I'm not exactly sure what kind of answer you're looking for. Yes, it makes up for it in the sense that both GPA and LSAT are important, so if one of them is "low" or below median, your chances at admission are helped considerably if the other is "h…

Either is fine, but I agree the second seems more natural.

I want to emphasize number 4. I got a 176, and I believe meditation played a large role. I think a lot of people might read through this list and see #4, think "huh that's interesting, maybe I'll try that sometime..." and then never follow through. …

It does include both assistance with brainstorming and unlimited revisions for essentially all of the written material you submit: personal statement, addenda, diversity statement, résumé & other essays. It does not include scholarship negotiat…

I worked full-time (~50-55 hrs/wk) while studying for the LSATs but realize your schedule may be even more demanding than mine was. I think you actually may want to avoid a course with structured class days and times, assuming you cannot predict ahe…

The poll only had yes/no options, but there may well be a third option: write your personal statement partially on battling anxiety. I wonder if you could use the details of your battling anxiety as a substantial part of a broader theme, such as ove…

My understanding is that the overall average will hold the most weight, as that is what will ultimately be considered by USNWR rankings.

@lsatplaylist thanks very much, i'll check out those sources

I went back and forth initially, unsure which method was better for me. Then I decided to pick one and I read the stimulus first for nearly two months actually. Then I revisited this and switched to reading the stem first and felt that (after one PT…

@"David.Busis" said: Hey everyone—I can speak for @"J.Y. Ping" when I tell you that this advice from six years ago is no longer valid. The writing sample matters. Some admissions officers read all writing samples as a rule; some only…

Another strategy, which you might want to do in conjunction with, rather than instead of, the one you mentioned, is to really nail down simple games. Hard games get relatively easier when you have more time to spend on them. So getting to the point …

No need to really overthink this, but I'd personally sit down and write the '07 essay even if you are familiar with it, just give yourself a few minutes less to do so (since you've already 'brainstormed' essentially). If that goes poorly, then maybe…

@dncdrc_04 said: @lexxx745 -10 each its shameful. I tried to pace myself yesterday and go slower and ended up with -7. That count includes the last two questions which I didn’t have time to look at. It's bad, sure. Not shameful. Would you g…

I definitely think "folding paper to use it as a ruler" seems like the wrong way to go about focusing your time and effort.... Are they so illegible that you find them confusing yourself? Are they big and sloppy that after drawing a few you've taken…

Since there is a discrepancy between your title (RC) and your comment (LR), to be clear, you are referring to LR section right?

I’m not sure if this is relevant to you, but also make sure you are reading at a fast but comfortable pace. Many people read too quickly, or are focused on the fact that they are taking a test, etc., and don’t go into the answer choices knowing what…

Not sure exactly what you're asking -- of course, many questions will seem much easier when reviewing it. That's natural - you aren't under a time constraint, are less nervous, etc. I think many many reps can help you get over this. Also make sure y…

I don't think there is any issue

@MissChanandler said: ...ED at Northwestern comes with a scholarship. Wow this was news to me but yep, comes with $40K/yr

Do admissions officers really consider the fact that you visited campus when making a decision?
-
@Princess I don't think there are certain dates - you're free to take it on your own time
-
Almost all the sources I've seen think that the exact position of the LOR's author is not very important and more or less echoes what @MissChanandler said above.

@Princess said: Has anyone taken the online writing section? I took the test in July, but still haven't taken the writing. Can I take it anytime or is it only on the test date? I'm not sure if I missed it already I took the June LSAT and als…

+1 to this post and @MissChanandler 's comment

@"Habeas Porpoise" said: Wait, what?? I actually use this! I thought I made it up though (clearly not, guess I'd just seen it before) 😂 It's like an infinity symbol with a bit of the right end cut off, right? Edit: Yep, I looked it up. S…

I suppose I'd use the generic proportionality symbol which can probably be best described as a ribbon-shape tilted onto its left side, or a greek letter alpha that has been squashed/stretched horizontally.
