You can have a highlighter that has dual ends. As far as “pros” not using them that’s not entirely true it’s a preference but agree don’t switch between pencil and highlighter just mark with the highlighter including questions and then bubble at pa…

It won’t hurt but it won’t help overcome a UGPA or LSAT issue. Have 2 4.0 Masters degrees and while it was a nice soft didn’t help with admissions in almost all cases. I asked the schools I was admitted to if it helped being admitted and most said i…

Unless you’re going to a top school T-6 mainly, there is very need based aid. I have nearly a 0 FAFSA and only BU gave a small amount of need based aid.

Don’t discount a high GPA. My friend is a 4.0 164 non URM going to UPenn. In a cycle of high LSAT scores, high GPAs were a hot commodity this cycle and likely to be next as well.

I always did a bracket around the conclusion. It just became habit so it was like a security blanket on test day. But I notate a lot... absolutely not needed. Just find what your comfort level is.

@keets993 said: Also, just because some is smart or scored well doesn't mean that they're a good teacher. I can think of a couple profs or TA's who were at the top of their game intellectually but not good at teaching. Amen to that!!

Yep switch. Some students need tough love and some need constant encouragement but you have to be able to communicate openly. I'm sometimes tough on the folks I tutor, but only after I've confirmed they want/need that extra push. Meet with people …

Yep the ticket says a highlighter. Multiple highlighters are not allowed, but a single highlighter with multiple tips a ok. I basically called and ran through a bunch of rules and that was one I asked about.
-
I called the LSAC about this year and you can have multiple watches and they can be on your desk. You can also have a single highlighter but it can have multiple colors.

Overall main point and overall purpose
-
Like you've already done and what there have said. I'd recommend looking at lstreports and examining the finance and debt for the schools you are looking at. There are a lot of paths to big law, some more likely than others. T 14 is a great way to g…

MP RC questions almost always have an answer that is a main point of one the paragraphs vs the entire passage.
-
Be sure to find the line numbers during BR and that should keep you on track.
-
I'm a fan of this method. Skim for the Passage A questions and also do the "both would agree/disagree" many times you can get to the right answer with just one passage or down to 2 ACs before reading passage B. I treat them like agree/disagree LR q…

It should be available in the Webinar area and I think she has it on you tube too. A google search should direct you to the right place

@lsatplaylist said: GREs have ScoreSelect, where candidates who take the GRE more than once can pick what scores they want to report, which the LSAT obviously doesn't have. Has anyone seen articles on this? But even with this schools require…

The debt is stressful. BU had a good calculator that helps give realistic expectations. They shared it with us at ASD and ironically a big reason why I decided to withdraw. It factors in loan fees and interest. http://www.bu.edu/law/admissions/finan…

Lots of app this cycle. My longest wait was Nov 1 to Feb 21 and it was an admitance. It's just a weird cycle (and they were NOT holding for an LSAT score). Just hold tight.
-
It looks like each law firm had the same web developer and the just copied each site with minimal personalization. They all have the same pop ups, layouts and whatnot.
-
Because there were so many applications this cycle, many schools are taking longer than usually. But most schools say it will be 8-12 weeks to hear back. It looks like 10 weeks ago would have been mid February, did you take the Feb LSAT? If so they…
-
Yep. It's listed on the course page starter is 3 months and Ultimate is 12 months. Plus you can buy extra time if you need it and when prep test get released you can add those as well and that adds time too
-
Nope you're fine.
-
I've had 3 /4 scholarships all change the smallest one was a 5k total bump the 2 others have been 5k a year. I then reached out again after seat deposits and had another 5k bump. The only "no" has been from Fordham and Emory doesn't reconsider schol…
-
You might also get a nice bump as a URM. But improving your LSAT will always help

There's actually an ABA booklet called "Mental Health for Law Students and the People that Care about them" I picked up a copy at Emory during my Admitted student visit, they had them printed out but since it's an ABA document it might be available.…

You can submit it through CAS as long as you haven't reach the limit for LORs for that school
-
Seat deposits aren't due yet for those schools so perhaps that will be soon Fordhams is April 16 and ASD is the 15th.
-
If you're admitted after a seat deposits passed usually you'll just owe a deposit soon after acceptance or you'll need to make a larger deposit at the 2nd deposit deadline. It varies. One thing for sure is that not being accept by 1st seat deposit …
