Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you

part of me thinks it should help quite like undergrade but I hear diff things
18:06
@info-man: that makes sense
18:06
Im a spliter so i was hoping ED would help
[] texaslawhopefully
18:07
I’m sure they help somewhat with admissions. I personally wouldn’t do it because aid matters, but if you can afford sticker price and really want to go to x school, then it could be worth it.
info-man
18:07
i don't believe it provides the same boost as it does in undergrad admissions
CynicalLameFop
18:07
Yeah thats why I did one of the ones that was full tuition. Figured absolutely no way that could hurt me
18:07
All good things to think of. Aid doesn't matter too much for me because I got a full ride for undergrade
18:08
so I would like to get into the best law school I can
[] texaslawhopefully
18:08
@Kilajen: if that’s goal, with your gpa why not retake the lsat?
[] ABCarrot321
18:09
my understanding of early admissions is that if you're already in the median ranges it will help you, but otherwise isn't a boost.
18:10
I see
18:11
I didnt want to retake it becasue the removed the games
18:11
and I was the best at games
info-man
18:11
yeah, i agree with carrot. not really a reason why you shouldn't attempt the exam again after additional preparation, even if your goal is to make it into the 160s
[] ABCarrot321
18:11
a 154 is totally a score that can be raised by studying for a bit
18:12
but what if I get lower?
18:12
then I would be really screwed
info-man
18:12
alright but what if you get higher
[] ABCarrot321
18:12
anecdotal but I've never seen someone score lower on their second test if they've genuinely devoted time to studying
[] texaslawhopefully
18:12
What sort of schools are you aiming for? My unsolicited advice would be I highly highly recommend retaking. It’s very possible to improve your score even with the new lsat and I think you would be wasting your great gpa with your current lsat.
18:12
I would agree with that if they didn't remove my strongest section
[] ABCarrot321
18:13
LR is highly learnable too
info-man
18:13
have you taken a diagnostic with 2LR 1RC?
[] texaslawhopefully
18:14
^^exactly. LR is def very improvable. I improved my score to a 178. And I would assume with your grades you have to be reasonably intelligent to the point where I would be surprised if you couldn’t get a 165+ given enough studying.
texas is def right
[] ABCarrot321
18:15
yep
CynicalLameFop
18:15
ya
info-man
18:16
mhm
[] ABCarrot321
18:16
not sure what you did to prep in the first place but maybe switch it up and see if you improve?
18:16
I was out of messages lol im 14/15 rn. I'm not aiming for t14 but more like rank 50-30
