yeah but the whole point of the interaction with his sister was that high status people are worse off than the low status people that kind find joy in the smallest of lifes pleasures

@TalentedReasonableIbex446 I hope you like St Louis

@saintcamp i think you can argue your point, but not that its warning of the dangers of third worldism, having respect for every cog in the machine is inherently a Maoist belief

I think Perfect Days and Paterson are very maoist in thought

And those themes are present in much of Wender’s and Jarmusch’s work

I am going to name my firstborn child New Order

law school license plates?

Wanted advice. About to take my 3rd and hopefully last LSAT this august and was wondering how many practice tests should I take a week rn? I am accommodated for ADHD so tests take a lot longer. I have taken 75% of modern PT's and used to take them about once a week.

id say no more than 3 a week, no less than 1. Consider doing a couple of 2 a days to train stamina. Also consider taking them in distracting environments ie while Trout Mask Replica or Death Grips is playing

Death Grips ftw

captain beefheart mentioned!

Whenever I see a profile with a sub 160 LSAT getting into multiple T14s I wonder if they're the most interesting/ hardworking person with a crazy backstory or if they just have a rich parent.

or their stats are fake

true

prob just trolling

I should study some more but I'm not in the right head space for it

Anyone know what would happen with my GPA once it's converted to LSAC. I have a 3.73 overall but i had 29 credits transfer from HS (IB credits - no grade just credits) I had 1 P/F class (only offered as P/F). My school also doesn't do A+ A is the highest. Im just confused on how it'll turn out for me GPA wise. Appreciate any helo!

the only way to know what will happen is to check your LSAC GPA

you can use a calculator but it's very time-consuming and allows quite large room for error

ap/ib doesn't factor into your gpa

also yeah just get your lsac gpa

reverse splitter here, (168 lsat 4.02 gpa KJD), what schools do i have a better than 50% at?

mmm that gpa is yummu

do u have any you want to attend? t-14's might be funky but i think you have a good chance at any outside of that

I think youd have a shot at some T30s, probably some good scholly offers at T50s

^^

saw a post on reddit that reminded me to not neglect the other section of the lsat (RC) so im doing an RC section rn. so far so good but im at work and had to take a break for a sec. i hope im doing well. my timing is good. I spent about 7 mins on the first passage

oh I know so many people who neglect RC for LR and eventually RC becomes their worst section by a pretty wide margin

don't be them

nvm yall i mightve beefed it

RC imo is easier it just takes longer. All the answers are in the passage, you don’t have to do as much inference/intepretation as LR

i beefed it

@TylerDurdenxTravisBicklexReader i def agree. i feel into the trap of being scared about how shitty i am at lr

yeah for RC you just gotta be confident. If you’re wishy washy about an answer choice just go back to the passage, the justification will always be there

I end up skimming the passage like 3 times

definitely

hello pwincesses

i'm on second round of interviews for a university research job

@StereotypedDidacticMongrel i think you could get into uiuc very easily with those stats

agree with tyler durden and nosy, check out t-30s and 40s, and emory and washu

and 20s ofc

any asu updates?

@ASU11 did you post on reddit lol

has anyone heard anything about SMU?

@JupitersMoons

Yea lmao

didnt get the full spivey pro bono but I got a free 1 hour consultation which is nice

do you think they read all my lsd messages and thats why

is there an WL movement for UWisconsin?

hey cuties

hey bad ;)

y'all got games on your phone

i got minecraf

i bought my first pair of nice headphones and i get the hype now guys

question about rc

actually no this is a skill issue

i hate science

When I got good headphones for the first time, I went back and listened to my favorite albums and there was SO MUCH STUFF that I never heard in them before. Like background riffs, texture. It was wild.

^this

@NosyBeagle

kms. anyway. what's the rc issue

Listen to Letters by Yosi Horikawa

my fav song to test new headphones

@PoisedDevilishChicken this is why i love my sony's. i literally only take them off to shower and to sleep.

@JupitersMoons i panicked and rushed myself. Got nearly all but the last section (science) mostly wrong

I have a 3.2 in PPE liberal arts and take the August LSAT. What do I need to score to get into LSU?

@NosyBeagle these are Sony's :D brand new thx prime day

@NosyBeagle timing is the worst part of RC. like someone said in here yesterday, if you had infinite time you could 100% RC, but you don't.

