Based on where you were scoring and your want to go to UVA, I don't think so. Based on what I've seen, ED rarely makes sense if you're 170+

yes

and it's free until December 1st, they did the same thing last year. the only thing you'd pay is the $30 LSAC fee.

nah. if you get a 170+ you'd get a ton of money anyway. I think last cycle I was someone got 180K from NU which was insane.

Great to hear! I was using a G-shock watch and its not terrible, but I figured the money is absolutely worth it to ensure I am as comfortable as possible while taking the test. It would be shitty to have a bad test day just because of a silly timing mistake.

typo :oops:

meant to say I 'saw' someone. I don't remember their numbers though and can't find the thread. but they definitely had super high numbers like a 17x and 3.9x. I also think they were URM tho but I've seen others get 165K and stuff.

Going through it, and it didn't occur to me just how much the LR on this test [June 10/PT60] sucked. LR2#18 is kind of dumb IMO.

Really disappointed by PT 60.

ACT: LR EXP -5; LG -1; LR1 -3; LR2 -6; RC -6 [83/99] 167 meh

BR: LR EXP -3; LG -0; LR1 -1; LR2 -2; RC-4 [91/99] 173

I think I got a bit too hung up, and the -6 LR was also when someone was having a full clip convo behind me and didn't get to adequately finish the section, so I'll take some solace in that... either way not too pleased. I'll take a further look, but, IIRC, there was a garbage or question two in that second LR section

That's not bad at all, and dips happen. Also, like, dude, if I PT'd in the vicinity of people having loud conversations, pretty sure I'd be averaging in the 140s. Props for that.

No you're not because if you don't get that 180 then I'll be losing a lot of money. Remember I got $180 on your 180. So don't only think about ur lawl skewl admissions when trying to do good on he test, remember about my pocket.
