I wonder is one of the reasons behind unlimited retakes was the expectation that there would be a sustained period of fewer test takers and that making it unlimited would allow for continued revenue.
Thanks @Pacifico for repping UCI! Zot zot!
I'm a PhD at UCI and the VP of student government, so if people have questions about the school generally, housing, or OC then I'm happy to help
Not sure how much you can negotiate with Berkeley. They saw on their website that they only match some of the T14 schools. If they gave money, it probably wouldn't be a drop in the bucket in your overall decision process.
Congratulations on your a…
@brulisha Congratulations on your acceptances! What kind of law are you interested?
If public interest, then check their LRAPs, if they are similar then definitely go Howard. D.C. has its advantages if your interested in administrative. Depending …

So, I actually sit on the housing planning committees. The shortage, writ large, won't affect the three year guarantee that law students get. It affects PhD programs and those who are trying to get in off the housing …

One bedrooms are hard to come by, unless you have extenuating circumstances. But cats are super common, and on the housing application you specify if you are planning on bringing cats and if you'd like to.live with ca…

I live on campus at UCI (in a PhD program though). Lemme know if you have any questions about the student or the area!

I know schools only have to report our top score these days. But are there any stats about how many times, on average, a person takes the LSAT?
According to the LSAC's reporting, the average person takes it more t…

@rnshumar I feel the same way! Especially when people have been saying how hard the questions have been, I've been super nervous. Hope your gut feeling is on point! ?
The rule of thumb I've seen is that you take the percentile your GPA is in +/- 50 and that'll give you a ballpark of the LSAT percentile for the school you'd need to average their 50th.
However, as a splitter, it can be a shot in the dark with som…

They claimed the storm wouldn't delay score release in their online letter. Hopefully that's still the case.
I've heard that the release is largely automated, and that they likely just need someone in the building in case…
@simplereally had some great observations that I stuggle with. With the logic heavy question types, I look for immediate parallels in the stimulus and the answers. Immediately eliminating options where, for instance, the conclusion is wrong, quanti…
I couldn't imagine that to be true, given that you aren't supposed to have an especially long resume. The paid summer work that you'll have after 1L and 2L should count as employment.
OP, Yale Law has a blog where they do a P.S. Bootcamp that would be really helpful. It shows things from their perspective, so you'll know how to say your truth without running the risk of it misconstrued or misvalued.

I wonder if schools receive LSAT scores before we do??
I've heard from others on different threads, that they generally get the scores the day after us
I believe yes to both, because if it must then it could.
Especially because this is for LG, there will only be one, eventually clear-cut, answer. Because of that, if you know that it must then you can pounce on that as the right answer.
Reading can be pretty variable, especially if you misunderstand the main point or tone. Every so often you'll hit a snug. Hopefully those random snags just become increasingly rare for you!
Also, how were your other three sections? Even if you bomb…
@stepharizona I'd check the specific schools that you are considering, some have released statements on how they'd try to make up any potential deficit and/or how their programs might change.
Some have said (given their endowment, that they'd be ab…
