Sorry to bring this back on topic for a sec. Do you guys think its worth buying the Superprep II book just for C2 (its the only released LSAT I don't have).

Not unless you're getting perfect raw scores on retakes of newer tests. C2 is so old it isn't predictive, so it doesn't have that comparative advantage over retakes of new tests. If there are questions you get wrong on newer tests, there are things you can learn from those tests, and that will be more similar to the current tests.

Eh don't think this is right? I was under the impression C2 was a 2015 or 2016 test

I fully accept that I could be wrong. I might be thinking of Preptest C which was from '99 or '00 IIRC

You're definitely correct on C1, I just think I remember seeing C2 between like 75 and 76 or 76 and 77 on 7Sage's chronological list

Spivey is predicting a big uptick in applicants and in applicants with high scores. Also says it shouldn't make admissions more difficult but I can't help but believe that us splitters are gonna struggle a bit if true.

C2 was released in 2015, but no one knows the exact date as it was previously undisclosed. Probably somewhere after 62 and 63 (2010/11), the other tests in Superprep II.

C2 is different from C, which was published in the original Superprep and is from February 2000.

Splitter with a high LSAT and I don't see how this won't hurt us when it comes to getting into the most competitive schools

[principalagent]

More incentive for splitters to apply early and miss the rush it seems.

[Mint-Berry_Crunch]

Yeah I think after years of shrinking class sizes (i.e. Revenue) schools will probably be looking to increase class sizes. Well still perform at our numbers

"Sounds like rough news if you are an applicant, right? But there is a silver lining. It won’t necessarily mean more rigorous admissions. Schools may use an increase in numbers to add more students in their entering classes — as a trend for law schools is to fluctuate the class size relative to the applicant pool."

Yeah. Splitter here. But I'm thinking that a non-trad splitter still has a shot. It seems like they're implying that there's an increase in KJD's and I feel like some schools look at the two populations differently, no?

Officially hit 101 pages so, raw score that would guarantee 180, is it a sign?

As we all know raw scores vary wildly. The only way to guarantee 180s for everyone is to get to 180 pages

We still have 6 days, we'll be fine

I'm not worried about acceptances, I'm worried about $$$. Are schools going to dish out to splitters to keep their LSAT median up if there are more high score applicants in general?

I'm with you on this. I'm not trying to get into a T-14, but this could be rough on the more competitive schools I am applying to. But I'm still a special snowflake, right? (non-trad)

[principalagent]

NO. Keep faith that it's four days or less.

Schools still have to "outbid" each other so I wouldn't expect scholly offers to go down substantially, especially in a year when we're expecting an increase in class sizes.

OMG... so apparently Rockies fans refer to days with games where Jon Gray is scheduled to play as "Gray Day." This is happening tonight and "#GrayDay" is now showing up on twitter. The universe hates us...

I still feel strongly that today is Gray Day.

Oh it's happening. Today is the day.

I hope so </3. I guess we all can benefit from the retake options though and crush September. Use Dec/Feb and even June to get off waitlists or to get more $$$

[principalagent]

I actually didn't really realize how to check if it was gray day or not, but now that I know, I hate this even more. #ignoranceisbliss

ps it's not gray yet

[mwells56]

What time does official #GrayWatch start? ~4:30-5:00ish?

Buried the lede there a bit

We need a rule that every post needs a gray day status update

update: NOT GRAY

[Mint-Berry_Crunch]

Let's get off topic pls



I think I could take 10 fourth graders.



The issue that gets overlooked is that if they swarm you, it'll be hard to break free to get some solid hits in. If two or 3 jump your back you could easily get locked up.

Pls no, I don't think I can take seeing the word "gray" this frequently...

4:00. I'm going to see Baby Driver to get my mind off of all the craziness.
