Congratulations on a fantastic outcome!

You make interesting observations and all but the real question is... Do you trade your young assets for Kawhi now or holdout and gamble that you can get him for free next year? Taking into consideration the limited time you might have LA Bron at pe…

@kimmy_m66 said: I don’t think anyone is scoffing at the idea of taking time off, but rather at OP’s seeming inability to understand why everyone doesn’t take the time off. As I’ve said, if you have savings or parents to pay for your time off,…

It is doable but it will depend on a combination of your natural ability and how much you are capable of dedicating yourself to it. I started with a 151, used 7sage basic + the LSAT test books with 10 tests each in them to study through the last wee…

@harrisonhartsough said: So, it sounds like spending the rest of the summer polishing my app and studying for a retake is in order so I can ED really quickly if my retake isn't that much better. Congratulations! You are on the right track an…

If you do take time off, make sure you really boost that LSAT. Ultimately, if you took a year off but got a 169/170 (median for majority of T14) you would still outperform the guy who worked full-time at some job but got a 165... assuming all other …
-
Whether you should apply ED or not depends on your new LSAT score. You have a great GPA and if your new LSAT is median or greater, i would not recommend ED'ing at all... if your new LSAT is still lower than median, then I would ED at NU given your s…

151 diagnostic. spent 2 months living/breathing 7sage in october and november where i did the CC/BR in the evenings when i didn't have any "sprinting" energy left from doing PTs in the morning. 5 PTs a week. took the december 2nd LSAT and hit 164 bu…

I think the best way to not get distracted is to stay engaged with the reading in a way that is frequent. My strategy was to have my own running dialogue in my head with the reading. After each sentence I would make a comment, ask a question, or ju…

Yeah, it actually is a boost to your application to have had a year or two off if you used it to gain work experience or other valuable experience. Heck, UMich is sending out e-mails this year to some of its KJD (students who are trying to go straig…

The core curriculum is included with any package you buy from 7sage. I bought the starter package just to get access to the core curriculum.

i used the starter course to improve from my diagnostic of 150 in September to a 164 on the December LSAT and eventually to a 172 on the february LSAT. i've said it in many threads, but the LR learning materials in the core curriculum are by far th…

This is a very interesting case... I'd be willing to bet that, with some creativity, you could put together an awesome application that stands out from the others. Getting a high LSAT would lend a lot of credibility to what you are trying to do and …

Stay on the wait list. Especially if you are still figuring the decision out. Plus, even if you do stay on the WL, it's far from guaranteed you'll even have to make the decision. Don't get too emotionally attached to the desires of the school and it…

No problem! Basically, my strategy came down to just filling in answers before I flipped each page. It just so happens that each page flip is one reading passage or one logic game. I would also fill in 3 answers at a time before looking back at the…

For RC, i would bubble my answers after I finished the passage. 4x For LG, I would bubble my answers after I finished each game. 4x For LR, I would bubble my answers before I actually turned the page over.

@LastLSAT said: @"mickey.caleb" Thanks for bringing that consideration up! Yes, I did think about going to a strong regional T20 that gave me a full ride + stipend (there aren't any good law schools in my city, but this T20 does feed in). That…

That whole story of your LSAT journey and you don't even tell us what your final LSAT score was?!?!? I feel cheated :P congratulations though!
