@Princess I think umich and uva's outcomes are similar enough that it becomes a matter or personal preference. UVA does better in the south and UMich places better in Midwest.

I've asked each school who they wanted me to send scholarship questions to. Different people for different organizations (director of admissions, director of financial aid, etc). Once I identify who to talk to, I send an em…

@hawaiihi I think what most of us means when we say take until you get your dream score is under the assumption that OP underperformed on test day. I think we can all agree that one take is ideal but sometimes people underperform on test day for rea…
It's a myth that schools average and has been dispelled many times. And as others said, take it until u get your dream score and don't sell yourself short.
I agree with the others that you will likely get multiple offers (a bit surprised that you haven't already with those great numbers) either by the end of March or off the waitlist. However, I would recommend taking a year off to work, not only becau…
Almost forgot, but you do not need to personalize your letter for each school. I think only Stanford asks for letters to directly address them, but that's not a requirement. Simply have your recommender write "to whom it may concern" or something to…
The structure of the letter should be about a page using a official school or company header depending on who your writer is. It does not need to say letter of recommendation on the actual letter (they'll know). There are good examples on Google.

A lot depends on what the exact scores are. A higher score that gets u above median is significantly more valuable than a slightly lower score that puts u below median for a early app. This is because USNEWS rankings only counts medians into their c…
Anedoctal of course, but went complete for Columbia early Feb/late Jan and got in recently. This is a slow cycle so late apps really aren't as punishing as they have been for previous cycles.
I had an adjunct professor and it was probably my best letter. As @MissChanandler said, high school teacher is pushing it since law schools want to hear from what your college professors thoguht of your academic ability.
Applied in December/January and heard back from my last school this Tuesday. One school's turnaround was 7 days, and the longest was probably 2 months. So I'm guessing you'll have initial decisions by April. People who applied in September may have …
Anecdotal, but friend also had score drop and is having an amazing cycle and outperforming her numbers. Really don't think it should be a worry of yours. Also my advice is in my username and go ahead and reuse PTs.
@Bamboosprout sort of alluding to what @joezim425 said, you can save the material in the case of a LOCI after waitlist or if you write a bad "why X" it can only hurt you while a good "why X" won't really move the needle. This is partly because the p…
To be honest, it really depends on your goal schools. If you're aiming T14 or something, then yeah I would recommend just applying early next cycle with a polished app. I am pretty sure each of those services do a free consultation session to make s…
If you're looking for in-person courses, I heard good things about Powerscore and Manhattanprep. 7sage, like others mentioned, seems to be sufficient for your goals as well, though it's online.
Echoing what @joezim425 said. My (perhaps incomplete) understanding of Why X statements from other forums is that they're for avoiding yield protection, but since the T6 don't yield protect, the statements are unnecessary. Also doesn't Columbia have…
Also to add on for anyone else in the same situation, I had to ask my abroad institution to snail mail the transcript directly to LSAC. GPA was not counted since it was not a full year. Never got asked about them in interviews or anywhere. Though yo…
From what I read, the superior rating is all that matters since you won't be helping or hurting their GPA medians. In other words, you have a bit less leeway with your LSAT score.
Oh perfect, yeah those are great guides too imo. I loved the LSAT trainer and thought the LR drilling for flaw type questions were amazing and gives a very good basis of everything. Powerscore LR is a lot more formulaic but I found the parallel reas…
Yeah I think it'll be worth your time to start learning the fundamentals again for a month or two. Manhattenprep LR and RC books may be of interest to you. And having 7sage drilling exercises by question type should help you get your LR to improve a…
