Choosing Where to Apply to Law School - An Admissions Officer's Guide
Research, Introspection, and Everything Else You Should Think About

Applying to the correct set of law schools will enhance your choices when it comes time to choose where to attend. My advice is that you apply to no more than nine law schools and use the following formula (feel free to modify, if needed, but make sure to keep at least one school in each category): You should apply to 3 “Safety Schools” – that is schools where based on your numeric profile and their numbers, you are likely to be admitted; 3 “Target Schools” – that is schools where based on your numeric profile and their numbers, you have a greater than 50% chance of being admitted.

Because of your goals probably but that also depends on what you’re pt-ing/if you feel like 170 is your ceiling
21:29
It’s definitely not lmfao I never got below 173 on a PT after my diagnostic
21:30
averaged 176 on the ~10 PTs I took prior to august
21:30
No idea where I went wrong

Damn I feel that, my average was 176 too but I have an eye issue that decided to become an issue the test week so I could not read at all on RC
21:39
I think I did poorly on my RC, the first passage was all theoretical about a Spanish author & ya boy has a touch of the tism if you feel me, connecting author purpose & how they feel about things emotionally has always been my weak spot
21:39
If I could get 4 straight science passages that would be absolutely bomb lmao
21:40
Wish me luck on my WashU interview tomorrow guys. so nervous!

@EmptyGoat: Science passages are the best, I still pull from my bank of random facts I got from reading those. But reading about different authors or music people would kill me
