Just do it
-
I wouldn’t take your scores from them too seriously, but definitely still do them because a lot of the best takers I know even reuse pt’s...that’s the point to familiarize yourself with the format of the test and teach yourself to see the patterns b…

Cbd helps a lot

Having a sharp pencil and being properly dressed
-
Also, a professor of mine told me that it’s important to remember to sleep, eat well, exercise and have sex when you’re studying for these sort of entrance exams.
-
Oh very obviously, most people experience at least some degree of depression and burnout while studying for the LSAT or even more generally while studying for any hard entrance exam. The reason why is because it’s meant to be a test that weeds out …
-
Realistically, that’s really damn good and I would honestly just try to maintain that so you can score something close to that on test day. You don’t necessarily have to hit 170’s in your pt’s to hit 170+ on the real thing just some food for thought…

I personally think the major benefit of moving to an electronic platform is more privacy; well, unless they administer the tests on tablets and still require you take it in a room filled with a bunch of people. I personally hate having to take the t…

Go ahead and try it again! But either way a 165 is a very good score and is generally the 90th percentile which means you beat 90 percent of people taking the test- a self selefecting group of presumably highly intelligent and motivated students. Yo…

@ebalde1234 said: Meh the lsat is being phased out by the GRE by Harvard and other us based schools. I’ve looked into multiple studies to see if Lsat score is a predictor of Law school success- most studies say no. I think for most it’s just a…

@Ohnoeshalpme said: I think that the predictive power of the LSAT resides in the level of dedication that it requires. A score in the 170's usually doesn't happen by accident, and even the smartest among us will fail to reach the 170's without…

Just retake it- you just had an off day. Also,159 really isn’t that bad at all. Disappointing based on your results? Sure. But a 159 is still a decent baseline score. It’s so cliche but you hear all this hype on forums and sometimes from your peers …
-
Well I can say that quite a few students begin studying for the LSAT in their junior and senior year of college; studying for entrance exams while you’re an undergraduate is not totally uncommon and this is actually far more common the higher you go…

I think you would have a better shot if you apply to Yale SOM first and then apply to Yale Law
-
You could always try to apply to Yale SOM first since you’re gpa is within its 80 percent range and then do a JD/MBA. Are you good at math? The GRE is pretty easy you should be able to score high.
-
Well I’m an undergrad in the business school at George Washington University; the law students are considered big shots around here and honestly the law school here looks really dope- I’ve been inside Yale Law School as well since I spent a few mont…
-
What is meant by “big law?” You mean for like people that become senators and presidents?
-
I am a URM- my thoughts are see if you can handle the coursework and GW and see how well you do. If you find out you’re ha doing the work and doing wel then maybe go for a JD at a t14. It’s for an MS in Government Contracts
-
Worst case scenario the program is a bit difficult and or I find out earning a JD really isn’t for me...which may not necessarily be a worst case scenario depending on how that influences my career or personal drive. Best case scenario I do very wel…
-
Hey thanks for the feedback guys! GW is offering a specialized masters program awarded by the business school; however, half of the classes are taken in the law school. I was interested in pursuing this MS degree because it looks like a chance to ac…

And my goals are to a J.D / M.B.A- I am currently pursuing a B.B.A in business economics and public policy. I am passionate about the environment and understanding the role of public policy on corporate social responsibility.
-
@Rtwrtw8 Yeah I was gonna say don't you think there's something off with comparing the two since the GRE General has math? I would think percentiles matter more...it apparently says 162.
-
Nope
-
Hey Ron so my questions are 1. LSAT scores aren't as indicative of law school performance as thought? Now when I ask I don't mean at all to put down the merit of a high LSAT score- of course I still consider these greatly important to the extent t…
-
Well I met a1L at Georgetown the other day who gave me a tour of GULC (I'm a senior George Washington) and I asked him "what if my g.p.a is subpar?" He honestly said to me "Well I got in with a low g.p.a but I had a good LSAT score and good rec lett…

What sections are slowing you down? One reason BR scores and timed PT's may be marginally different is because of fluctuations in LG scores. LG is one of the sections, IMO, that you really want to be careful and meticulous with how you study untimed…
-
Oh well then I understand. Sometimes it's better to just assume the worst but I mean still apply because you never know and that's still a very very good score.
-
Some reading comp passages are just brutal like that- I feel like with the LR section you eventually become really familiar with the traps and at some point everything clicks. RC can be way more fickle because some passage you just get right away- d…

Isn't that a really good score though? I mean I had a mentor who got into YLS from Tufts with a 165 and magna cum laude

Hey guys just curious...what is "foolproofing?"
