They can't tell you other accommodations, but they'll approve anything within reason that you and your doctor state are needed. For example, I brought a seating pad which is an accommodation that isn't listed by LSAC. Your doctor may have suggestion…

@astrowise said: @Supernovice - definitely ok to talk about telescopes instead of observatories. I used them interchangeably throughout my essay. (I am in my 6th year of an Astronomy PhD program.) Also definitely good that you did not write as…

@parkervukich said: Haha yeah - thanks a lot. I always read those comments like prepare for the worst, but I didn’t think I needed to practice taking the test with one eye closed. Just a suggestion for all you out there who wear contacts, try …

I applied to 13 schools with my September score and I'm retaking Saturday. My app is complete/under review at every school. I've been accepted to one school and have had three interviews at others. I did not have to do anything extra, except at Bost…

Fully review 84 and then retake it timed? I like to do that when I don't do well on a PT. Usually, I can space out the review from the retake. It's a confidence boost, and you'll be reviewing the question wording that is likely to be similar to the …

You should use the watch you have been using during your prep. The casio watch with the rotating bevel is the one I have used on my previous test and will use on Saturday.

It’s unfortunate that UMich has that GPA/LSAT prompt in the optional essay section stating only write on 2 out of 8 prompts. each prompt is a 1 page max. I have a pretty standard gpa addendum that is a paragraph and needs to be sent. My lsat score i…

@Kermit750 it's probably me being neurotic, but i don't want adcoms to look at it and think - did she expect to apply last year and then didn't? And think I'm not responsible or didn't get my applications done in time. I'll probably just talk to my …

@"Leah M B" do you know if the date is on the letters? One of my professors wrote the letter last year. I don't know if I should ask him to re-write it or just give him the option. If the old date is there, I want him to re-write, at least to fix th…

97% of applicants don't score a 170+. I'm not saying that you can't be one of those who do, but you should give yourself some grace. Your LSAT score does not define who you are. Instead of focusing on such a specific score, why don't you focus on ge…

Happy to swap!

@amy.berger24 - I said based on the situation @dacalvert described, which I also noted was a VERY brief description, (test-day anxiety) does not constitute a disability. @Dacalvert said: I do suffer from anxiety every time I take a test no m…

The situation you described, having test day anxiety, does not constitute a disability. "LSAC is committed to assisting disabled candidates with requests for accommodations needed to take the LSAT." It also doesn't sound (from your very brief descri…

The way around this... at least for some schools is having the school label the "scholarship" as a stipend. All scholarships must be reported to the schools financial aid office, including veterans benefits. It does get a little complicated. I've he…

The problem I see is that you are telling “his stories”. Even if it changed or reaffirmed how you feel by hearing them. It still isn’t about you. I would think of a different topic about you and what qualities will make you a great law student.

@"samantha.ashley92" said: @"Adam Hawks" right, but they can say that you're asking for too much. Nope. They got sued for that too. And a SF judge rang down on them. LSAC was held in contempt in March 2018 for not complying with a consent de…

LSAC is not denying anyone. Ask for what you need, what your documents state, and you'll get it. Seriously. I have not heard of anyone getting denied recently. I would suggest taking a PT with 100% time and make sure that is really what you need (wa…

Definitely look into raising your LSAT score. You don't need to shoot for 170+ (98th percentile). Just be sure that when you apply you know you have put your energy into the test and you are confident that it is your best. I would suggest holding of…

This could be an interesting topic and it sounds like you are very passionate about it. A couple things to consider, you definitely want to tie your PS to qualities that would likely make you a good law student and a good lawyer. The way you wrote y…

@"Pride Only Hurts" I just attended the Harvard webinar and it was stated that anyone in the academic field that could attest to your academic ability IS considered an "academic recommendation". Some examples they mentioned, if you did research with…

Check websites and keep at an out on your email. If all your transcripts are in LSAC, schools get alerts for that too, or however that works. I got so many emails from schools (not great ones) wishing me luck and such and telling me about fee waiver…

If you use the second topic, you can tie it back into why lawschol and why now. Which is what your personal statement should address. It doesn’t need to be in your face about it, but I definitely think it needs to be addressed. Also, look up the pro…

3 instead of 4 is great for some people. Another “skipping strategy” is to skip a question within a section, which works as long as it isn’t the last question. I go back to a circled question while I’m still in the passage. Just make sure you aren’t…

I brought a pill bottle with a mixture of medications I normally take, including ibuprofen. It was in a prescription bottle though I’m not sure that matters. The email LSAC sent said “medical products” were allowed.

Go into test day like any other practice test. Eat and drink before/on breaks whatever you have been doing that works for you. Don’t psych yourself out. Good luck!

@keets993 thanks for clarifying!
