For sure, you too! If you look at last year's cycle, it seems to be the case, but I'm losing hope after mid-late Dec. The anxiety is killer! Oh and congrats on Michigan btw (I'm jealous).

True, but

Hi. Congrats on your resounding success. I know you are one of an elite group to have scored above 170, but I singled you out to ask this question because a) you have updated your file recently, and I am hoping that that increases the likelihood that you'll respond, and b) because I saw your name on the accepted list of Columbia, my dream school. Just person to person, human to human, tell me your secret to such a beautiful LSAT score. I mean, in my mind, people like you are nothing short of mystics. How do you feel when you finish the LSAT? At your level, did you sort of "know" you'd aced it when you walked out of the testing center? At your level, are you able to finish all the problems in the time allotted. By finish, I mean, are you able to read and assess every problem in the time allotted? I've taken the thing 3 times, I'm studying my butt off, and I mean, I'm not asking for your advice on my situation, but I am asking about how someone got a score like that. Please tell me about it. Does it just come easily to you? Have you taken it before? What did you find most helpful in your preparation (i.e., lots of practice tests, or isolated drills, etc., etc.) Would love to hear from you, Heartiest congrats, Sarah
