It's not all about LSAT score but it still helps... GPA difference might have something to do with it too but that is just me speculating. Regardless soliciting waivers can also have good results.BitterSplitter wrote:I dont think its about his score.

I bet you'd be getting them if you had a 167 instead of a 166. Just saying. There is a huge difference between the 25% and median at Minnesota and there 75% isn't much higher. 158/167/168 or something along those lines.

I've already saved a good $600 from soliciting need-based waivers. (All 7 schools I requested them from granted me one.)

Re: December 2012 Re-takers
Manhattan LR completely pwned me last night. Which I guess is good. I thought I was at "bad at this but at least I sort of get it" when, in fact, I'm at "bad at this because I have no idea what I'm doing." I think I'm just going to have to keep re-reading chapter 8 and pray for a breakthrough.

I have 15 years work experience, two 166s, a sub 2.5 UGPA though . . . even if I am a URM.

Damn, I must have missed that. That's hardcore, Lenahan3.
I was going to visit my test center and PT, but I don't feel like it today. I guess that I will just PT and drill then.

I'm getting lots of talk from MN but no fee waiving. Which I suppose is smart of them because I'll probably apply anyway. Gabe I'm 3.66 164 with 5 years WE and getting mostly garbage TTTT emails. Good school emails have tended to not have fee waivers in them.HawkeyeGirl wrote:The fee waivers are reallllly weird. People with the same numbers definitely do not always get the same stuff.

I'm ditching the old PTs too. They suck.Wormfather wrote:Dear PTs older than 40:
Why have you been so mean to me? Your games are cruel, your LR is ambiguous and filled with EXCEPT questions. Everything about you is stank. I dont take you, I survive you. Its like going from Carlo from The Godfather, to Ike Turner to Chris Brown.
No, bafangool, you!
I'm getting married to PT68 in less than two weeks and you're making me question my love for it. I realize now that I'm into the newer more vibrant PTs, yeah they still play games but there's none of this unbalanced, undefined, in and out stuff. More of a one grouping, one ordering and then two of "something else for fun" types.
So you see, I'm walking away now, you're ruining my confidence. You make me beg for subzones. Seeing as how PT68 will be my final shot at making this work, this is goodbye forever. Best of luck.
Your's Truly,
Worm

Noodley's Guide was quite clear. 1-39 were good for drills. PT 40 - 67 were good for timed practice and full tests.

He got a 179. That's sufficient for me to follow his guide, albeit on a compressed timeline.Lenahan3 wrote:Are all of you guys following his guide?GabeQuixote wrote:Noodley's Guide was quite clear. 1-39 were good for drills. PT 40 - 67 were good for timed practice and full tests.

Re: December 2012 Re-takers
Sometimes things happen during the day that really make the LSAT feel less important.
I know most of you know this already, but I think keeping the right perspective on the LSAT can really bring clarity. In turn, that clarity can help you focus and let go of some of the stress from studying.
Hope everyone is having a nice day!

In a weird way, I love when I get that feeling. Now if only I could feel that way every time I go to bed, lol

You've put the first genuine smile on my face in the past 18 months.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
