Did you do a Why GWU? If you don't feel like you showed that you were an especially good fit there, and they admitted you with a lot of money (congrats!!! BTW) then I could see a more competitive school, particularly if you show that you're a good f…
Did you talk about writing an addendum with the Sr. Consultant? Depending on the reason for the cancels, schools could even overlook the cancels en mass.
Did they say you shouldn't, even as a reach? Going off @calcal101 @goingfor99th and @"Accounts…

I got an email from a law school 2 hours ago saying scores are coming out next week.
Oooooooooh! That's interesting. Hopefully that'll liberate us from all this craziness for three days.
What's the breakdown for your sections?
Do you notice is you are starting to only get the more difficult questions wrong? If not, then keep pressing on the fundamentals. If so, then you are on pace. When that happens for LR, focus on breaking it d…
I totally understand that feeling! I would study for extended periods of time and feel like I got nothing out of it. It was only when I'd go for a walk or the gym afterwards that I could let all the info digest. Suddenly, I'd realize a simple/fundam…
Going on @"Jonah Chadwick Griego" ... I'd try getting a few more PTs before deciding. If your numbers are consistent or better, then go for June. LG can definitely be mastered between now and then given the amount of time you can allot. From the LG…
@jyarmo I've left it blank if it's a total skip. If I was stuck between answers then I would put whatever I was leaning towards.
If you leave it blank, just be careful that you don't bubble in the wrong question number.
I made the switch too, and was initially uneasy. It does same me time, not sure all that much.
Just as accurate so long as you don't rush, which probably goes for the one-by-one method.
I actually liked it for LGs because I had to go back to earl…
No way! They put those on to try and get people to they've given offers to to accept; a wine and dine of their top admittees. But there's still a lot of movement for class composition. Plus, some admit days are laughingly small.
Keep those fingers …
@Mooseontheloose
Absolutely, but it probably wouldn't make for a dramatic swing.
For example, when I took the LSAT this February it seemed like there were fewer hard PSA and PF questions. Those were consistently the most difficult for me. But I l…
What kind of public interest law? If you want to specialize it a specific issue then it's worth also considering the centers and faculty research specialties. For example, Harvard has resources for religious discrimination and islamaphobia that is u…
Going off what @akistotle and @"Seeking Perfection" wrote, I asked 9 of the T14 representatives about things related to a graduate degree at an LSAC forum (I'm finishing a PhD and wanted to see how not to look like a perpetual life student lol). The…
@westcoastbestcoast I think I was about 3.5 in honors classes, not in STEM.
I noticed the numerical cutout for an A- is a 93, whereas where I went it was 94.49. Alas, most of my A-'s were 94's. But that's probably not something for an addendum eith…
I tried doing back-back PTs and it never worked well. My brain would fry without the spacing, such that the second exam was not consistent with any stand alone PT. If you could do a Friday night and a Sunday then it might be okay, but you have plent…

I had 3 LRs. Can someone confirm if the two real LRs were 25 questions and 25 questions? Someone told me that was the case, and it is rare considering the breakdown is usually 26 questions and 2…
Definitely try under the conditions that you'll be taking the real one under. I wouldn't shave time off until you are confident in your approaches to all the question types. Once you are and aren't making the same silly mistakes, then try dropping a…
An analogy is where the quality is similar, but the thing being analogized isn't part of the same group. I try to think if it as an explanatory metaphor or simile.
An example draws from the group (category, history, etc.) under discussion.
If the…
@"Seeking Perfection"
That's an interesting spin!
I'll be applying with a PhD and a publication or two under my belt, so hopefully that would compensate enough without using an addendum. The difference between would probably be about .5 if I had …
Totally agree with @"Habeas Porpoise" . I tried to combine to combine breakfast and lunch once, and felt like I was going to have a Thanksgiving post-meal nap during section 3.
@"Cant Get Right" is sooo right about the break. On test day, you only …

Hi everyone,
So this Monday will be my first time taking a PT at 12:30, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about what I should eat so that I don't get hungry. I'm imagining it will have to something he…

@cstrobel I'm asking in terms of the LSAT, this is not a general philosophical question as to what several means. if you have an example of an LR/LG question which uses several and an explanation of how to lawgic it out I w…

I know that many means some. Can several be used interchangeably with many?
Not necessarily, unless you know the overall population is small. Several votes in the context of a presidential election wouldn't generally be t…
