Congrats on the full ride!!! That's what I'll be striving for in the coming months... I'm already above their 75th percentile for the LSAT but I'm at their 25th percentile for GPA Hopefully I still have a chance at scholarships!
Thanks so muc…
That's great! When I visited Temple I got the same vibe. Everyone was so helpful with all my questions and were very willing to help me out. Do you live on campus? My commute would be long (an hour) so I've been thinking of staying on campus …

Thanks for posting this!
I'm really excited to see schools like Temple University kinda sorta up there in terms of employment outcomes.. Even though my dream is to go T14, schools like Temple are probably a more realist…
Hey there Most applications I've done/seen have had an option to explicitly state that you would like to hold your application until a certain test score or LOR comes in, so if you definitely want a certain school to hold your app until then, just …
Can't believe it's only a month out already! I will also just chime in and say you'd be better served to do one or two tests a week and really, really get into your weaknesses by blind reviewing. Blind reviewing and foolproofing have been absolutely…
(I'll start by saying you should take this with a grain of salt because I'm by no means an expert and I'm in the thick of this process right along with you, but here it goes.) Based on feedback I've gotten from admissions folks and editors, if your …
Both. So when I started PTing about a year ago, I regularly (and embarrassingly) went -12 on games. I could go -2 on every other section and games would just crush me. I now average about -1/-2 which for me is a level of improvement I truly never th…
That's officially my new plan. I think I can realistically get my score up to at least my average. It's amazing how much less pressure I'm putting on myself studying now that I have a good score under my belt and I think this new mindset will serve …

From what I've heard, you don't have to entirely change your PS for the new application. You would have to make noticeable edits, but I don't think you would need to throw the whole thing out.
Yeah I've heard that too, so…
@"Alex Divine" totally. I've had the thought that the GRE thing will be geared toward people who have like, Ph.Ds in super complex fields who think, "Lol I am not studying for that stupid LSAT thing. They can bask in my quantum physics glory," or wh…

If you can make almost any part of your application better, waiting is what gets my vote. The value proposition of applying early makes sense, but the advantage of applying with a higher LSAT or better PS will almost certa…

I personally would take a year off. I've done editorial work for the past three years since graduating college and honestly, that work gave me a more focused idea of what type of law I'd like to pursue and a better understanding of myself as a perso…

Of course! I hope it helps (I have faith that i…
I'm also going to chime in with the mindfulness/meditation advice! Along with mastering fundamentals, it is essential that you don't lose your cool on test day. Easier said than done, I know. I'm a super Type-A, highly anxious person so for what it'…
@imadl95 sure thing! I'm basically retaking in December to avoid putting off applying to other T14s another cycle. I figure my application would still be sent early enough in the process to make me a contender. February is still doable for 2018 enro…

@"Alex Divine" Thank you for your comment.
I probably should have mentioned that my 166 was a second LSAT. I absolutely do not want to take more than three times, and it's only a month u…
First of all, congrats on that amazing increase! Damn. And you have the absolute right mindset because even if you didn't hit your target you crushed your studies and lived to tell the tale after sitting for the exam. It's totally normal to not hit …
Okay, now that I'm down from my initial heart-racing, total madness high, I got a good score. I was above my average and worked really hard. I'm sure all of you nailed it as well! Hope everyone kicked this thing's ass. (Also, went from minus 13 on g…

During my break I stood with my back straight against the wall facing my fellow LSAT test takers. I tucked my chin in and while maintaining eye contact I started flapping my hands like bird wings.

Yeah I don't not anticipate a huge curve on this one since I'm trash at games and I found them easy and I feel like the consensus is that LR was pretty standard. Ughhh.

I'm hoping the judges RC section was experimental. It was brutal
I also thought LR was on the medium to harder side and LG was easier
Was hoping the same thing for RC but evidently the judges section was real. If you nee…
