Same thing! Although, ironically enough, I did well on that game in PT...

The games they choose are kind of interesting...they are actually my favorite part! I am going to retake--in June actually. I figured it was worth a shot. What did you do between your retakes to increase your score?

I took a break. I studied so hard for the September 2009 LSAT. Used the bibles, took 32 PT's under exact conditions and went over all my mistakes after grading my PT's. I was so distaught when I received my September score, I decided to take a break from LSAT prep during October. I started up again in November and there was a big improvement in my PT scores. However, they didnt fully translate to my December score, but I think rest helped. Not doing anythign LSAT related for a while.

Im not sure how long its been for you. Ive always wanted to take a course, but its ridiculously expensive. Im not sure how much it would help, but I figure that if rigorous self study didnt help a lot, maybe a little guided study would help. Take a course if its at all possible.

Just found this thread! I am on the PT/FT waitlist as well. Does anyone know where they will be going if they are not taken? I will be attending McGeorge. Good luck to all! I will keep you posted on my status!

This old dog will be reapplying next year. My financial situation is terrible and working for a year (if I can find a job) would really help me get my finances in order. But lets hope I and the other hopefuls can get in this year!

gdane, noone wants this more than you!

Just got a letter saying that I am being considered for the part time program and to confirm my interest. Anyone else?

e-mail or letter?

I got that email a few days ago. I replied that I would accept the PT spot, if offered, and received a call later that day informing me that I'm in. Sent my deposit the same day.

Huge congrats! Are you definitely doing the PT program then?

Sias,

Going to look into WCL PT; i told Sarah straight up on the phone that i am waiting for two more schools, and she said that that is fine, as long as the $900 is paid within 24hrs.....

Dropping the deposit tomorrow, will withdraw immediately if i change my mind.

+1 just spoke with Laura. Made my day, for sure

I also just got off the PT waitlist. 24 hours to decide between American and Brooklyn with 12k a year...

Can I put the seat deposit for American and later decide to defer a year / go to Brooklyn? What are the strings attached?

The deposit is non-binding, but also non-refundable.

Still, congrats guys. Maybe some of us will be classmates this fall. Unless I get off UNC's wait list, I'll be at WCL.

Check again. I was accepted FT (not from the wait list) and my "non-refundable" deposit is partially refundable if I pull out before June 30. Maybe if they are pulling people from the waitlist your strings are different, but I wouldn't think so.

strings are different for WL people; this $900 is non-refundable

Holy crap. That's a pretty serious decision to be made in 24 hours.

Yup. But it definitely curtails the amount of people who would otherwise tie up a spot for the next month or two.

I will definitely give AU a point for being efficient, even ruthlessly efficient. Best of luck in deciding.

Were the people that got offered PT slots instead of FT over 160 on the LSHAT?
