  • @lsatplaylist said: For the emails, what are some good subject lines? I always used "Fee Waiver-Public Service" because I was soliciting fee waivers based on my experience in Teach for America. A lot of students will ask for merit based fee …
  • Boston University with a full-ride!
  • One of the law schools I was accepted to has this list of suggested reading. I'm not stressing about getting through it but I've read a couple I thought would be interesting and so far I haven't been disappointed. Congratulations on your acceptance!…
  • I think Saturday the 29th is the latest date the scores will be released. They may be released earlier, however. Check out this neat article from PowerScore. https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/lsat-score-release-dates-scheduled-vs-actual-comparison…
  • Complete the entire flaw section of the Trainer. That was the most helpful section for me. It sounds like you need the most help in reasoning and so much of the reasoning section focuses on flaws. Good luck!
  • For people requesting fee waivers with a public service background, I asked and received service-based fee waivers for the following schools: -University of Chicago -UC Berkeley -Northwestern -USC -Boston College I'm waiting to hear back from …
  • @eRetaker That's a great idea! Thanks. I'm going to a law school fair this weekend and 5 of the schools I'm applying to will be there.
  • I'm going to this fair! This is also my first law school fair. I visited BC last week though. The schools on your list are the same as mine! Let's connect. DM me. (:
  • I had RC, LR, LG, LG, LR Real RC: 1) 14th Amendment-Supreme Court Case 2) Archaeological Findings? (domesticated horses maybe) 3) Comparative: Music (operas) 4) Seismic Activity Real LR: -Honeybees -Sugar sweetener- parallel flaw -Nationa…
  • Does anybody know if Boston College offers a fee waiver? I did TFA and I noticed a lot of schools waive the fee for these years of service but I can't find anything on BCs website.
  • I also grew up eating Mexican food lol. When I went away for college it was so hard for me to learn how to eat healthier. I stuck to hot pockets, pop tarts, and ramen soups. I still hate vegetables but I find them easier to eat with hummus. I cut u…
  • @LSAT_Wrecker said: Dear LSAC, don’t send out an email about my September test registration the day before you are scheduled to release my July score. My thoughts exactly! Lol
  • @Kateryna said: @Giselle112 it was released a couple minutes past midnight on the day when scores were supposed to come out for june 2018 test Gotcha! Thank you!
  • @Kateryna said: I do not think we will get them earlier. Maybe at midnight of August 10th. Have scores been released at midnight for prior tests?
  • @arman_65 said: The CC is phenomenal for mastering the fundamentals and LG. I personally recommend the LSAT trainer in addition to the CC. It really emphasizes on reading structure which is crucial for RC. The trainer also categorizes flaws in…
  • You can have a two page resume. Take a look at the samples on HLS' website. The third one is from somebody who has been out of college a while: https://hls.harvard.edu/dept/jdadmissions/apply-to-harvard-law-school/the-application-process/application…
  • If you look at the methodology of how U.S. World & News ranks law schools there are multiple factors that they weigh. Obviously LSAT and GPA are the ones we are always hearing about but placement success actually weighs more heavily than both th…
  • I found this notation strategy for RC helpful. I think my issue with using a highlighter is that you only get one (or two) colors. It's hard to differentiate the information when searching for a specific fact. Creating a consistent system will hel…
  • I had the same feeling leaving the test today. I just tried registering for the September exam and it was closed. Did you register for it today?
  • I've been reading through the different approaches to this type of question and from what I've gathered people are approaching them in different ways: -Identify the Conclusion -Most Strongly Supported -Must Be True -Sufficient Assumption I'm st…
  • Thank you for all of your words of encouragement, everybody! I woke up reading your comments and I feel so much better knowing I have this community. I'm having a "Treat Myself" day today and will probably just drill and go back to the basics for th…
  • You're saving money for law school or taking another year to pay off undergraduate debt?
  • @"samantha.ashley92" said: Oh, I like what @JustDoIt said! Do you have a personal statement topic? If not, maybe make a story about your life in school into your personal statement. I do have a personal statement topic! It's a story about my…
  • @Nabintou said: Hey! So I think there's a reason why you have the current version of your diversity statement that you do---it's an important story, one that's yours, and so one only you can tell. I've heard repeatedly, re: both, PSs and …
  • I would love to be included on one of these calls if they happen before the July test!
  • I use the Trainer now that I am doing practice tests. I think it's a good addition once you complete the cc on 7sage. Some of the concepts are explained differently in the Trainer. I found conditional logic easier to understand and flaws easier to i…
  • I work in CA State Government. Our Chief Counsel went to Golden Gate for Law school and he has had a very successful career but he struggled when he first left Golden Gate. He became a legal secretary for a few years and when he asked the law firm w…