Mmm yummy prime day. the sony's have enraptured your soul. only funky tunes from here on out

yea that makes alot of sense. i've been trying to make sure i understand what im reading by taking notes

oooh woah oooh woah woah OOOH WOAH OWHA YEAHHHHH

@Apelaw i'd aim for a 160!!!

lsd law chat is dying rt if ur a true lsder

true lsder ovah here

yeah no the slow death of lsd chat in offseason has been inhumane imho

Took LSAT too late for 2025 and too early for 2026🥀💔

Time to wage for a yr ig

i love lsd

but i think high dose shrooms are better

but lsd is better than low dose shrooms

doing lsat drills in the sauna is brutal

@Apelaw 160 gang gang

if i saw someone doing lsat drills in the sauna id wonder what mental illness they had

they are going to be lawyer. there is no cure

I used to drill while doing cardio at the gym. Wonder how many people noticed

how do u do that

It was usually like an elevated walk, I wasn't running or doing stairmaster or anything criminal

And I would do it untimed

I was pregaming billable hours requirements

I also had the lsatdemon app on my phone which made for portable torture

ugh i'd rather die than put that **** on my phone

dead lmfaooooooo

What LSAT score do you believe you realistically need to be accepted into UIC LAW? Of course there are metrics on lsac & lsdlaw but wanted to get some opinions

Anyone else sending last minute apps? I have sent 4 from June 20 - July 15. 1 rejection already, 3 pending

I liked studying for the LSAT. The unrelenting anxiety about poor performance, not so much.

Yeah I dont mind the studying, its the dropping 6 points from PT to actual test day that i dislike

I'm kicking around retaking it. I dropped 5 from practice, but I had like crazy nausea, and the proctoring experience was really weird -- the lady was like barking at me to hurry up with the stuff she wanted even though it was impossible to go any faster. Then the call center mic came on in the middle of my test, so there was like this flood

of voices, startled the crap out of me in the middle of rc. But I did hit my target score, just this little voice that says I could have done better if the test hadn't been a calamity

did u take it online or in person? I felt more at peace taking it in person even tho i beefed my first score lol

Online this time. I took it in person 14 years ago, and I got the same score, but I also didn't know how to study. Also, 14 years is enough for cognitive decline to set in a little lol

it's been just two years for me. i'd be damned if i get the same score.

in person is the move

so easy

i dont trust my home internet to not screw me

My home internet is okay, but I lose power a lot, so I actually put both the router and computer on uninterruptible power supply units lol. But looking back, the whole process of setting up the space so they'd accept it took a lot of time I could have been studying

14 years ago, the books were all like "learn to diagram conditional logic" so I spent a lot of time on that. Now they say do not do that, and yes, do not do that.

Basically I made progress by doing focused drills that had questions I as bad at of the exact same type over and over until I started to see the patterns in the way they try to throw you off.

*was bad at

yes i also focus on my weaknesses

which is everything

any guess on how many ppl are left on the UW-Madison waitlist?

i take a little break from lr to do some rc and went back to lr today and it's like i never even studied lr

when will the madness ends

LSD should post more about the GRE and how it doesn't really matter much for law school anymore.

1 practice exam a week is fine, and don't actually take the LSAT until you are happy with your practice test scores.

Has anyone noticed the "search" section of the website is not showing all applicants within the selected ranges?

Anyone know if Albany LS has filled their 25-26 seats?

@NosyBeagle You're creating resilient neurological pathways by taking breaks and re-engaging categories. You will benefit from it in the long run.

@PoisedDevilishChicken this statement gives me the same vibes as the word "synergy" does and i couldn't agree more

3.1 GPA, Enlisted Veteran, Director at public Company, Graduate Degree from Top 5 public university. 157 LSAT. Where Should I shoot my shot lol

shoot your shot at the lsat again

yeah you should def take the LSAT again

Hi

:3

Do you think Baby Gronk is the new Rizz King? He even got a hug from Livvy

^ lowest quintile sentience

Baby Gronk was the rizz king until he ate the Golden Benson Boone Matcha Dubai Chocolate Labubu Crumbl Cookie

@TylerDurdenxTravisBicklexReader depends on what you're looking for in a law school. Plenty of great schools within range of 157. If you're trying for the "T14" then you may need to retake. But plenty in the T50 that will take 157.

