anyone else WUSTL bound?

i am down. an invite only dropbox to share docs?

@Aidoe Yes, schools give out fee waivers based on LSAT score (but also for other reasons, too). You still need to pay the LSAC CAS fee, which is around $30 per school, although that can be waived based on financial criteria.
-
You can but they won't review it until you have a score. Also it might be better to wait since you might be able to get a fee waiver based on your score.
-
you can write to them and ask for an extension. i doubt there are any serious consequences other than losing your deposit, but i'd take a look at the terms and conditions to see if accepting the scholarship = binding decision to attend that school (…

Some of the posters here are assuming lackluster/ambivalent attitude towards law vs selecting between equally exciting/interesting/paying choices .I am absolutely excited at the prospect of law school and the legal world, I have a few great offers o…

you might've seen this already but TLS has a few samples: http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=27169

Looks good to me, as long as you are finished with the curriculum and basically working on fine tuning at this point its all good
-
Are you done with the course already? if not I suggest finishing up the curriculum before doing anymore PTs. If you have finished the course, you can/should start drilling LGs from earlier exams (you have 40+ PTs, I think you can spare 10 for drilli…

congrats! hope you get into your dream school!
-
I agree and I think once you get acclimated to the newer passages you can get back to the level you were at before, perhaps even better. I focused on elimination which helped immensely and read a ton of articles from NYT, NY'er, Atlantic etc which h…

I don't think the GRE is a good replacement. I (and I am sure others here) went to grad school which required the GRE and that exam measures memorization more than reasoning. Once you mastered the formulas (for the quant section) and vocabulary (for…

@Sheri123 anecdotal evidence, i got nice number of waivers but performed pretty much as you'd expect for someone with my numbers. did save some application money though..
-
@as5324therapy they want to keep their acceptance % low, this may be a factor in the USNEWS ranking so obviously schools will do their best to rank as high as possible.

1 passage, 1 game, 10LRs or so before my actual exams
-
Thanks for everyone's input.

The June test starts about 4 hours later (close to noon, EST) so you can sleep in. I also felt that the test was easier; but since the scale is harsher I guess that balances things out. If you are in school the June test might give you more time to …

I performed better than I thought both times. Actual scores were less than 1 point different than respective average PTs leading up to the exams.

but this watch is 53% off compared to your 41% http://www.amazon.com/Zenith-Tourbillon-Automatic-Chronograph-03-0529-4035/dp/B001N05S5S/ref=sr_1_3?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1449513077&sr=1-3&nodeID=7141123011&keywords=zenith+watch

I do about 25 questions (1st LG, 1st RC, ~12 LRs) to get warmed up. As long as you find something that works for you its all good.

*inserts dirty joke* EDIT: wow 3 year bump..?

@MrSamIam I took in August 2014 and thought I could reach my goal in 3 months. By the time November rolled around I was barely improving so I postponed. Switched to 7sage in January and made a lot of improvements but because I was still improving in…
-
@MrSamIam I originally signed up for the Dec 2014 exam, which I changed to Feb 2015 and changed again to June. 17 point improvement from diagnostic to 1st actual test.
-
Totally normal! A few weeks before the test I was actually wishing it was sooner so I could just get over it! Multiple nightmares about misbubbling (actually happened a few times on PTs), not able to solve a game at all (also happened a few times on…
-
A game that might require brute force for you might not for someone else..I'd take a look at past PTs to see which types you need to brute force the most and work on strategies from there.
-
Nothing wrong with postponing. I postponed twice before my first time and was glad I did so. Over-performing on the LSAT can happen but its not something you should rely on. My PT average score was scarily accurate, less than +0.75 on real thing b…
-
@erliana2 it will make you slower in the beginning but as you get better at it you will use a lot less time and possibly just do it in your head eventually.
-
sufficiency/necessity has been brought up in different classes so that was helpful. also inferences regarding most -> most or some variation of that type.
-
if your family is rich and donates to the school you can probably get in no matter what you score on the lsat lol
-
hey there, i experienced the same thing moving to the newer RCs; what worked best for me was getting really good at elimination. the readings/questions themselves didn't get more difficult imo but the answer choices contained more traps.
