December 2013 LSAT Study Group Forum

Dec is looking very likely for me as well

Ah, man. You guys are really making me think tonight...

Do both?

Haha, yeah.. I could. But if I take Oct. and think I nailed it (unlikely) and don't study until the scores come out, I have only a few weeks to study for Dec. I just feel like if I sit in Oct. I'm not going to want to keep studying when I don't know my score..

All mental, you can always just pretend it was bad and keep studying. Worst case you either retake or you did really well.

When I can, I do by structure. If not, whole sections of old pts.

Yes. But I've been studying since late April.. and I. just. want. it. to end.....

Touche.
Well by next year you will undoubtedly be done

Took a day break today to instead focus on my PS (since I realized I hadn't really been giving it the sufficient attention that it should be getting...)

That there has been another pain in my rump....i can't really convey very well why my life is logically leading to law school. if you ask me why i can give you a good explanation but there isn't a story that best explains it...ugggggh. why can't it all be logic games

Took it way easier today too, sorta like a day off. Caught up on breaking bad(to those of you watching it, like wtf). Still did a chapter in lsat trainer and half mlsat lg.
Vicpin5190, why don't you write something a bit more abstract, I read a pt once about how she was one of the first women to climb a mountain. It was interesting and completely non related to law school.

Edit:I purchased 7sage. Fml at this point the only things lsat related that I didn't purchase is the bp movie.

Nice. 7sage is great!

[Erickt26]

Please pm me I'd you want to join the study group. We will be synchronizing PT to review them as a group in a q&a form.

im joining december bros


im getting surgery

Dre joining December? Makes me think even more that I should join the Dec crew.

What's the surgery?

i'm getting knee surgery. i fucked up my knee at the gym since i was going super-sayen.

now i have to deal with my health insurance and this has been stressing me out lately.

[vicpin5190]

im definitely taking october, for the experience if nothing else. my 3.7 is too anemic for a real shot at HYS anyway. will take dec if im unhappy with oct.

i'm at a 3.7 as well which is why i opted out of october to solely focus on December. I think i can go pretty far with a 3.7 but i didn't want to waste the GPA by having a substandard LSAT.

mind if i ask why? i dont think its possible to pt higher than you are xD

Ehh, my scores have been too volatile for my liking recently. I'll probably sit October, but I'm signing up for Dec.

yeah :/ sounds like we're in the same boat... though, no offense, i sincerely hope we will have both vacated this thread by november 1st xD

hmm well only hys seem to care at all about retakes, so the schools where i have a realistic shot with a good lsat (170+) like ccn, virginia, penn, etc. won't care if i have to retake dec. so i decided to take oct and get a feel for the thing.

in order to have a shot at hys with my softs and gpa, i'd have to score a mid to high 170s. with the way my scores have been wavering from low 170s to 180 recently, i just dont know whats going to happen and cant pin all my hopes on december.

I'm at a 3.6 urm(mother European, grandfather mex, and I was born in the us, go figure) do I even have a shot at HYS? Still applying regardless, as long as I don't fuck up on the lsat.

From what i've read it should be a big help having the URM tag. I'm sadly on the wrong end of hispanic for law schools, since I can only claim to latin american ethnicity (venezuela), nothing mexican/puerto rican.

What is known to be a big help? From what I hear some schools only have Hispanic for mex/Puerto Rican and etc, so you might still get a boost in some schools.

yeah i'm not the "right" kind of minority either.

urm should help big time. kill the lsat and hys will be climbing over themselves to get you.

Really surprised to hear that, definitely going to try to kill it.
What does surprise me is that I thought a 3.7 female with a killer lsat had awesome chances at hys..
3.7 should still be a good shot for hys, as long as you kill the lsat.

Well that sucks... Will do, thanks for the tip bee! Also good night everyone.

[Dr. Dre]

the biggest boost is female AA from low income family plus first generation college student

Dec isn't too late for people applying this year right? I'm taking Oct but that is iffy. I'm hoping that December isn't considered "late".

[Dr. Dre]

dec isnt late bro—hth

[tanes25]

Damn I'm rly considering it. I'm just afraid of doing too many different preps..

I second Erickt26! I love the course! Maybe you should if you're not seeing the results you want. If you're good do you!