@saintcamp I don't think you understand. He even got a hug from Livvy

haiiii

:3

matched with a fine ass man on bumble

turns out he goes to stanford law

Whats is an average first time LSAT practice test score? Im new to studying for the LSAT and play on taking the test in November. Without studying I scored a 147 on a practice exam, where does this place me relatively if anyone knows?

i would say that's a pretty good start considering you did zero prep

the average score without prep is like a 147-153

i don't think anyone with certainty can say where that puts you in terms of how much you have to study, what your score will be, etc.. you're gonna have to start studying and identify your strengths and weakness and all that fun stuff

today is a "pull down my crop top into my pants because the shirt i wanted to wear was see thru" work day

if i was a man id show everyone my nips

this is related to law school btw

been there queen

we are sisters in boobs

S.I.Bs

ok time for a torture session or what is commonly referred to as "LR drills"

I cannot win with this ****, dude. Why am I doing worse than before?

youre on tilt

cant let the game beat you down

youre better than the test

believe

i am

im eating a brekky sammich so i feel better

Brain runs on glucose; can't LSAT hungry. Not a bad idea to train hungry now and then tho, knowing you'll do worse

Sometimes helped me to run drills on stuff I'm already good at when I was feeling discouraged

:3

i luv u

thank u poised

do u luv me 2 ?

i love thick ropes

gotta get that zinc in

and stay hydrated

love

y'all see this

I have nobody else to tell right now, but my softboiled egg just peeled perfectly. I'm not sure what to do with the rest of my day now.

@badhorrormovie My inner germaphobe is recoiling

man learning is so fun it's such a shame they had to ruin it by making Canvas discussion posts

i'm just in shock like why they would think biting someone in the workplace is okay GJFKG

on reddit someone said she was well liked besides that + buying a $2,000 bottle of wine at a dinner with the partners

I think probably we'll never have the full story, but a lot worse is tolerated from men all the time.

@JupitersMoons Ne'er was there a more useless educational exercise

@JupitersMoons Here, enjoy this simulated discussion that in no way simulates a discussion.

is anyone in here God

As much as anyone is

@JupitersMoons Hi Jupiter. I agree with your statement on boo boo doo benson boone labubu clairo shade

UMich going crazy with these marketing emails: https://x.com/guo_dini/status/1947516294468952529?t=yY5DB-XeyZaBC8d4V_X89g&s=33

Application has been "under review" for 6 weeks now. Better to keep waiting or reach out to admissions ?

we do not accept clairo shade here 🙅‍♀️

i gotta lock tf in for august

i have not been studying enough

real

LSAT friends, try doing 10 in 10 or 15 in 15 drills for LR

yes sir or ma'am

If u can knock the first easier questions out quickly you'll have more time for the harder ones

anyone still waiting on asu?

I’m hearing ASU is backed up similar to UIC

damn, so basically no shot of getting off the WL rip

have there been any feeler emails recently, i have not gotten anything in almost a month

There’s still a chance, just depends on the remaining candidate pool stats

does anyone know how LSD calculates tuition for the schools? bc i feel like what im seeing online is very different than what the website reports here

where’s llama

Any advice for getting from 15low to 15high/160?

get accommodations

went to go apply for a fellowship through the department of state

and i got a one line response

"Thank you for your message. Due to the Department of State reorganization, the Office of Recruitment has been eliminated. This mailbox is no longer monitored."

like oh

I do not like this apocalypse

I got adhd diagnosis after taking my test last april

but damn if I don't want to study for the LSAT again

I hate this test. It keeps me up at night.

I was sick for three days after taking it lol

Not illness sick, just like...beat up

I was straight up ill when I took my last LSAT

strep throat babey

@PoisedDevilishChicken me too chicken....me too.....

@DivergentBoundlessHuman ik it sucks ASS but with accommodations it might be a significant score jump

i'm retaking my **** with an accommodation #yay #killme

I'VE BEEN CENSORED!!!!!!!

not the censoring smh

i do find it mildly comical that lsd now censors us for bad words when a) the filter doesn't work that well but b) lawyers swear more than any one professional group I've ever met

it's bc we were too inappropriate last cycle

oopsies

guys why is NDLS asking me to list a fun fact about myself

what fun fact should I do

how recently should the fun thing have happened

I'm booking rodeo tickets rn and I'm considering mentioning that I've competed in two rodeos and ridden a steer

also been bucked off of a horse and have the asphalt embedded in my elbow to prove it

mich didn't ask me for a fun fact :/

i like the rodeo thing

windy what would your fun fact be

im from alaska

im boring

I used to say that I could do a backflip which naturally led to me having to demonstrrate but im 40 lbs heavier now so i might pull something if i try it now

get ur gains up

I thought about requesting accommodations but my problem was never time. Sometimes I just couldn't tell wtf on certain questions and I thought adding more time to second guess myself would make it worse.

i wish you could get accomdations for being dumb bc i sure could use those

need someone to sit down next to me to hug me after answering each question

i need accommodations for them to remove all the stupid questions that don’t make sense

they'd be only main point question and i'd still get it wrong

i dont like the ones where the answer comes out of nowhere

especially for mss and flaw questions

people should just stop applying to law school until i get in

^^ REAL

why tf prometric have less test centers available than june when uguat has like 20% more takers

Hi I am new I currently attend stevens institute of technology I have a 3.83 GPA and a 148 LSAT. I am an eagle scout. I have been super anxious about gettting into law school, My dream school is New York Law School.

