Thank you for sharing your experience. I am just extremely anxious about to getting into a local test center. Two years ago, it was super easy registering, but now I know to register early!!!
Congratulations Leah! Your contributions to the 7Sage discussions are always thoughtful and encouraging. It has been amazing to see a fellow non-traditional applicant go through the journey and get accepted to a T14!! Seeing your post makes me think…
I can relate as I work full-time, have two kids, and my husband works a rotating shift schedule. Like many others, I find that carving out two or three hours during your work week can be possible. If you audio record your notes (I do using an app), …
Thanks for resurrecting this thread. I want to apply this fall! Depending on my PT scores, I may take the January 2019 test. I keep pushing law school off year after year, so hoping I can set aside more time to study consistently.
Hi- Like some other 7sagers here, I am in my early thirties. I had wanted to go to law school right after undergrad, but graduated with crippling student debt and had to work in retail management. What I offer to you is that your career path or jour…
Hey guys thanks for the encouragement. Yes I meant Nov 2018 oops! University of Washington , the school I would really like to attend,averages multiple LSAT scores. My PT scores are consistently above their median,so hoping to keep the momentum goin…
Hi-
Definitely- the average LSAT is 164. My last recorded LSAT score was under 150 (which I will have to explain in an addendum). Several applicants that have higher LSAT and GPA have been rejected and have told me to steer clear. I am set to re-ta…
What a great thread! It's so amazing to hear that others are in a similar situation. I'm 32 with two kids, and we are finally in a place financially, where I can finally pursue law school. I think man what the heck am I thinking? Can I keep up with …
Congratulations! Stories like yours inspire me! I've been out of school for eleven years and sometimes I doubt whether I can still do this. Congrats for a merit scholarship! Any more tips ?!!!
You aren't alone-this is a super supportive community of fellow test takers.
I myself scored pretty consistently on my PT, then scored below a 150 on the Dec 2017 LSAT. I was crushed, tired, ashamed, and disappointed. I found out about my score at …
Yes I did take official Dec 2017 test. Sorry typo on my part. I'm 30% through the CC. It's been a slow start with working full-time and two kids. Hoping to get back in the groove of studying.
Hi! I'm shooting for January 2019 as well. I signed up for the curriculum in March, and now I have to get my butt in gear and get back into studying after my horrible Dec 2018 performance.
Great post! Thank you for sharing. I am still going through the many lows of studying and being discouraged, but your post is motivating. It gives folks like me some hope!!!
Thank you for sharing your story. I am also a parent of two kids, and I am juggling working full-time, LSAT, and earning my HR Management Certificate. I have really thought about pursuing a JD/MBA route at some point down the road. How are you balan…
Amazing job! You will be such an inspiration to your children! It's motivating to know that there are fellow mothers out there working hard and balancing life to get towards their goals!! Thanks for sharing !
Awesome job on the high score! It's great inspiration when fellow test takers who have found success share their stories. Thank you for taking the time and sharing.
Also @Eric25 thanks for the suggestion for laminating LG. I find myself with mounds…
Welcome! I can relate. My December score was like yours, and also balance FT job, spouse, and children. I signed up for 7sage, and the community is so awesome. Any questions I had or any support, I have been able to find here.
Good luck in your stu…
Congratulations!! Having children is amazing and challenging-it's the best thing that has happened to me! I found that studying with a newborn is a lot less structured. Moments when my baby seemed content to entertain herself, I would be in LSAT-wor…
@westcoastbestcoast @xadrianas6x Thank you both for motivating thoughts! Yes I am still in the middle of a career change transitioning into a corporate HR role.
After my dismal December performance, I kept thinking, maybe this isn't for me...but he…
Hi Leah M B- They do consider the future loss of income as a part of calculating financial aid. You will have to contact financial aid at the school though, as they may have a form for you to fill out. Good luck!
@LCMama2017 Thank you so much! It is nice to hear from someone who is in a similar situation! After working full-time, then taking care of the family, sometimes I feel wiped out, and ask myself what in the world am I doing???
But then I think tha…
Don't be too hard on yourself. Similar situation happened to me. My husband happened to pick up some of my logic games and figure it out himself. What the heck!!! But when he went through Reading Comp, it was a different situation!
Everyone has str…
Besides tuition, scholarship opportunities/ requirements, employment stats, and bar passage rates, here's some other things:
I always ask about classroom size, accessibility of professors, clubs or groups that I may be interested in, and if you hav…
HAHA thanks! I have had people say, it only gets better once you've hit rock bottom. Unfortunately I hit rock bottom on the LSAT. I'm planning on taking Sept. or Nov. LSAT.
I am worried about how law schools will view my very low score and one canc…
