Absolutely love this! Definitely have to always keep fighting, which the LSAT makes really hard to do at times. Congrats and best of luck in law school
Thank you It actually is my number one bc of its location and community. I know I want to stay in CA (I grew up in LA and already spent enough time on the east coast after college when I worked in NYC for a few years haha). And I really prioritize …
I experienced a four-hour delay at my test center. I ended up leaving during the break because I realized my concentration level wasn’t the same after such a long delay. I reached out to LSAC regarding a make-up test or at least removing the cancele…
You only have to complete the writing section once. The option to complete it becomes available after your first time taking the LSAT. At that point, you can take it whenever you want. Just try to do it before you submit apps so there isn't a delay.
I have the same question. I’m also wondering if it’s okay to combine addendums/additional statements in apps that provide the option to upload only one additional document.
It might depend on the school. I've heard some admissions reps say that they don't really bother looking at your old PS, unless you refer to it or something.
I emailed lsaccomplaint@lsac.org the night of the delay asking to be scheduled for the makeup test and they never responded. I called today and they initially just said no because I sat for the test, even though I left during the break and canceled …
Thank you for this thread. It's really helpful to know how much time people have spent studying so that you can set realistic expectations/know that it really depends on your individual circumstances. As I was planning my study schedule, I kept read…
I don't think it's necessary to know what kind of law you want to practice. In fact, I've heard admissions officers say that it can actually hurt your application if you claim to be passionate about something but lack relavant experience to support …
I'm in a very similar situation and have the same questions. I don't know if it's better to submit applications in December or retake the LSAT in January and apply afterwards. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
@Lolo1996 I like that rule! Thank you for sharing.
@Logician Yes, very helpful to remember there are some easy freebies that shouldn’t be questioned! Pick it and move on!
I have the same problem. I tend to really overthink the easy questions, making them harder than they are. I’m still working on changing this, but I think what’s helped is taking a step back and remembering that there are easy questions and that thos…
@"a. valdez" I have a very similar experience! I worked in NYC after college for 2 years and got really homesick. I moved back home to LA in January and started working part-time in March, but quit in July to study full-time. I was planning to write…
I think it’s a good idea. One of the admissions reps at Stanford called it a miss opportunity to not do the optional essays (aside from the diversity one, which depends on your circumstance).
It will definitely change. I’ve been to a few admissions panels where deans at top schools made clear that they will definitely be looking at the writing portion now since it will be legible.
I’d say find a flexible job that allows you to work as little or as much as you want! That way you can prioritize studying when you want but also easily work when you need money or a break from studying. I’m substitute teaching, and I absolutely lov…
I agree with the previous comment. What really helped me in LR was knowing when to skip (make sure to flag the question when you skip so it’s easy to get back to). Give each question a sincere effort and flag the ones that give you trouble/are going…
I think it's more beneficial to keep everything digital since it builds your comfort with the digital version. The only paper I use is scratch paper for games.
I'm in the same boat. I registered for the September LSAT and plan to cancel my July score if it's not in the 160s & register for October as well. I plan to retake both September and October or just one; it really depends where my diag score is …
