Also dumb me is seriously considering postponing graduating to get my GPA higher.

Lulz, dumb me already did that - ish.

You switched programs, right?
Dumb me got another B+, in the easiest class (fully my fault) rendering it impossible to get my GPA to Ruby level. Rubies r lame anyways, debtfucked is much more exciting.

Yeah, I switched programmes, but they're similar enough that I COULD finish in 1 year, but without any electives left, so I'd be stuck taking all my heavy classes at once. Figured I might as well boost my GPA and be less miserable by taking 2 years to do it instead.

Surely the Ruby floor is a bit lower for someone with your LSAT, especially these days?

Sounds like you made a very good choice.

Seems like a pretty hard 3.9 even with a high LSAT (and it's a long shot even then.)
This person gives me hope, and also desperately needs to update their account http://lawschoolnumbers.com/madeanaccountforthis (Numbers may be fudged tho, who knows)

Debt keeps you on your toes (at least that's what I'm telling myself). I'll be 150k in debt at graduation after including my UG debt

That's not too bad imo and you're going to a fantastic school.

I hope so. Really really hoping I can somehow reach 3.9. I feel like if I can A+ the classes I'm taking now with this heavy a workload, then I can do it. So, crossing my fingers, lol.

Damn that sucks. I was under the general impression that LSAT > GPA when it came to scholarships.

It's more a matter of >75%s (why 175+ and 3.8+ can net you a Hammy but not a Ruby).

Ah fair enough. I forgot that Chicago's GPA 75th was stupid high.

Thank you for the words of encouragement good man. My only saltiness comes from having hit a 174 on a pt once but not actually coming anywhere near it on test day. That's on me though.

Do you guys think going through the Manhattan LR guide is really important? This month I'm redoing the 7sage curriculum/reading Trainer and drilling. I have the Manhattan LR guide but only went through a few chapters before I jumped ship for 7Sage. Is it really worth it?

I think the most important thing is just to have something that explains each question type in depth, in a way you can understand.

Oh, ok thanks! I was worrying for a little bit with all the rave reviews..

I'm doing the 7sage cc again as well. I like to use the MH book for additional explanation/context about questions that I have weaknesses in. So once you go through the CC and start drilling and figure out that you suck at NA/SA questions, it's helpful to have another resource with different verbiage to help get you over the roadbump.

That's actually a really good point. Currently I'm doing MBT questions but my worst LR types are MSS (already drilled but might drill again before PTing) and NA. Do you also use Trainer or only Manhattan?

Are you going to do the 7sage BR group when it gets set up for September or set your own PT schedule?

Shit happens on test day - You still did very well and got a great outcome.

Totally. Only difference is me living in poverty for 3 years of repayment why chugging through 50k a year. Then we'll be even withing about 100k minus whatever luxuries you can afford

Need to buy a blender so I can start making some smoothies.
so I stop spending $10 for a single smoothie for lunch.

I have a BlendTec. 10/10 would recommend.
