@info-man: that makes sense

Kilajen

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

Kilajen

18:07

All good things to think of. Aid doesn't matter too much for me because I got a full ride for undergrade

Kilajen

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.

Kilajen

18:10

I see

Kilajen

18:11

I didnt want to retake it becasue the removed the games

Kilajen

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

Kilajen

18:12

but what if I get lower?

Kilajen

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.

Kilajen

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.

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

18:14

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?

Kilajen

18:16

I was out of messages lol im 14/15 rn. I'm not aiming for t14 but more like rank 50-30