I took the april LSAT (cancelled my score). I kept the June one (which was teh 148).

I am not trying to take the LSAT 5 times tis is my third attempt

I would focus on your weaknesses before trying out pts. only take the lsat again if you're consistently scoring where you want.

That is what everyone says, but I genuinely cannot break the 150 threshold.

And my GPA is very high and I have a good personal statement and EC's

And I really am tired of giving 200+ monthly to LSAC, I am fine paying whatever these people want.

I am in the same spot. So many people have told me this and I keep going at it. Unfournately, my gpa is also bad so I have to keep going.

A 3.83 is not bad (my undergraduate institution does not have A+ on the scale)

Like I do not know what more I can do

I have no plan to apply to T-14.

im from NJ and it sucks that the only 2 law schools in my state are the hardest to get into

ElegantPrincipledMoongoose. I can relate. I'm in California. Whenever I tell people "I'm applying to law schools" they always respond "Oh, so youre going to UCLA / Stanford / Berkeley, right?" And then I have to awkwardly explain that I'm not that smart. Ayways dude, I agree that a 3.83 is not bad at all. Its a great GPA for a 4.0 scale!

i BELIEVE the recommended GPA for NYU is like 3.75+, so youre totally good there. However, I'd really keep studying and put off the lsat for a couple months if I were you. Schools really weight the LSAT heavily, so you wanna give yourself the best chance. You could also put off law school for one year and just give yourself a whole year to study.

NC native, 4 years work experience as a nurse, 2 as a legal assistant, 161 lsat 3.4 gpa what are my chances with wake and UNC

UNC is crazy competitive, but that doesn't mean that its impossible. Wake should probably be your target school though.

Yea, I don't know if applying early would affect my chances in a good way

You do get accoms for being dumb

pickle, im hoping they take pity on me if i do and just reject me early instead of blue balling me for 6 months

still blue balling here

Can someone chance me? I have a 3.7 GPA, 168 LSAT, 4 internships including 2 congressional ones an 1 DHS one, and multiple exec board positions at my school

or better words, where should I apply?

as someone with similar stats and softs i had a rough cycle so id say target schools like fordham BU GW depending on if you want to be on the east coast

congrats on fordham!

any asu updates by chance?

2-3 weeks left. Guess I am applying to predatory schools next cycle

whyd u only apply to one school?

why tf would lsac schedule maintenance that prevents you from accessing your eligibility number during scheduling for the august lsat

are they stupid?

wasnt the scheduling window the 22nd-23rd? hence why they started maintenance on the 24th?

unless you're talking about remote testing

in which case if its down for everyone, everyone gets to wait until monday lol

hello everyone

rising 3L here. just wanted to check back in. this place helped me so much so its always nice to come back and see how lsd is doing.

Anyone know if they took away the feature where you can see other people who have similar stats as you?

they did

@nhalws any advice for us mere mortals

hello gamers

@nhalws welcome back <3

anyone got any idea if/when to expect SLS WL movement?

andrew yang is a dub pos

@badhorrormovie That's my nap album

EVERYONE WAKE UP

THIS IS NOT A DRILL YALL HOLY MOLY

NC native, 4 years work experience as a nurse, 2 as a legal assistant, 161 lsat 3.4 gpa what are my chances with wake and university of richmond

@NosyBeagle I didn't think they gave negatives. What did you do, punch the proctor?

@ASU11 I haven't seen anything but sincerely hope that you get in.

@NosyBeagle THAT'S GREAT CONGRATS

ALSO WHEN R U TAKING THE LSAT

I'M PLANNING TO TAKE IT NEXT WEEK

IDK YET THO MAYBE I'LL CHICKEN OUT AND CANCEL LAST MINUTE THE WORLD IS MY OYSTER

had an interview at sidley yesterday

life is worth LIVINGGGGGG

@PoisedDevilishChicken what a beautiful album choice to sleep to

@PoisedDevilishChicken if only. but no i got 6 out of the 25 wrong.

@AngryMiniCar september

all my homies hate judicial candor

if my scores could stop going down that would be great

also wtf is the curve on PT153? -4 for a 174 is crazy
