Work experience goes to employability, academic EC's not so much... maybe more so ability to handle academic rigor, but at least at good schools, it's pretty hard to fail out. No one can really say what weight an adcom assigns any specific app's com…

Your acceptance/deposit is not a binding commitment to attend. You are free to pull out but just typically lose the deposit. Usually recommended you don't hold out banking on a WL pull.

DM me contact info. Happy to go through your data and troubleshoot.

IMO sub 160s scoring indicates gaps in foundational concepts. Based on your PT results, target the problem areas in the core curriculum and don't leave a section with less than comprehensive understanding. Refocus your PT efforts on the review of yo…

I've had a couple students that tried to do this unsuccessfully. Not that common an issue now (so not a lot of info) but I suspect it will become more common as the FLEX takes fade off into obscurity. My understanding is that the limits are hard... …

Law school grades are wildly unpredictable. Don't count on being at the top of your class, and even if you achieve it, don't overestimate its value. In many ways a median or even sub-median t14 grad will retain a huge advantage over the #1 at somepl…

I'd add that if at all possible get a copy of the letter so you can gauge strength. You don't want to submit a mediocre or redundant letter. It's also not uncommon for a professor to inadvertently recommend you in a way that is actually detrimental …

Why should they not consider you a yield risk? They don't need to be educated about their school, but you can tell them what about it makes it the place for you... or what about you allows them to be confident that if offered admission you will atte…

The first sentence says that "[t]he brains of identical twins are genetically identical."

He doesn't actually say Rotelle is too young and inexperienced. That's a jump the test writer is cueing you to make. But they're not the boss of us.

https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-lsat-writing-sample/ A google search will turn up a ton of other resources. I'm a big fan of CREAC structure for this... and familiarization will be useful for law school. If you grab some…

Let your scoring call your timeline... start studying now and as the test dates get closer you can determine whether you are ready or not.

I'd just start messaging people on linkedin. That way you can target people involved in things you'd like to write about.
-
Your goals and application package should determine how broadly you apply. You might also consider peer schools you wouldn't necessarily attend for scholarship leverage. I applied literally anywhere I could see myself attending during my first cycle…

I don't see anything wrong with your approach. Value extracted is more important than volume of material consumed. I think one PT a week with drilling to address issues indicated by your review is perfect. The majority of my clients come to me PT'in…

Either could work. Start outlining both and go with the one that allows you to craft a more compelling story. Also consider how well the PS topic connects to the rest of your app materials.
-
If this is your first take, your apps won't go complete without a score.

IMO you shouldn't move on from anything you don't have absolute command over. Even a question you got right contains tricks that may not have affected your performance in that question, but will be the reason you lose a point on another question. Be…

In terms of timed PTs, I think its completely reasonable to be able to break 170 with in 10-12 PTs and solidify scoring in the low 17x within 15-17. Of course not counting stuff you break up for drilling and foolproofing. IMO, it's not about the amo…

UNSWR has said they'll still rank those schools, no? Most of the info is made public on the ABA509. I imagine the methodology will just be adjusted.

Both will have conditional scholarships and neither have stellar placement. But neither are terrible either. I'd say if you want to practice in SD, go there, barring a massively better offer at Pepperdine. Regarding competition, it depends what jobs…

@"Saadia I" said: Will LSAC take that C- course into account for my GPA even though I was never given credit for that? Yes, if the grade shows up on the original institution's transcript, it will count. Probably the most common reason for a …

Efficiency is a balance of speed and accuracy—you want to collect as many points as you can as fast as you can. You can neither get questions wrong fast enough, nor get them correct slow enough to achieve a good score. In other words you want the ea…

No specific format, but format for readability and value as opposed to volume. Don't try to cram everything you think will be positive into it. Good examples here: https://hls.harvard.edu/jdadmissions/apply-to-harvard-law-school/jdapplicants/jd-appl…

I wouldn't. ED is generally for the school's benefit, allowing them to lock in preferable candidates while removing that candidate's bargaining power. I think it's a bad deal generally (aside from those that come with a solid guaranteed scholarship)…
-
You don't need nearly as many PT's as most people think... IMO one a week + one to break apart for drilling is enough. Its more important to make sure you are extracting all the value out of the content, particularly in terms of how you reacted to i…

You have the option to do another one, but it is not required.

See my reply here: https://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/32374/how-to-do-well-on-lg-section-on-a-first-try Basically just keep going. Anyone can perfect LG and really IMO there is no reason to take the test without being able to hit -0. If you …
