@"Leah M B" said: It's not 100% necessary to do for each school, but I do think that it is helpful most of the time. Generally, you should always write any optional essays that they list. If they give you a list of 5 topics and say you can wri…

I've heard many people say that they just leave it blank. Your assessment is right, though, that you never want to make a "safety" school feel as though they are a safety school. I personally chose to list 2 to 3 peer schools + 1 to 3 schools ranked…

Nothing is mailed. Everything is available as an online page and/or printable PDF.

If you're looking for a 5-10 point increase in just over a month, you're going to need the Ultimate course and to devote way more than 3-4 hours of studying a day. It takes a while to get over the 160 and 165 hump. Not to mention that many people do…

@LSAT_Wrecker said: For me, it definitely varies by school. I was admitted to one school within 2 weeks of submission. I am still waiting (2-3 months later) for most of my decisions to T1 schools. I'm a splitter so I am admittedly not usually …

At this point, it may be helpful to wait until March. I don't know when exactly the January exam is happening, but people generally score below their PT average on the real exam (test day nerves etc.). If you're already PTing below where you want to…

As someone who studied for about a year, I regret not starting off with the Ultimate package. It has so many features that you can use to target specific weaknesses, down to PT range and question type, that it is so much easier to make quick point g…

Willing to swap as well!

I will say, as someone who sat for the exam three times + took the digital field exam, that you are more familiar with the process after a "real experience." That does not necessarily get rid of your nerves though. The pressure of the exam exists wh…

We need more info. How many hours a day are you working/commuting? Are you driving or taking public transit? Are you able to do any studying at work? What's your energy level before and after work? Realistically, how many hours of sleep do you need …

I'd use test sections from as early as the 20s and 30s. The test has evolved, but many of those sections are still relevant to doing well on modern tests. As in, they require many of the same big-picture skills needed to do well on modern LSATs. Tha…

@"Beast Mode" said: Hi @"Molly Nelson" I might be wrong but I think for the CAS report to be complete and sent to the school, the letter of recommendation among everything else has to be finalized. I believe this is right. But, do you have …

That is absolutely fine. My pre-law dean actually recommended getting LORs right after finishing a class with a professor and having it on file in our pre-law office for future use. I think it shows early planning/preparedness and that you've been s…
-
So maybe it's actually better to apply in Dec-Jan this cycle. I wonder if schools were more strict with early acceptances/denied more people who applied Sept-Nov. based on the early applicant numbers.

Is there another accommodation that you think would work better for you? Perhaps voice-recognition software? If you can think of a reasonable accommodation that would help you out, LSAC will likely try to make it happen. Apparently, they are very le…

The difference may be because an A+ counts as like a 4.3 or 4.33. If you google it there’s a list of how they convert each grade.

Have you tried putting the applications into your cart and getting through to the payment page? If you get there, then maybe they send everything on file and just update law schools when your CAS updates. But what I was saying is that I'm not sure i…

Will CAS even let you do that? I haven't tried but did get error/reminder messages about needing to assign a LOR before adding my applications to the cart. Not sure if there's a way to bypass this. If you can, then I don't see why you shouldn't subm…

@jspps2 said: I'd be happy to swap with you! I just finished my PS and would love to have someone review it. Happy to review your DS! Feel free to send it to me if you'd like and I'll reply with mine. Awesome thanks!

If they say not to write a letter of continued interest, it may be that they don't want to get tons of emails from waitlisted students who they already understand are a decent fit for the school. I'm obviously not a guru in admissions, but maybe it'…
-
Agreed, it's a huge mistake. First, it shows that you don't follow rules (not exactly something they're looking for in law school). Second, it shows your writing skills are lacking. It's easy to write too much; takes much more time and effort to be …
