Congrats! If Gtown ED is binding, I would withdraw all of your other applications in support of other applicants.
The general template I used to withdraw was something to the effect of, "Dear X Law School Admissions, Thank you for your acceptance …
Whatever interface you are using, the font size is WAAAAAAYYYYYY too big.
Up front, the instruction material (Core Curriculum or CC as we call it) in 7Sage is the same across every tier level. Its a set package of instructional videos / lessons. Ho…
Any reason you are weighing the two 'outlier' scores in the 160's more than your reported average of 170's?
Have confidence in yourself. It sounds like to took 2 PTs in 2-3 days? If so, that's not a recipe for improvement. Lots of people (me includ…
2nd post on the same topic in less than 24 hours. Have you tried calling the admission offices at the school(s)? They may know the answer to this question...
Not sure if this is covered somewhere and tbh, its a purely curiosity driven question for me as I'm not taking it. However, how does uncertainty about which test (paper / digital) you actually receive play into the equation. As I understand the roll…
Found on the UC FAQ page:
In evaluating applications, the Admissions Committee relies on (1) the completed application form, (2) the report of LSAT scores, (3) undergraduate GPA and transcripts, (4) personal essay(s), and (5) recommendations. The C…
For me, it was all about location. I'm targeting two markets (where I live and where I want to live). Based on schools that service those two different areas, I applied to school where my stats have a reasonable chance of getting me in.
Like everyo…
Not an expert, but based on what I have seen offered, a conditional scholarship will place a certain percentage requirement (top 25/50/75% of class) whereas a good standing scholarship merely means you have to do well enough not to get kicked out (o…
@"Leah M B" I don't know if you have already hit submit on this one, but Case Western has sent me snail mail marketing almost every single week (after I unsubscribed to their email list). Its a running joke in my house now, "What did Case Western se…
You are worrying way too much about this. Profs writing letters of recommendation is "normal operations" for them. Send them an email, tell them what you are using the LOR(s) for, remind them what classes you took (subject and year) and grades your …
Most people report (my own x3 test testing experiences included) being allowed to place their watches on the desk. I do not believe any instructions / guidance provided by LSAC expressly prohibits the practice.
Some thoughts:
Are you dead set on applying late in this cycle? I ask because the March LSAT is very late for a lot of schools and actually past the application deadline for some. Your schedule seems a bit tight for maximizing your potential. If y…
@reversesplitter_lsat Given your last post and stated goals, here is some motivation for you. Even though you have a target school (and I am by no means trying to dissuade you from that school, just offering a few data points). With a 2.73 LSAC GPA …
Caught a nice acceptance to Iowa today. I was looking at their student profile and saw their 2017 student age range of 21-39. I'll be 47 when I start law school. Now, I'm all like

I'm going business casual, regardless of what I hear from other sources. I figure it cannot hurt to put forth a professional image.
FWIW, I'm also in my late 40's and spent 25 years in the military, so I tend to be overly conservative in my dress. …
I really can't speak to the "language" part of your question; however I cannot recommend fool proofing enough. I correctly answered 3 LG questions on my diagnostic. After a year of study and >100 fool proofed games, I went -3 on my final LSAT. Th…
Iowa. Its not even close.
I am accepted at my dream school. If I won the lottery and could buy my way into any school in the nation, I would still go to this school. However, I would not pay $150,000 to go to it. Or any other school.
FWIW, I would focus on the CC right now. Take it slow and methodically, with the priority being on learning and absorbing the information instead of speed. Don't worry about the timing / skipping aspects of the test right now (even the time limits /…

One school made me chuckle as they had my file recorded as 'waiting TOEFL score'. I'm English, live in England, and went to an English university...
I can definitely understand their concern as you probably speak En…
Good advice above. When I was studying for the LSAT, I found that I got easily distracted when I tried to study at home, so I would study at my local library. It was just quiet enough and put me in the "study" state of mind. I definitely went throug…
A couple of points:
If your target score is in the 160's, unless you experience debilitating test anxiety, I would not take a scored test "just for the experience". I did and the only thing that I got out of the experience was a test score that I …

Last year (I'm a re-applicant this year), I was able to negotiate UCLA's offer up just a bit using a full tuition offer from WUSTL. They declined matching it (no surprise there), but did raise my merit award by $10k. Also a…
Thanks for providing this. I will offer up results of my own negotiations after I have actually done some. I would offer that this might be considered early to begin negotiations. One former admissions officer I have spoken with said mid-February fe…
