Same age, one kid, and rising 3L (at a T6). I would not have enjoyed law school this much had I done it at a younger age. So age is actually a blessing. As a single mom, you will definitely have to ask for help at times (family, friends,neighbors…
Lateness really hurts. My personal hunch is that one doesn't have a chance unless their numbers are in the 90% of the school stats. If you are not in a hurry to go to law school, just apply again. Or you can transfer -- don't do it unless you don…
Hi Leah,
My school has more 30+-year-old students than I expected (on their website I think the average age is 24?). We have a huge LLM program and the LLM students are usually more experienced and older -- after 1L, classes usually have mixed JDs…
Hi Folks,
It's been a while and I missed the 7sage community.
I am finishing up my 2L and so far it's been an incredible ride and I have loved every minute of it. I think if you still want to go to law school at this age (I was 35+ when I started…
It will hurt but you have to move on. You have to show them that it is PAST. Try to end your addendum with a positive note such as "After xxx, I finished school with a 4.0/4.0 GPA" or "I finished my last two semesters in college with straight A's.…
Hey I took LSAT three times and increased my score in every retake by 4-5 points, although my 2nd retake was a disaster because I could not sleep the night before. I think you need to take a break first. Just relax for two months and do nothing LS…
@Sheri123 I share your concerns. I too am interested in public sectors. I think that in general people at better ranked schools are more interested in public sectors hence it is easier to find people who share your interest and build a network the…
I was in the 160 range and stopped studying for 9 months. When I restarted I scored 165 very easily. Maybe you just need a break. Also, I used to set my target scores. At some point I was so obsessed over it that I got super nervous about PT - d…
Putting my 3-year-old son in daycare was extremely helpful, so I could do the timed PT uninterrupted. When he was at home, it never worked. He would ring the doorbell when I was in the middle of a section and that drove me crazy. The good thing a…
I think for games you need to start working on them on your own to figure out your weakness. Don't do PT's. Work on a game untimed. Mark places where you are unsure. Watch JY's explanation (I can't think of games without hearing his voice in my …
@noobie1
I did talk to my UG's career center and pre-law adviser! I found it extremely helpful - only wish that I had done it sooner. I have gained new perspectives after speaking to her - knowing my strength and weakness. She gave me general di…
Can you postpone the test now? Have you checked the deadline to postpone the test? That said, your Feb score won't make it for this cycle. I don't see why you need to rush.
I agree with a post from above - the rumor of 3 points drop from PT scor…
I don't think it matters how much time you put in/how many problems you do. I was only able to study for at most 4 hours a day. What kept me motivated was that I was able to see my progress:1) I could see a problem more clearly. 2) I could attack…
If I were you, I would not buy it. It is oddly easy (-9 curve). It's not in the 70's range. It's not a good indicator of your capabilities. It doesn't really help much unless you run out of all the preptests and have redone all of them three tim…
I wish I could help you. I honestly don't think I completely understood G3 even though I got all of the questions correct and scored -0 on the test (not as PT). I haven't bothered to look at 77 again.. But I remember doing a reverse chart of the G…
@louis2014
Yes, that 5 minute mark - I started to panic and everything went blank. I would suggest that checking your watch less often as you discover your rhythm during the last stage of your practices.
In order to find my rhythm I timed my re…
@louis2014
I understand how you feel. I used to freeze at grouping games. And my advice for you is - if you are not sure whether or not you should split.. just split - because it looks like you do not have other strategies at the moment right? S…
