Damn I hate the LSAT.

me too

[crackberry]

as in you probably would have been considered for the schol had your lsat been higher? you never know, maybe you are/were being considered for it.

sometimes i fool myself into believing that my gpa is not too terribly low to qualify me for the dream of a butler. but then i remember my lack of vce.

Yeah my app screams PI, but my 169 screams WL/reject at Columbia.

I'm trying to convince myself that I don't even want all that vomity grossness clogging up my mailbox anyway

....and it's not working at all....

It sounds like what this poster was talking about:

omg it sounds like a new full-ride scholarship. amazing. jealous.

hm, but i doubt i was being considered for that, so i'm back to being heartbroken by columbia.

Damn I hate the LSAT.

On another note, the admitted student binder is the most gorgeous thing I've seen yet from a law school.

If they sent out a batch of VCEs on 2/2, I would expect more acceptances reported by now. The lonely admit makes me think it was just for people who got that super-awesome scholarship. No VCE here, in Mass.

i think there are at least two. hopin10 on lsn is different from michaela, because hopin10 is not in SLS, and michaela is.

Thanks, that's really making me feel awesome about my lack of VCE/BBB.

Michaela didn't report a date for the acceptance; she could have gotten a Hamilton last week or something. Anyway, if she did indeed also get that peachy-keen PI scholarship, it could still mean that only the PI scholarship-accepts were sent out on 2/2. We know the Hamiltons are over, so those are the only two possibilities.

Hey all, was just wondering how people think Columbia regards multiple LSATs? .

I, of course, know what they officially say. Just wanted to see some human responses. Thanks though blue, you're always the helpful one! .

lol thanks...as you know, I'm a retaker too, so I hope they regard it positively. I don't see why they would place a huge weight on the lower score since they don't have to report it. I'm convinced now that NYU doesn't actually average scores, maybe the same can be said for CLS?

I had two scores 13 points apart, and I got in with the first wave of RD acceptances. If you take the time to peruse individual profiles on LSN, I think you'll find strong evidence that CLS does not put much weight (if any) on the average score.

13 points?! dayum...what made the difference?

That's nothing. LieutKaffee jumped by 20-22 points.

I feel like a slacker, I could only manage six

[violaboy]

I jumped 13 points too, but no Columbia love so far.

[crackberry]

8 point jump here. No love from CLS.

[BenJ]

11-point jump, no love. But also no complete before the last round of admits.

Excuse my ignorance, when was the last round of admits?

Luck, mostly. My June 2009 score (163) was ten points below my PT average and two points below my first ever PT. I wasn't sick; I wasn't plagued by annoying LSAT proctors; and I wasn't especially nervous. I just had a bad day. If I took the LSAT 50 times, I'd probably score 163 once.

Before the September 2009 test, I did no preparation besides taking four practice tests, one each weekend, in the four weeks leading up to the test. Other than the four PTs, I did not study and I did not think about the LSAT at all. I made a conscious effort to stay out of TLS from July through September. I averaged 176 on my four PTs, and that's what I ended up scoring on test day.
