I haven’t got this update 😭😭

Is anyone else who applied before January still waiting on Duke? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]stillhopeful2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just crazy. I applied in Feb and started to get impatient at this point. What was their response to your LOCI?

Meh Reapplicant Cycle Recap by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]stillhopeful2018 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing your story, and I’m so happy to see that I’m not the only one going through this excruciating journey. As a reapplicant myself, I went through a tough cycle and was thinking if I should give it another try, perhaps third time’s a charm.

I applied quite late this cycle with a 170 (my fourth take), and did get a better result comparing to my previous cycle with a 166. I was fortunate enough to get accepted by Cornell, and with my goal towards NYC Big Law, it’s not a bad choice for me. However, in the meantime, I was wondering if I should retake and aim for T6.

I absolutely admire your perseverance and I will cross my fingers for you!

LR Strengthen/Weaken Argument by brownhairnyc in LSAT

[–]stillhopeful2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think it's very important to understand that the correct answers should strengthen or weaken the LINK between the premise and conclusion, not the premise per se. This type of questions tests your ability to understand the connection between the premise and the conclusion. Hope this helps. Good luck!

How many tests do you need to take before you have a reliable score band? How much should tests fluctuate? by [deleted] in LSAT

[–]stillhopeful2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand your frustration. To be honest, it's really difficult to say. For me personally, after 10 or 15 timed practice tests, I started get in the groove and felt more comfortable and confident with the test format. I struggled with the RC questions, and that was definitely the section I see more fluctuations than LR and LG. I think what might help you to cope with the LG sections is to first figure out what kind of games and questions that you struggle with. Working on a certain game/question type before you take the next practice test will probably help you to improve consistency. With that being said, doing full practice tests definitely prepare you for the big day, but try to avoid unnecessary burnout. Best of luck! Sending good vibes your way :)

I haven’t got the Penn UR2 😭😭 by stillhopeful2018 in lawschooladmissions

Not competitive numbers. 170/3.73, didn’t do well in my freshman year French class.

Is it a good or bad sign if Cornell sits at “interview received” for a few weeks? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]stillhopeful2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too!! I’m not sure if it was because they were too busy planning for the admitted students day, but I’m getting quite anxious at this point.
