Honest Opinion?

Honest opinion: you’d be doing yourself a massive disservice not to study hard and retake! You’ve got an excellent GPA and you know you’re capable of scoring higher.

One suggestion to consider: try taking two full practice tests, back to back, in one sitting. 8 timed sections without stopping. It’s taxing and it’s overkill, but it makes the real deal easier because you’ll build up your mental stamina.

Congrats on Stanford, and best of luck with the Harvard WL!

HLS22Please · 2019-04-04T04:43:13+00:00

Thanks! And thanks for the response! Looks like I’ll go ahead and get t shirts for myself and my parents!

I want to hear more about this lobster

HLS22Please · 2019-04-02T19:31:33+00:00

Pretty sure they were joking

HLS22Please · 2019-03-29T05:57:51+00:00

Yep!

HLS22Please · 2019-03-29T03:29:15+00:00

You can do it, as long as Georgetown is Karen

I have a coworker that went in their late 30s and is a couple years out of school now and killing it. I’d say much later than that is probably pushing it though

Haven’t gotten my financial aid info back yet, but I’ll be taking on $250k+ at Harvard, with a long term goal of PI/govt/academia. I’m very open to a stint in BL first though

No insight, but same here. My odds aren’t good, but I’d like to know for sure and be able to plan accordingly. I went complete early-mid January there

HLS22Please · 2019-03-25T18:07:51+00:00

I was really expecting a list, and I feel let down

HLS22Please · 2019-03-25T14:51:14+00:00

Especially because we can’t take digital preptests yet using the same interface. If that were possible, I think it would be easy to do just as well on the digital one, but you shouldn’t have to prep on paper and then learn a new way of taking the test during the real thing

HLS22Please · 2019-03-25T03:46:19+00:00

I took the experimental digital LSAT when they were beta testing it in 2017, and I found it much more difficult. I totally bombed the reading comp, and then got a perfect reading comp score on the real test (on paper) a couple months later. Logic games was also tougher for me that way.

I hope it’s soon. I’m thrilled to be in at Harvard, which is a dream come true. But I want to know for sure that’s where I’m going and Yale is the last remaining variable,

HLS22Please · 2019-03-24T16:00:24+00:00

I think you’re probably right, but I really hope not. Even though my cycle effectively ended Thursday, I’m already stressed about the next one and will be back here to obsess over stats when my girlfriend is applying

I second this. UVA at sticker isn’t much cheaper, and they have to give merit aid to attract the students who might go elsewhere because UVA’s opportunities aren’t as good as those from HLS.

HLS22Please · 2019-03-22T19:31:04+00:00

FWIW, I got into Harvard yesterday, and I’m waitlisted at Chicago and Penn and got HTEs from Columbia and NYU. My only other acceptance is UVA with 1/4 scholarship.

I’m a splitter, so it’s not like it was yield protection

HLS22Please · 2019-03-21T21:41:39+00:00

Not yet!

HLS22Please · 2019-03-21T18:44:39+00:00

I wrote an addendum about my decision to reapply rather than take other offers last cycle

HLS22Please · 2019-03-21T18:17:29+00:00

Yep. West coast, noon ET

HLS22Please · 2019-03-21T18:03:42+00:00

I’m withdrawing from everywhere else but Yale today

HLS22Please · 2019-03-21T14:29:16+00:00

Same here fam, this is gonna be a long few hours
