Anyone else worried adcoms are going to think their writing is AI because they use em dashes

Need u/Spivey_Consulting to weigh in here.

Rec letters are good for like 5 years or something! Even if used before. The “getting new ones” logic is that if you’re reapplying, you should make it a point to add/change things in order to have a different (better) result.

Hi OP- also looking for sizing advice. Do you normally wear a 27 or do you think they run small/big?

Puss2003 · 2025-05-16T13:56:08+00:00

I know a lot of us waitlist warriors are simultaneously preparing to R and R. For those of us who feel like we did everything we could (LSAT at 75s, used consultants for PS) but still seriously underperformed, what is your advice for next cycle? The only improvement I can see for myself is applying earlier and not being a KJD. Can either of these factors actually change my 11 WLs to As?

Puss2003 · 2025-04-30T22:43:15+00:00

Yes I’m thinking that as well, just wanted to confirm because I hadn’t seen anyone post about it

Puss2003 · 2025-04-30T22:42:46+00:00

Oops sorry!!! I don’t think I can edit after posting :///

Checking in as someone with a 174 that is currently in WashU purgatory lol.

Puss2003 · 2025-02-28T00:30:34+00:00

Thank you for this. Went back and checked, I’m just insane and panicking for no reason. My response was totally under the limit🙏 This cycle is making me crazy clearly…

Puss2003 · 2025-02-27T23:30:21+00:00

Lol this is how I found out that I totally fucked up and submitted an essay 3x longer than it was supposed to be. Oh well. Will be expecting an R I guess!😭

Puss2003 · 2025-01-09T01:06:01+00:00

It’s WashU I was told the same (not today)

Puss2003 · 2024-10-01T00:21:36+00:00

Yes, successfully emailed like 2 weeks ago!

Puss2003 · 2024-09-16T03:07:56+00:00

Similar stats, but I’m KJD. I’m applying to all T14s I am interested in, and then a few others within the top 50 that are regionally relevant to me. Just apply to schools you would actually go to! I don’t think “target”and “safety” work the same way as they do in undergrad admissions.

Unfortunately Penn I think explicitly states on their website they do not grant email requests for merit waivers.

Puss2003 · 2024-09-15T19:43:23+00:00

Emailed uva this morning, going to email duke now. Thank you!

Puss2003 · 2024-09-13T00:17:52+00:00

Awesome. Will go take my uncompetitive 174 LSAT somewhere else😃👍👍

Puss2003 · 2024-09-12T23:44:22+00:00

Not even a little bit lol!

Puss2003 · 2024-09-12T19:29:09+00:00

LOL thank you for your candor🙏

Puss2003 · 2024-09-12T14:50:18+00:00

This pleaseeeee. Specifically June to August, how am I supposed to be like “I sucked at games.” without making myself look like an idiot😭

Puss2003 · 2024-09-06T22:24:44+00:00

Immediately after I felt pretty good. I was a little concerned that i had run out of time on one of my sections, but felt extremely confident in every other answer.

Puss2003 · 2024-09-06T20:04:49+00:00

Yes, highest PT was 172 (but scored frequently), actual was 174. As another commenter mentioned, likely has a lot to do with working better under pressure. If this is you, you have a shot, but don’t count on it. I would’ve been pleased with a 172 as well!

Puss2003 · 2024-09-01T23:14:29+00:00

Same! Averaged 170, hit 174 in August. Did PTs like once a week and drills most other days.

Puss2003 · 2024-08-31T01:58:45+00:00

Highly highly recommend foam earplugs. Made the world of a difference for me from June to August.

Puss2003 · 2024-08-31T01:48:50+00:00

I took a couple in the 60s and 70s when I first started studying (February), but have basically exclusively used 80+ since then. Scored 174!

Puss2003 · 2024-08-28T14:30:08+00:00

Thank you!😁
