Please do this!!

+1. Otherwise, since Gamerish and Mist removed themselves from contention, you remain my single nominee for our coup d'etat ugg.

(And what's with me being the first post on multiple consecutive pages)

Just have a stupid question and I don't want to have to start a new thread to ask it. Does anyone know for fee waivers if after you open an application term if you can still receive one from that school if you haven't gotten one yet already?

I was lurking so I will jump in and answer this. Yes, you can still get a fee waiver after filling out the app on LSAC.

Yep, I won't be around when scores are released. Also, the SO would be annoyed if I check TLS constantly while on vacation haha, and as OP I definitely would.

My sister and I were talking about schools I'm applying to and she suggests the most random schools to add to the list: Harvard, Columbia, Gonzaga, Utah, Colorado, Seattle U. lol. Just such an interesting array and so obviously from a person not obsessed with medians

No more retakes?
Nah this is my first take. It's just a weird feeling to plan for this test for years and stress about everything, and then one morning, suddenly it's all over and nothing is really different. It's like Christmas.

Wait you studied for years?

No and the elephant one and the hissing snakes one. Thought LR was easy.

No has to be within last 2 years.

I've thought about the LSAT for years. In that time I actually did like 2 months of semi-serious studying.

Did I misread the rule? It shouldn't have been simple??? I'm worried
No point doubting yourself now like that. Now that you mention it though I can't fully remember but a split like that would've probably worked really well for the game. I myself got two questions in had to skip the other three before finally deciding to skip the game and come back to it. Glad I did because the inference that was in the back of my mind suddenly popped looking at it again and it really wasn't that hard (finished four questions on it in under 3 min barely made it ).

Ya the rules for G and L were not the same (cant say any more than that but if you remember the rules you know what I mean)

On LG 3 I read "Nonconsecutive" as "Consecutive" which obviously drastically altered my understanding of the game. Knew something was up when I couldn't eliminate answers but was running out of time so I moved on, finished the last game and then came back only to realize my mistake with maybe 30 seconds left, and only got to change 1 out of 5 or 6 questions on that game.

After going my whole prep only missing at most 2 on LG and usually only 1 or 0, this put a real damper on an otherwise pretty solid feeling test. Could easily be taking me from the mid- to high-end of my range to the low or lower even.

Sorry for the sad post haha, just needed to vent / share. What a stupid mistake to make, I'm not sure if it was the pressure of it being the real deal, sloppiness, or a bit of both but it has probably killed my pipe-dream of a nice scholly down there to the U.S. and will keep me here in Canada should I ever decide to do law school

I did the same thing and know of others who did it. I caught it earlier than you so didnt hurt as bad. Your dream isnt over btw you can take,it again.

I want to confirm this (hopefully without breaking one of the rules) because I might want to cancel if I misread the rule (and got everything wrong on that game)

I think I know what you talking about and I think you did.

Yes explain the discrepancy, increasing # of chem majors entering college, but less jobs or something was the general topic.

Yup, TLS hit me hard. I studied on and off, but thanks to TLS I never lost motivation to shoot for the T14.

Reasons why i'll probably be sitting out another year and hitting that 4th take in june....

Damn my low gpa.
