Just took an internship for the summer, so I'll be taking the exam in the US! Gotta love that 12:30 start time.

Congrats!

It has gotten pretty lively here

Took my first timed PT (PT A) and got a 165. Hopefully, my BR score will be much higher. Unfortunately, I have had to slow my studying down considerably because I just got hired as a legal secretary, full time ...and my girlfriend and I breaking up probably factors in a little too prepping for law school has already cost two (admittedly casual) relationships...

Go on a date. (You’re studying for the LSAT, you’re obviously single or will be very soon.)" I laughed when I first saw it. Then it happened... twice

Anyways, anyone have any thoughts on enrolling in a JD/MBA program? I hear NYU's JD/MBA program does not require a GMAT score, as they are willing to evaluate you with your LSAT score, which seems pretty awesome. I wonder if any other schools do that... anyone know?

"The GMAT or GRE is not required for JD/MBA applicants who can demonstrate strong quantitative ability and preparedness for the mathematical rigors of the MBA program through their LSAT, prior coursework, professional experience, and/or certifications. If you are not certain that your background demonstrates the level of quantitative ability required to be successful in the MBA program, you may take the GMAT or GRE by the application deadline."

I've been interested in JD/MBA programmes, but I've only looked at the Canadian side of the border so far.

Congrats on your first timed test being a 165. That's quite good.

What is it, specifically, about the LOLSAT that has cost you two relationships? Not enough time spent with the SO? What do you plan to do with a JD/MBA?

Yup, exactly.

As for reasons for JD/MBA, I'll come back and write out the list. Food's waiting

It sounds like this would only apply to a select group of people as instead of the GMAT or GRE you need to demonstrate you can do math.
I considered it. But then I decided I want to attempt to have a life in law school, and I don't want to just collect degrees.

[msp8]

I don't want to just collect degrees.

I've always kind of liked the idea of this.

There's downsides. Like being overqualified for jobs or not specializing in one thing enough.
Don't get me wrong, being interdisciplinary is great up to a point though.

I'm afraid of waking up at age 30 with multiple degrees, half a million in debt, and no job.

Just finished june 2007. Felt pretty good, but the RC was tough. Left one question blank on section 3 (second LR) and just put B for the last 4 of RC bc time. Thought the LG was actually pretty easy. As was the first LR. We'll see I guess. Most confident/least angry I've felt about an LSAT test so far.

I usually do well when I feel the worst post-PT, and tank when I feel great.

[RZ5646]

I'm going to review at least one question today. At least one.

[pushsum123]

This thread is too much. Can we get a new OP?

Anyway, LR for me today...

Yeah. I find the 'specialising' component terribly daunting. I've actually grappled with this for years. I was speaking to someone recently on this subject, and they summarized my position as not knowing what I want to do, which may be true, but feels like simplistic. Truthfully, there's so much I want to do that I hate the idea of specialising.

To date, I've been engaged in a lot of different things. My thinking now is to try specialising and then branch out from there.

Does anyone else listen to Taylor Swift when they're drilling?

*n.b.: drilling =/ LOLSAT.

[nlee10]

I demand that OP publish both of the recent polls.

Gambit is great from the X-men universe.

[TheWalkingDebt]

ALSO IS ANYONE OTHER THAN ME HAVING A NERDGASM OVER THE NEW AVENGERS TRAILER AND ALL THE UPCOMING COMIC BOOK MOVIES?

[RZ5646]

(Serious) poll suggestions?

Sorry but I hate superheroes and superhero movies.
