what if i try to R&R but get a worse lsat. like what then bro. i tracked 162 in oct, 168 in jan, but what if i somehow go down and screw myself. also what's the last lsat with LG???
trees1234567
17:12
last LG lsat is June
trees1234567
17:12
sean sorry that is happening to you and same to you greasy :(

@trees1234567: a 164 is still a solid score! score inflation is real. if you were applying like 10 years ago you could have gotten into most schools that arent harvard and stuff

17:13
its sad that people these days are writing gpa addendums for a 3.7

17:14
@menherachan: yes totally agree and I feel validated in that the other materials must have been good to get past being below both medians
menherachan
17:15
same. i felt so revlied when i got my 1st a. my app materials weren't hot garbage lol
LinskysMom
17:16
oh ok perfect so i cant retake w LG no matter what <3 i think it was my worst section anyway but idk
menherachan
17:17
lg was the 1 section i didnt have to study 😭 but i got nerfed by not being able to focus on a fuckass passage about pottery or something

it's okay, i have nothing if not the audacity, i'm about to email a school and ask them to reconsider my rejection now that i'm above their 75%
LinskysMom
17:20
if i do get into a t14 this cycle, is it better to accept with no scholarships or risk an R&R, knowing that i can't guarantee a higher LSAT and knowing that i have to respend all the LSAT and app money?
menherachan
17:21
i dont think schools reconsider rejections?
GreasyWorkablePotato
17:21
they can delete my email then :)

lmoa, USC updated my status from saying "decisions are often rendered after 6-8 weeks" to "decisions often take several weeks"

It's interesting that you're asexual. That's not a sexual orientation one hears much about.

@LinskysMom: if you're going to be spedning 200k on a degree, why you tripping about spending a few hundred on lsat?
NarwhalOfLife
17:29
the few hundreds are an investment. if you spend 500, and get a 20k scholarship, seems like a pretty good ROI
LinskysMom
17:30
@NarwhalOfLife: but what if i do worse and end up not getting scholarships anyway? like: say i get into GULC or UChi off the waitlist this cycle, no scholarships, but i choose to R&R. then i get in RD but with no scholarships anyway. so isn't that risking a waste of the money?
LinskysMom
17:32
@NarwhalOfLife: i just get panicky about that stuff. i have no one to advise me on this process so i'm just not sure how risky R&R actually is i guess? or what my odds are for messing up and decreasing my lsat
LinskysMom
17:35
and also i really do appreciate the extraordinary patience and kindness of everyone giving me advice on here <3

@LinskysMom: Chicago take it and run, gtown at sticker is a gamble since BL is not guaranteed
NarwhalOfLife
17:38
saying GULC at sticker vs chicago at sticker bout to give horsey an aneurysm. idk im working with teh assumption your score will go up. I guess you can just go back to studying and make that consideration once you get off the waitlist
NarwhalOfLife
17:39
like you're assuming your score might not go up, but I'd bet its more likely to go up than you get off the waitlist?
LinskysMom
17:40
that's probably accurate. i could also work for a year and make some money before 1L (currently KJD)
NarwhalOfLife
17:40
also plenty of people have their score go down. most schools seem to not care too much
LinskysMom
17:41
the t14 would care considering i have a 168 rn. i can't afford for it to go down i don't think
