Does anyone who has ADHD and took the LSAT have tips how to remember RC? I keep finding it goes in one ear and out the other because I get bored while prepping
ScandalousSeriousBaboon
14:08
Might be because it's not the actual test, I usually test really well because of the adrenaline

@ScandalousSeriousBaboon: i have adhd but i bombed rc, but others with adhd can still do well. it really depends on the person and how their adhd symptoms impact their life
[] ararara
15:31
@ScandalousSeriousBaboon: strengths are weaknesses! That’s what I tell my students! Try to use your adhd like a superpower if you can! Filter out the bullshit parts of RC you don’t need!

You can get extended time if you have ADHD or anxiety, etc. it’s super easy you just need a doctor to write a few sentences

@CloisteredDisgustingCheese: i had accommodations, and even then i gave up on rc. plus, they arent always easy to get. i had to prove i wasnt taking adhd meds before i got it approved

I've never had an "official" diagnosis, but 100% have it. Might be worth it to attempt to get extra time, especially on RC... would make a good essay to write about living with undiagnosed ADHD and still doing well in school (other than shite HS grades)

Am I reading this right when I see that schools are still waitlisting students for this current cycle?? I am taking the June lsat so I have been checking in from time to time. Am I reading this right??
MereMushyDuck

Like, ASU (my dream school), waitlisted 3 out of their last 4 applications

Is it not a terrible year to apply with the June Lsat?
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
16:59
it’s always a terrible year to apply with a june lsat, but if your score jumps a lot then that’s good, although at that point you might want to wait til next cycle so you can get even better options

If I got pulled off the waitlist at UCI (probably with no scholarship), would it be dumb to go there over USD with 30k a year?

Yes
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

maybe? you’d need to run the numbers and check specific outcomes/connections for your goal. put yes it’d probably be dumb
