Yeah! It would be interesting to see if the new test still tracks law school performance as well as the old. I understand that law school requires a measure of endurance, for instance, while the LSAT now requires less. Could it be that…
Hi @"cynthiaabreu.ca"
I have my own particular stance on this, which it would be easier to convey here: https://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/27888/reasons-the-lsat-flex-is-harder-than-the-original-five-section-test
Thanks for asking, though!

@SufficientCondition I love the spreadsheet idea. I have my own ridiculously complex version that compares my schools, the costs/benefits, and so on. It's a lifesaver as responses are rolling in (albeit slowly).
As far …

Hey everyone,
I took the November lsat. I went through the whole application process and have some solid options for fall 2021. I am wondering if anyone has any advice on picking a school. Deposits are due April 15 s…

wow! This is great everyone. I think what I'll do is set up two standard times for folks to crash in and do a 3rd Blind Review. I have taken the most recent PTs, so we will likely start in the 30's and do two a week. …
This cycle winding down for me. Still possible I might get a qualifying offer, but please keep me in the loop starting in May. I got a 172 but may need to boost it over new medians if I am to get into T-10 with scholarship.
I guess I missed this, since the rankings seem to have come out yesterday? I think the changes are in the right direction in general. It's easy for me as an armchair analyst, but the one metric I wish they would adopt in lieu of loans and % in debt …

This question assumes the person has T-14 credentials. My answer is prefaced on a choice between T-14 sticker vs. lower-ranked full-ride.
Before law school I had a T-14 or bust mentality. After being waitlisted o…
I feel your pain @tonyahardzinski !!! I have commented on this subject extensively in the past. 7Sage might let you click on my handle and see those posts? I'm with you, sister! I guess the silver lining is that digital reading is more representativ…
Master's not included, sadly. I would love to hear from admissions professionals here whether schools will ever re-assess the relationship between CAS GPA (as currently figured) and law school and/or professional success!
Wow, great post @canihazJD ! I love data-driven projections, and will likely return after I've chewed on this later this weekend. STILL, just let me add a contraindication to my own zeal:

Has anyone else found their RC score dropped after they started taking online PTs? I started with physical LSATs, but switched to taking them online to simulate the flex layout. I feel like RC is much more difficult without bei…

Keep in mind the Yield Protect implications of retaking a 172. You are above or at all of these schools 75th percentile class scores I believe. If you retake a 172, schools may assume that you are gunning for HYS (who have med…

One of my biggest areas of weakness is the A/B Reading Passage. I know JY recommends starting with Passage A and answering every relevant question before moving to Passage B. Is this the best approach? I would love suggestion…

All I can say is I am very shocked. I applied to all my schools back in September, right when apps opened. I pretty much got into the schools I thought and was waitlisted at the reaches and rejected at a super reach. Except …

The font for the 7sage forum looks different or is just my computer?
Definitely, @kkole444 ! It's sharper at the edges. I can get used it, though.
I think you need to have a star to be a Sage. Sages have 170+ (like me--hooray), but also have that track record of posting serviceable information here.
