I have a 2.73 cGPA, so a 175 would really help me.
If you believe it, you can achieve it 🤷🏼‍♀️
I'm in a similar boat, and also really would like a mi…

“there really isn't much material out there for us to prepare for this“ - you can actually find every single northwestern question on TLS/Reddit/google. None of the questions should be surprises for anyone and one can prepare ans…

Hey there. I’m also delaying, but for family reasons. I’m branching out from the 7Sage material, since I also blew through nearly every prep test before 75. I’m going to retest in September and hopefully in the next 8 months …
@mjmonte17 said:
@Guillaume well that’s a relief to know, thanks for the response!
Yeah, I do the same thing too, and well... can't promise anything for your case, but so far it hasn't been bad for me. You can always request a manual review …
I wish I could say more, and I know it feels unfair, but I don't think you should write an addendum about it unless you really think it was an extraordinary circumstance that deserves the attention of the admissions team. Otherwise, you risk appeari…

Dear you don’t know how much your advice has helped me! I sat through the test and did my best. Bringing DayQuil and zicam definitely helped me get through it. It was a hard test but I think I did ok, especi…
What you're experiencing is the gap between knowing something, and mastering something. You're very right when you talk about the difference between doing the questions timed and doing them without pressure. The difference is huge, and bigger for so…
Difficulty will always be similar. It's a curved test, after all. The fundamentals will also always be the same, so focus on your core competence. But the focus will be different. If you search the forums for changes in the new tests, you should be …
@BlindReviewer said:
@Bamboosprout You can bring an analog watch, so I just pace myself based on that. And yeah, it varies depending on the passage but in general if I'm going way over time then I'll know I need to really hurry up if I'm going…
@BlindReviewer said:
Recently I've been playing with reading speed and have started spending more time up front on the passage and going through the questions faster, but sometimes I do feel what you're saying -- I start becoming too lax with …
@keepcalmandneuron said:
Wait so do you mean every reading passage with 30 minutes and not 35? I'm confused
Not exactly. What I mean, is to have the feeling of that 30minutes call going into every passage. Imagine that 5minutes left warning…
@FixedDice said:
@Bamboosprout Thank you!
@AudaciousRed Precisely because there are less applicants to choose from, I would think. If no law school is willing to reduce its class size, a smaller pool of applicants would mean that there is a…
@FixedDice said:
@john1roger Thank you!
@BinghamtonDave Thank you! I was busy thinking about the time frame after about 10 seconds of joy and relief.
@oshun1 Thank you! I was starting to seriously doubt my prospects. So apparently I'm no…
If you fail now, at least you know you tried and simply failed. Failure is ok. Every closed door is just a reminder to all the other paths you have, and look at all the friends you've made on the way, jumping to help you. If humans were meant to suc…

So from the sounds of it, it sounds like some LLMs provide specialized, practical training, and allow you to meet more peers from the international community.

Moreover, the job market for lawyers isn’t more competitive than ever. At least not relatively speaking. Arguably, it was at its most competitive back in 2010-2011. The job market has actually been getting better for lawyers sinc…

Hey, sorry to ask a question instead of answering. I'm curious about the concept of the JD-LLM in international law, but don't understand the point. Can't you learn the exact same thing, and can't …
The thing I would say is that, it doesn't sound like you're truly ready to move on. It doesn't sound like you've sincerely internalized the possibility that you won't get into anywhere you like, and can move on, because if you have, then you wouldn'…
Hey, sorry to ask a question instead of answering. I'm curious about the concept of the JD-LLM in international law, but don't understand the point. Can't you learn the exact same thing, and can't you spend a semester abroad as a normal JD? What is …
This is an unfortunate circumstance, and there isn't a clear solution. I remember another 7sager choosing not to ED anywhere because she knew she wanted scholarship money, and that an ED can mess that up. Apparently, this is standard knowledge, so y…
I actually remember this question, and it taught me an important lessons. Definition matters in LSAT. Optimistic, by definition, doesn't mean you support something, and only means that you expect it to turn out successful. Supportive means that you …
