Do you mind sharing what your target score is/where you're at now and what your averages are per section? What is your average blind review score lately? My gut is that I would push it back to September, as the pressure you have to get +10 for your…

Thank you for this! I have been PT'ing at a 167 flat for the past 4 tests and really want to push 170. I've felt out of it every time I test lately, as I think I'm just becoming a bit drained. Gives me hope that we can do this! Pushing past the high…

I will! I also have one if you wanna switch and review one another's!

@FixedDice said: Two pages are perfectly acceptable. I saw at least one resume where the applicant (accepted to a T13) used just one bullet for a number of positions. Thank you! Would you mind taking glance at mine once I'm finished and prov…

@"Return On Inference" said: @goingfor99th I don't think they're saying this, but worried that it might be misinterpreted that way. Personally I don't know how admissions officers would interpret the DS. Online I've seen a lot of ide…

@lsatplaylist said: To add to this, the Kennedy School of Government may be another one to consider. 100% but Princeton offers full paid + 20K to anyone accepted who isn't coming in with a full paid external fellowship. So it is definitely a…

@swamlepow said: @storm Princeton offers a JD? Nope - but they do offer their MPA in partnership with JDs from (mostly t20/t14) law schools. http://wws.princeton.edu/graduate-academics/programs/joint-mpajd.

Lol - I should've known doing this that there would be an onslought of questioning my method, which I tired to note upfront was laden with assumptions and a bit faulty. The general conclusion was to say that more matters than numbers, not to say tha…

@swamlepow said: I think the sentiment echoed throughout this discussion is probably right. Law school admissions officers know they're admitting more than a number. So, once you meet the numbers cutoff, you have to be liked. So, while you cou…

@"Seeking Perfection" said: You will be a splitter if you can get your LSAT above the 75th. And admissions are not hopeless for splitters. You'll have a fair chance, but apply broadly. First get the great LSAT score though. Then worry about wh…

I suppose, to clarify, what I'm really asking is - am I screwed now with getting into these schools?
-
@FixedDice said: Would you mind sharing your LSAT score? Hard to say whether you are a Splitter by your GPA alone. Hey! I am still studying now. My doable LSAT score looks like it will be 169-171 given PTs and studying trends.

These responses are extremely helpful. Thank you!!!
-
Thank you, all! So grateful for any and all feedback. Even if it is just a "this is a shaky direction to head in, here's why.." As always, happy to provide feedback on your work as well if you so desire.
-
Thank you, everyone! I am so grateful for the support on 7Sage and definitely need it right now. Going to keep pushing.

If ruth can be a mom in law school, you can too! Congrats!

I'm doing June 2018 (also wouldn't be surprised if I end up taking September as well). I'm going through grouping games now in the CC while also drilling my top priority LR questions types (N.A./Flaw). Hoping to wrap up the CC in the next week or so…

Thanks for the advice and encouragement. Honestly, the hardest thing for me is feeling confident I am using my time as wisely as I can. @lsatplaylist said: What you're doing is good, and it's great that you're starting to study in the morning…

@BagelBiter Thanks for affirming what was said above. Yep - I am comfortable with the possibility. If I am taking this many PTs, I should not need the one in-person exam to determine why everything went wrong. If I don't know my strengths and weakne…

So smart to do every 3rd or 4th to make sure you can have several rounds progressing to more recent practice tests. Thank you both!
