@karko2525 That's super school-specific! Some in the app ask you if you want to have your app held till a future date. Some schools say they won't wait for anything (test scores, LOR, etc) and start reviewing the app as soon as it's submitted. Try t…
I didn't list deans list at all in any of my applications. I got it every single semester, and someone would be able to look at my GPA and kind of tell that. Having 8 entries for deans list wouldn't have added much to my application and I preferred …
I've retaken full-length PTs, individual questions, sections, etc and still found the experience valuable. For RC and LR, I'm sure you will only have a handful of questions "memorized" if you re-take one of your first ever PTs as opposed to a PT you…
That wording seems weird, I feel like they are just trying to ask if you have already committed elsewhere. Not sure if simply applying ED elsewhere fulfills that commitment because you might get deferred to RD at the other school? However I'd answer…
I second that you should focus on newer games if you're short on time specifically. If you're taking the LSAT in like a year, starting 1-35 is totally fine. Newer games are a lot more representative of what you're likely to get. For one reason, they…
Also wanted to add - if a school offers a substantial ED scholarship (like Northwestern) and you'd genuinely want to go there, then it's a great choice!
From what I have heard from a couple of schools on webinars, applying ED gives you a crumb of an advantage over applying RD. Schools won't admit an underqualified applicant just because they are ED. Applying ED also takes away your ability to negoti…
I think you should skip book club because it's a hobby (like I wouldn't put working out on a law school app). Unless the question seems like it's specifically asking for hobbies/what you do in free time, in which case include it!
Why not keep all of them? It seems like you could combine them all into one bullet point (or a couple) under your education section. If you are short on space and looking to decide what to keep/cut
Look at the Khan Academy page on it, it's really brief. The gist of it is to have 1 paragraph arguing your side, 1 paragraph arguing against the other side.
Things are more likely to get better than worse (esp with vaccine) in Fall 2021 compared to Fall 2020, so I would say look at what law schools are doing now and assume it will be either that or slightly better in the fall. I don't think a school tha…

Reviewing this helped me!
You could always reach out to your previous internship supervisor and have that letter as backup while you wait for a professor to send a letter. I have heard that it can seem like a red flag for a recent grad to have 0 academic references. How much…
Schools only count the highest score for the most part. Don't waste your energy and money by canceling the test. Lots of people think the sections feel like a blur and then do surprisingly well. Keep studying for January but don't cancel this one
Hey! I think you will be fine not following the prompt exactly. For the Optional Essay 1 "You may submit an essay providing additional information about why you have chosen to apply to law school in general and Duke in particular." I ignored the "wh…
Burn out is normal, my last PT before my actual test was 12 points lower than my actual test score. Probably because I just didn't want to take it and forced myself to take it to say I completed all the tests in the 80s. I would recommend easing up …
The writing section only takes half an hour and I don't think you need to prep much for it (if you have taken essay-based tests before in college and are comfortable writing). I spent like 5 minutes reading the Khan Academy page about the writing an…
You don't have to run through all of them, but I'd definitely recommend doing at least a handful. Even if you aren't likely to get a Misc game, practicing Misc games will help you get better at Non-Misc games that may have a twist or a strange/unexp…
I disagree with the above user. You had incremental increases in your score, not one massive leap. I've heard deans say they assume that score increases come from studying more and don't want to read an addendum that just says "I studied." Unless th…
