I use a water bottle and keep refilling it for a bit b4 replacing is, so yes and no to drinking regular water bottles at home

[ponderingmeerkat]

Zero real-work projects here either.

All that said, I do have a job to do this evening. A Filipino NGO down here just challenged all the American's to play them in some full-court 5v5 basketball at the embassy. It's fucking on! I'm not a tall guy at 6'0", but I know what I'm doing on a basketball court and I'm a mother fucking giant compared to these dudes. Gunna play big-man style and crush some wee 5'4" dudes all day.

Keeping up international relations is a tough business.

This is acceptable. I was referring to people opening new plastic bottles to drink water in the house

none of that stuff happened to me, i got a 180

[Mikey]

I definitely was abducted by aliens when I had a few questions left on section 5, for that I will only get a 178 and not a 180. So sad.
inb4 retake.

Did anyone else start their writing prompt in shorthand and then realize that this was a legit essay? I had to stop myself from writing b/c and &

I'm interested to know if the writing sample has any weight whatsoever at the top schools. Are there any anecdotes of people actually getting dinged for blowing it off?

I heard tell of someone who drew a penguin on the paper and got into H. I think he got a 179 or sth and was a baby genius

Say whatttt

[pretzeltime]

Yep. Penguin was a bold move.

I mean there are little snippets and anecdotes from admissions officers at top schools who start with the LSAT essay first. Like specific individuals do that. But who knows.

I hope not. My essay from my Dec LSAT was pretty good but this time I got a dumb prompt and was already buggin from my testing experience and just could not be bothered with it

oopz

I know my Blueprint instructor told a story about a fellow instructor who, having been 100% confident he had just gotten a 180 on the test, drew a smiley face on the writing sample. He was right about getting a 180, but he did end up wiping the tears of his HLS rejection letter with his YLS acceptance letter.

Obviously have no idea whether or not this story was actually true. I do know, however, that since YLS at least uses faculty review for all but the tip-top candidates, you run the risk of annoying a professor into giving you a lower score if they think the writing sample is at all consequential. And I think that Asha, somewhere in her blog, has explicitly stated that at least one such professor exists.

dont really think it has too much weight. It could bump u ahead of someone but idk if it bumps u down. I think Velocity LSAT dude wrote his PS as an apology for his typos and crap from his writing section, but could be wrong.

my writing section included Metropolis, so naturally i was SUPER tempted to include superman

[Hennessy]

my writing prompt was stupid af
i basically rewrote the question premise; i don't think i even included any analysis
