sps?

...

on another note, I'm leaning more toward delaying on writing this until June. But then I'm not sure whether to write in Europe/Middle East or Asia. I'm kind of wondering if I can register twice for the same sitting... anyone know? (yes, i will call LSAC when I can later, but if anyone here knows offhand, that'd be nice)

Minor in acting? That's an interesting mix. Do you want to do anything with the acting?
I used to be a double major in acting and polisci but acting took up too much time/I didnt like the department much. They've changed a lot since I've been here now though and I love the department and wish I wouldve been more involved. Idk if I'll do anything with acting but I'd love to do community theatre on the side or something.

msp8: sps = sh*t pure sh*t. I didn't want to spell it out because work computer. But, surprisingly, sps is accepted TLS lingo!

Explosives: PW PW! The :shock: was in reference to your double major. I am in awe of your presumably high maths skills, as I lack those.

majors dont matter at all. seriously. let's just nip that in the bud right now. a 4.0 in hotel management is better than a 3.6 in engineering.

God I sound like such a dork, I promise I don't take myself that seriously, guys.

Let's talk LSAT... How is everyone feeling? Where are anxiety levels? My sleep app says that I was awake for 70% of last night, so apparently LSAT has already decided to overwhelm my brain, a full four days out.

I'm feeling pretty good about the LSAT and not even freaking out at all right now. I just take solace in how the great Denzel has directed me to approach the LSAT:


Who's the judge?
The judge is God!
Why is he God?
Because he decides who wins or loses, not my opponent!
Who's your opponent?
He doesn't exist!
Why does he not exist?
Because he is merely a dissenting voice to the truth I speak!

Have you ever scored above 75% on your sleep app? I have a few friends using that, and they never get above 75% despite feeling well rested etc.

And, I feel shitty about LSAT. My last two PTs, I bombed a section in each. So now planning on postponing to June. I'm far more optimistic about your potential to kill the LSAT!

Offhand, I don't think you can register twice for the same administration. You can only change an existing registration. LSAC might make exceptions? Definitely call them. Your situation sounds tricky.

Hotel Management is legit. Especially from Cornell.
Pick some joke major like Communications next time to make your point.
I think the whole hotel industry is facing some major headwinds. Not sure if the industry as a whole is legit anymore. But that's another topic.

I never really understood what skillset/knowledge someone w/ a Communications degree possessed...

Anyone who's studied Logic Games would probably be pretty good at Pure Math. Computational Math such as everything pre-calc is a lot of rule memorization and application. Pure Math is very different, involving "proofs".

Basically, you start with a set of rules depending on the subject (Probability Theory, Complex Analysis, etc.) and then start with a group of axioms. This is analogous to how a logic game starts you with your criteria. After that you use the axioms to start proving that certain things follow logically from those axioms and that other rules follow logically off of those rules.

It is very similar, albeit more involved, to how you approach logic games.

Same. You don't come across engineering & finance double majors applying to law school very often
Same but mainly cause my stats/username would make me obvious to adcoms.

Uhhh...what?
I'm no expert in hotel management but it seems like a pretty solid industry. Are you saying there won't be hotels in the near future?
Of course not. Brains in a vat.
