I wrote a draft yesterday (I'm writing a fuck ton of random drafts to home in on what exactly I want to say) that was a meta essay about the personal statement

Also I feel for a 174 applying to WashU you have pretty decent chances if you apply asap

badhorrormovie

14:52

otherwise, i would be proud of your score!!! a 174 is terrific (don't look on reddit where you need a 190 and a 5.0 because those people are insane)

When do their applications open for fall 2026? I literally can't find any info on their site about that

seventensplit

14:53

still waiting on a LoR and I need to ask my boss to write me one...

AngryMiniCar

14:54

Apps usually open mid September I think. It might be too early still. Check on LSAC if anything

seventensplit

14:55

Yeah, I have a list of the opening dates for schools that have it listed. My plan is to apply literally the first day applications open

When I tell you my RC gets worse everytime I do it I'm dead serious

seventensplit

14:57

What's your issue with RC? I'm not guru or anything, but I'm pretty good at the LSAT

AngryMiniCar

14:58

I wish I knew. I thought at first I just wasn't understanding the passage. But then I got a pretty good grasp of it. I just keep choosing the trap answer for no good reason. Although Ig that means I'm not really understanding it.

How many full timed PT's have you done, and how many RC passages have you ran timed drills on? IMO that is like the most important thing. I think raw input with feedback is like the most efficient way to learn.

seventensplit

14:59

Just have to make sure you don't burn all of the PT's before your test. I was running out of newer material to study

late to the convo but THANK YOU for saying most "successful" personal statements that schools share are super f'ing mid writing from people who have wildly impressive WE or life experience

AngryMiniCar

14:59

Quite a few. The range is kinda crazy. I think I started off with -3/-5 and now the most recent one I got -14 which is insane...

i would say stay away from PTs and drill drill drill -- start by ignoring the time and focus on the content. also, wrong answer journaling helped me a ton!!!

seventensplit

15:00

Yeah like every single time, it's fine writing. Nothing creative, not very impressive, but it's just like "I cured cancer while living in a concentration camp and also I raised my siblings after my parents died of aids. Then I went to med school but I want to sue the government of Mozambique so I need law school."

AngryMiniCar

15:01

For RC too? I think it helped a lot with LR but idrk what's wrong with RC so it feels like I'm just writing "pay attention to wording" over and over and over again

ugh my ps is trauma dump & run on sentences

@seventensplit: LMAOOOOO

My RC strat: Read faster than normal, but not skimming. If at any point you didn't comprehend something, re-read it right then and there. Read the first question, go to the text that it is asking about and double check yourself. Try for 8 minutes per section.

been a minute, but for me I tried not to have to go back to the text to check - I actually read slower than normal, did some rough note-taking/outlining (which was mostly to help me retain content, not to actually refer to when answering Qs)
