I think if you have a diagnosed condition that makes something about the LSAT harder than it is meant to be, it doesn't hurt to seek accommodations. I don't specifically know what sort of accommodations people have received for bipolar (are you look…

For this cycle, November would be much better. I'm not sure if it's the exact same for Canadian schools, but generally the January LSAT is really pushing it. Since you're pretty close to your goal score, I think you can get there over the next month…

I would say yes, it can't hurt, unless the application fees are too burdensome
-
It's definitely possible, although like the above poster said it's more likely to score around your average.
-
When was your first PT? To be quite honest, if you have only made a two point improvement after 3 hours a day studying over the last 3 months, you need to re examine your study methods. It's really unlikely to score six points above your highest pra…

I would not cancel if I were you. It's really hard to guess your score after the LSAT, and the fact that 1) you already have a score on record and 2) you think you might have done better, makes me lean toward not canceling.
-
It really depends on the school range and your score honestly. The higher ranked the school, the more important it is to apply earlier (generally). For T-14 schools the January LSAT is pretty late, unless you pull like a 175+ in which case they'll p…
-
I think that these both sound more like personal statement material rather than diversity statements. Remember, there's no need to force out a diversity statement. They won't think anything negative about you if you don't have one. If you really wan…

This has been speculated to be the case, but I don't believe there has been a definitive answer.
-
There's really no rush to take it sooner if you aren't applying this cycle, other than needing to study for the GRE
-
I would say yes, if you are planning on applying this cycle
-
I felt the same, even when I was PTing my highest. I’m not sure if this is helpful, but I tried to embrace the fear by telling myself that I would be nervous of test day so I might as well just get used to it
-
I have tested in a school and at a hotel, and the experiences were pretty similar. Honestly, parking at a school is often harder (unless you go to that school I guess). To answer your question, I think it probably depends on the hotel, but generally…
-
They are saved for several years, so asking them now is a good idea! It will be nice to have those out of the way when you're ready to apply. You might want to give them a heads up (if you haven't already) that you are applying next year and not thi…

Awesome!!!
-
@aisling has a lot of good suggestions. I am also a member of the LGBTQ community, and I have been reaching out to various schools' OutLaw groups to get a feel for students' perspectives on diversity and general experience at their schools. So far, …

What on earth??? Did you have to actually send them through college board or whatever or did you just type it in and they take your word for it?
-
You can leave your application at any time, it won’t submit until you actually pay. You can work in pieces.
-
I don’t think anyone can give you great advice without more info. When are you wanting to take the LSAT? How much of an improvement from your current average are you hoping to have?
-
How long have you been BRing? It will take several PTs to make improvements. What is your BR process?
-
If you were declining calls, I would not include that time period. I think that any time you were "on call" would be good to include.
-
This is not my personal experience, but it is extremely common- it's the only way to go straight to law school from undergrad. They won't rescind your acceptance unless you do something crazy (bad run in with the law, big drop in grades)
-
I would retake for sure, but it doesn't hurt to keep your current score (unless you need the free retake).
-
Oh okay, yeah you should be fine with just using the first one! Honestly, if I were an adcomm I don't think I'd enjoy reading multiple LSAT writing samples from one person
-
My topic has absolutely nothing to do with my work experience! It's about my favorite/lifelong activity and how it has shaped who I am and how that translates to law. It's totally okay if you're not talking about law related experience.
-
With those stats, there's almost no chance of T14. T20 would be your target schools, and T30s are your safeties. The 7sage predictor gives you a 13 percent chance at Berkeley, so it's a pretty big reach but a slight chance. If you're okay with T20/T…

When I was studying for my first and second take (169 and 172) I probably spent about two or three hours a day. For my third take, I hardly studied at all and just brushed up on things (this was almost eight months after my previous take, got a 173)…
-
Do you mean the July 2019 digital sample? If so, I think it's perfectly fine to move forward with the one writing sample that you feel comfortable with. I have taken the LSAT three times, including July, and I feel no need to complete a third writin…
-
CAS lasts for five years, so you're good. For CRS, you might have to turn it off and then turn it on again for this cycle, but that's pretty easy
-
I think it's fine to have ranges. For my full time job(s), I just put 40 hours a week, even though sometimes I might work a little less or more. If your hours are pretty consistent, just put the average estimation. If there is a significant range, g…
