One take is definitely not indicative of a limit, even though your GRE conversion is the same score. They really are completely different tests. I retook a 169 (my first take), so I'm a little bit biased, but I think that if you can study a bit more…
I don't think it would hurt to keep it. Like you said, it's a solid score, and it's nice to have one on record that you can fall back on if need be. It's impossible to say without knowing your GPA, but it's a good score for T30 admissions/scholarshi…
As long as you have academic letters in addition to this one, I don't think there's a problem at all. If your boss is comfortable with you using the letter in the future but her writing it now, I think that's fine. Generally, good letters are specif…
The common wisdom is that this is a bad idea. If your LSAT isn't where it needs to be, then you already know the answer to your question and it would be a waste of their time to reach out to them about it, even if you were very polite and well inten…
If UVA with money is your ultimate goal, I would consider retaking. If you are okay with no scholarship, then ED might be a good idea. What are your reasons for choosing UVA for ED above any other school? ED at Northwestern comes with a scholarship.…
Some schools ask for ALL work experience, and I wouldn’t risk the dishonesty of not including it. Just read each school’s instructions and leave it off where you can, and if it’s an “all experience” situation include it. Some schools also ask for an…
Definitely break up your hours into chunks if you can. Is it possible to study in a different location? Maybe a cafe where there would be a bit more noise and light to keep you awake (and bonus, help you prepare for test day distractions)?
It's pretty important to have at least one academic recommender. I would ask all of the people that you mentioned. There's always a chance that someone will be slow to respond/send in the letter and it's good to have backups
It's nice when your test is disclosed because you can see what problems you got wrong and that can help you study if you want to retake, but other than that, it really doesn't matter. I wouldn't base my decision of when to take the LSAT on whether o…
Have you done the CC portions for those yet? It never hurts to rewatch the lessons, but if you feel like you've already gotten a lot out of them then definitely drill the heck out of them.
What's your LG average? Some strategy would probably help b…
The position of your recommender/their title means almost nothing. What is important is that they oversaw your academic work and can speak to its merit. I would definitely ask her
Generally, you should go through the syllabus in order because lessons do build off of one another. I know this isn't super helpful, but the best way to increase scores in RC is really just to practice a ton. As far as free resources, if you're look…
It depends on what your goals and weaknesses are. Generally, one PT per week with a day or two of blind review and then a couple days drilling whatever weaknesses that PT revealed is a pretty good approach.
I would start as soon as you're done with the CC. You can do the timed section, make a note of where you ran out of time, and then still finish the section and write down how much you go over on time. That way you're still using all of the material …
I think it depends on your goals and where you are currently. How many hours a day are you spending studying right now, and how much more would you have to study to catch up? Have you taken a diagnostic? If so, what was the score and what is your go…
Since the median is a true median and not an average, a below median LSAT has the same effect on a school's median no matter how far below it is. So 1-2 points below hurts their median as much as 3-4 points would. Having said that, because your GPA …
October is not too late to apply- you would still be on time/slightly early I think. It's pretty unrealistic to aim for an eighteen + point improvement in that amount of time though, especially if you're also working on the rest of your application …
The only thing you have to lose by applying to T14 schools is the cost of the application fee and the time spent preparing the apps. I'd say focus on the LSAT, shoot your shot, and be willing to apply broadly
