Well I for one am going to save the $+pride that three YHS rejection letters would cost

ETA: generic wasp

[Webpolice]

anyone here going to apply to YLS?

...

Maybe one day.
It's such a long shot though unless you have awesome numbers and ridiculous softs that I recommend people take the $100 app fee and go buy themselves something nice. It would be a much better use of the money.

I have no chance of getting into YLS but I do have an LSAT fee waiver so why not blanket everywhere?!

How did you get it?

You have to send in documentation that you and your parents are poor af. It's not easy to get by any means.

...........uh.....I'll just pay....probably.....it's Yale after all....

[Rigo]

[JackelJ]

Def request merit based fee waivers from the schools directly if you have good numbers.
Yale doesn't do that though cuz Yale.

What is considered good numbers to request a merit waiver? 75th percentiles of lsat/gpa for the schools applying to?

It's always a sad day when I have to start running on the treadmill

Of the upmost importance, obviously.

Treadmill? I'm gonna judge you hard if you say stationary bike

Yeah treadmill for now. Might switch over to the stairmaster next week. Going to try to fit in 3-4 cardio sessions a week so I can stay a bit more lean.

Omg yes. The stairmaster is a ~magical~ machine that does wonders for your ass.

If you declare yourself as independent on your tax returns then you don't have to put down your parents' income. I lived at home when I applied and did not have to. Before my current job, I didn't even make 30ks a year and qualified for a waiver (valid for a two-year period). Doesn't hurt to try. Could end up saving you a pretty penny in the end.

OK, actual LSAT question:

Would it be OK, if you're PTing where you need to be a month before the test, to only PT once a week leading up to the exam? Like, is it worth choosing another exam simply because I'd be busy during the month of the June exam?

I already answered that, but I think you should prob. make a new thread in the actual LSAT forum if you haven't already so you can get more responses. I think a lot of the posters ITT haven't taken yet or haven't gotten scores back from the first time they took, so they don't have an answer since they don't know how they did.

For example, if I was aiming for a 170, I'd be comfortable PTing around a 173-174 average a month before the exam. Then leading up to the exam, taking the latest 4 PTs once a week on Saturday morning at 9AM. Burnout is real and if you're at where you want to be, then I would relax a little bit with 1 PT a week (with comprehensive review). That's just my opinion.

Sorry, I didn't see it earlier!

Thanks for the advice, all.

Just did 4 sections of RC. Feel like someone took a baseball bat to my head. I dont think I'm going to be able to look at reading the same way due to the LSAT. So traumatizing.

How sad is it that I find trolling this forum more interesting than chilling on a beach?
