. Most schools don't have a space limitation and explicitly ad…

I would say it is the first, unless you are looking at an In/Out game where both must be on the board. The second would imply that anytime that G isn't hired in a department, F must be. That is stronger than what the statement says.

I received a fee waiver back in October specifically because of my LSAT score (said so in the email). My assumption then was that they were sending those out to everyone with a certain LSAT score who's signed up for CRS. Maybe this round is to get i…

I was a philosophy major, so take my advice with a grain of salt. But, a great book to pick up that will help you to think logically is What is the Name of this Book by Raymond Smullyan. It's sort of an easy way to get a recreational dose of logic a…

I don't think this would constitute grounds for an immediate rejection. People apply to law school and are accepted with much worse things in their application. But, personally I would write about this in an addendum and use your personal statement …

@Mitchell-1 Where do I assume causation exactly? By pointing to an unfair advantage I'm merely pointing to an objective outcome and judging the merit of that outcome. I'm not even really speculating about causation. One simple question: Would this…

@"Mitchell-1" said: You are reading way too much into this sentence from the report. They tend to score slightly higher. This would make sense. Why would someone go through the trouble of requesting accommodations if they knew they were just g…
-
On the one hand, I'm not satisfied with the explanation that accommodations are significantly contributing to the 175-180 score range. We simply don't have the data to know whether or not this is true. However, I don't think think the analogy about …

I'm game if anyone wants to swap with me. I'll be working on mine and handing out candy all night.

Hey Jonathan, First of all, sorry to hear about September. The good news is that you have already demonstrated that you are capable of scoring much higher (assuming that your PT were taken under timed conditions). While this must feel disappointin…

@LSATcantwin said: Guys....I just realized, if the test scores are delayed by a day....we will get out scores back on OCTOBER Friday the 13th. I almost think the LSAC is evil enough to do this just for "fun".... No way they're releasing scor…

@Emily_B I meant to ask when I was there, but I forgot. Interesting sitting in on a contracts class and watching the Socratic method in action. I think it would be one essay, and if you decide to do the second part it would not exceed 500 words + pa…

@imharris Hope so! I visited last Spring, and the campus is phenomenal. If you get a chance to visit, I would higher recommend it.
-
Hey, I'm also applying to Colorado Law, and I'm going up for a tour and class observation on Friday! Maybe I'll see you there next year. But, it seems like it is asking for one personal statement that is not to exceed 1,000 words. One part is mandat…

-
I agree with maybe starting with sections and working up to full length practice tests. That might help you condition yourself to being comfortable with the time without the pressure of having to score your performance at the end. Also, there's a m…

@imharris said: 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 applicat…

Definitely feeling a lack of motivation to do anything that isn't related to my applications. Coasting really hard at the office this week. Otherwise, I've spent 8ish hours this week updating my resume and once I get it done I need to get my LORs on…

@shanedrider said: Luckily for me, some schools are sending emails about application fee waivers. Unluckily (is that a word?), some expire on October 1 so I have to crank out some applications quickly. This is definitely keeping me motiva…

@RJmazo14 said: I had RC LR LG RC LR. Was really hoping that the first RC was real, but turns out it was experimental. Judges passage and Freud/Marx passage were ridiculous. LG was pretty easy and LR was par for the course, if not a little har…

Guys, I'm pretty sure I blacked out for the experimental RC section. My test was RC-LR-LG-RC-LR and my first section was the experimental section. I distinctly remember the pyramid passage, but I don't remember anything after that... The rest of the…

@reflectionx said: There was an RC experimental passage about abstract thinking and primitive art. There was also an experimental passage on immunity to lawsuits. I have no memory of any passage mentioning the pyramids or the louvre or astrono…

Take your time and only do three if that's all you are able to get to without compromising accuracy. There are four incorrect responses to any given question. You can only eliminate them if you understand what you just read and rushing through to ge…

My personal philosophy is RC boils down to a couple of essential performance goals: comprehension and speed. However, I would put probably 80% of the weight on comprehension and 20% on speed, especially on the more recent tests. In general you prob…

@nathanieljschwartz said: This is definitely true to an extent. I took a week off and my brain was to sluggish and slow to properly PT. But a short refresher is def. Good. Agree. Took a week off because I was traveling constantly and didn't …

We will see how I feel about this after my PT today. But seriously, in one sense yes. Emotionally, I feel ready to have the LSAT behind me. I'm also doing very good on LG which I've struggled with the most. But, in another sense no. I keep seeing im…

Fool proof the games if you haven't already. If you're losing any points on logic games, it's like throwing away free money. Since you're already scoring in a high 160s-low 170s range, perfecting the games could be all the boost you need to get 1…
