@PsychaCola: yeah not sure if i did it right or not, my status checker said 57k. Wasn't sure if that was per semester, per year, or one time (i doubt this).

Thersh

15:21

any insight welcome

@EloquentGunner: do you feel like you tutor properly?

[] ararara

15:23

My mindset, I tell the students to make something out of it and mostly just try to motivate them or focus on what is motivating them. Also to build healthy habits overall so that the studying isn’t unhealthy.

[] ararara

15:24

Because ultimately we know an endless amount about the test but how much of it’s going to rub off or what the outcome will be who knows

@Thersh: It should say somewhere whether it's per year or total. It is not per semester; Minnesota's cost of attendance is $74K/year ($84K/year out of state); even if they were offering you full tuition, room+board+expenses, and some kind of stipend, that would not add up to $114K per year

I wish more people would come into the chat and announce their As like @jack

Honestly I think the best general thing to teach someone for the lsat is basic propositional logic stuff a la modus ponens and whatnot

Thersh

15:26

@jb2028: it says 57k and "yes" under renewable. There is no other info

TerriblyTiredTurtle

15:26

best guess is 57k per year

PsychaCola

15:26

sounds like per year, i'd guess you'll get an email further explaining it

RandomizedUsername

15:26

half the questions are just "do you know that A->B does not mean ~A->~B

KnownTeenyFlounder

15:27

I'd guess 56k per year since their OOS tuition last year was $54,696. So exciting @thresh, congrats!!!!

[] ararara

15:27

If this happens, then that other things happens. That’s the whole lsat in a nutshell. Beyond the smoke and mirrors. It all makes sense.

jb2028

15:27

Agree w/ @terriblytiredturtle, "Renewable" sounds like it's "renewable each year" (provided you don't flunk out/transfer/drop out to do an MFA instead)

Thersh

15:28

Thanks @known and thanks everyone for deciphering that. Sorry if it caused any confusion

any idea if harvard interviews are/went out today?

LivelyWomanlyAlligator

15:28

and if so, what's the way they contact you? email, phone call?

[] ararara

15:28

Life on the other hand, not so much. I think in Ancient Greece lawyers used to be trained in the poetics to appeal to people’s emotional sides.

15:28

@LivelyWomanlyAlligator: e-mail

Would also match their out-of-state tuition (currently $56K, presumably increasing some for 2023-24) so that sounds like a full-tuition (but no room/board/etc.) scholarship given you're out of state

Thersh

15:29

@ararara: to go back to what you said, yes i agree all tutors are different. I just had a bad experience and realized it wasn't for me.

Thersh

15:29

I am out of state

Ima liberal so vegan crack for me

jb2028

15:30

Yeah, so that would be $171K in the format LSD uses to enter scholarships

15:31

@WhatItDoBayBeee: i love that you posted that in general instead of off-topic lmao

WhatItDoBayBeee

15:32

Shhh idk what you’re talking about !

[] ararara

15:32

@Thersh: I think a major point of what tutors should do is create an experience you cannot get anywhere else every lesson and so yeah it sounds like that didn’t happen. Ultimately though you standing on your own is the biggest thing because nobody will be there with you on test day.

Everyone doll worm is crazy

I always try to do that. I take my notes that I’ve been building since keeping my wrong answer journal then tweak them based on what students are saying.
