@Blackman thanks alot ! This is my last chance to take LSAT anddo well ! I have already taken it twice!
I'm glad to see you're retaking the LSAT. Don't give up, keep studying! Just one tip that you might want to consider is just looking at LSAT questions and their answers/explanations, instead of trying to solve questions. By reading the explanations of the answers, you might better understand what makes an answer right and might begin to recognize patterns.
similar scores we have, gl on ur retake
You can do it!
Thanks, I hope u get into your top choice. I'm sending good vibes your way!!! Word of advice, Don'y go to Cooley or phoenix. A lot of their grads are working at community colleges and not at law firms. But are you AA, because Southern University is a great Law school that I think you'd have a good shot at getting in. And their NAME has a better brand than Cooley or phoenix..
Have similar scores and retaking in Dec. too but most likely in Feb '12. Took test-masters and didn't really help working full time either. Focus on your weak spots and try improve as much as you can. Good luck!
But didn't you apply to them in the 2010/2011 cycle? From what I see, no one in this cycle has gotten any info from them. I looked at last cycle and notice that most of the applications at Fl Coastal didn't start being reviewed til early December. So I was just going based on the tread according to the people on this site that applied and got a decision. I'll just be glad when I hear something! I'm really thinking that FIU might render my first decision since it's been "under review," according to the status checker, since last week.
First of all, Florida coastal and TSU are horrible anyway.. So "F" EM. You're better off without them. All you have to get is 145 are above and you'll be good. Trust me, you are a double minority. I got a 145 and I didn't even study for the damn test.. I just took it on test day. I guess, its really because I am not that enthusiastic about attending law school seeing as I already been in admitted to my alma mater's master program. But what I am saying is, Dont settle for trash schools because you think you wont get in. You are much better than that. I know you said you were trying to get out the south, so apply to Rutgers. They have a really good program and they are welcoming to URMs. Especially women.. So please don't settle for a low ranked school. I don't care If you got a 120, don't ever settle. You can do so much better.. Good luck, I know you'll get into a GREAT program
Have you applied to any of these schools part-time? And what is your #1 choice?
Yes part-time does make a difference depending on the schools for ex. you didn't get in Florida Coastal with your numbers, but part-time you may have.
How is prep for the Feb test going? I'm finding the site helpful too. http://www.youtube.com/user/pingulsat.
Yes you can always switch from full-time to part-time or vice versa once your admitted, but it will require the dean's permission.
Apparently today wasn't my lucky day. No news/changes on my apps.
Alrighty then. I'll give you a grace period. Lol. I'm sure everything will come out in the wash sooner rather than later!
Saw you signed up with a Powerscore tutor, awesome start! I took there class and did a lot of self study. When are you planning on taking the exam?
Hi Niesene, Just wanted to wish you luck and thanks for this blog. I scored a 140 the second time and am also attempting to take it a final time in 2/2012...so I know how you feel...I did kaplan as well (classes and then private tutoring) but I must say I just didn't take enough practice tests to score higher...I'm self-studying now but was also thinking of going ahead an applying to Cooley with a pending score awaiting...any suggestions? Do you know how you did in their PEP program?...if you don't mind sharing that...
Sorry I'm so late getting back to you I haven't looked at my profile in a while! To answer, I self studied for six months and then took a Kaplan online course for the last six months. Kaplan was really expensive but definitely worth it! Good Luck on the December LSAT!
you should try Southern in Louisana...maybe you might have a chance there. but otherwise, good luck rest of ur cycle.
Who said I was going to Cooley ???? Have u read my blog ???? My father is funding my legal education . So I won't be in debt. As far as Starbucks coffe , I'm ok thanks . .... :-/
Hahaha. Thank you for your recent post on your profile. It had me smiling. Some people on these various blogs just don't know that some of us have multiple factors that go into our application choices. And as I've always said, I laugh at people that comment about Cooley because I know someone that went through Cooley and is now working for a large bank's legal dept.. Good luck on your upcoming LSAT!
Good luck this weekend. It sounds like you have made some good progress so far.
i don't wanna mislead u cause i don really know fosho
Thanks for the well-wishes. I hope you get accepted into Southwestern! Good luck!
Good Luck to you too!! :) I'm taking the LSAT this Saturday too! We can do it!
Congratulations on your acceptance!
Good luck tomorrow!
I'm sure you did fine, girl! People always walk away from the LSAT feeling not-so-confident! It's just how the test is, unfortunately!
If you decide on Cooley in Tampa, there is a Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cooley-Law-Tampa-Campus/232452423469782?sk=wall that someone started, if you are interested.
I personally got really screwed by not canceling a score that I felt iffy about, and it was my third time taking it so i can't take it anymore for two years. i would strongly recommend canceling if you feel that you did not do your best.
Have you thought about what you were going to do with your LSAT results yet? I forget what the stipulations are time-wise with having to cancel results. When are you expected to get the results back?
Stay positive! No one comes out confident after taking the Lsat so its normal to feel a bit nervous. I'd advice not cancel since you are already in at 2 schools. Spoke to some attorneys in Phx here and I'm told Phx School will prepare one well to pass the Bar exam & at the end of the day, that's all that matters. Don't worry about the other variables now. Just get your JD and the sky is your limit regardless of what others think! God has good things in store for you! Believe that!
don't worry about your LSAT! i'm sure you did fine! hope you have a great cycle ! :)
I'm not sure I'll be taking it in Feb! Not feeling ready yet. I'm tempted to do the AAMPLE program at Phx School or Florida Coastal. Trying to do more research on Negotiable Instruments! I'm hoping to make a decision soon though! Happy New Year! :)
Good luck on taking the LSAT in February. My score wasn't that great so im thinking about taking it again as well. Unless I get accepted to one of my Top 5 schools LOL
Good job on the score increase. Keep up the good work. I'm rooting for you.
I don't know where I am going to go. There is too much information to process to make an educated decision. Have you made a final decision? I saw Phoenix contacted you.
thanks for the comment. I self studied and concentrated on the art of "guessing on the lsat". There are so many well written articles about it. so google it. It paid off for me. If you bomb your retake and plan to take it again. Try my method. It works
