enkidu (2022-2023)

Extensive management experience through college (about 4 years total), multi-million dollar entertainment property management, volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity and local organizations. Some international volunteer experience, about 2 summers worth. Bilingual.

By request, to achieve my 12 point jump, here's what I did:

I studied a bit before the 156 but decided I could do much better (and WAS doing better on my practice tests)

The bulk of my improvement came from doing LSAT after LSAT, timed EVERY time. SOmetimes I did a whole test, sometimes just a section, sometimes just one game or reading comp (8:45 per game/reading comp passage) Time yourself religiously.

I moved from doing single parts in a certain amount of time to doing the whole test as such.

I got techniques down very well and practiced those.

The books I used were:

Powerscore Logical Reasoning Bible
Powerscore Logic Games Bible
Powerscore Ultimate Setups guide
NOVAs Master the LSAT (the reading comp section ONLY)
Every published set of 10 official LSATs and I ordered many individual tests from lsac.

To gauge where you are, it's best to use the most recent test possible because it will be the most similar to the LSAT you will be taking.

Applied to most schools in October and told them all to hold off until they received my December LSAT score, so everything went complete the beginning on January.

W&L; I didn't realize I needed a Dean's Cert, so it went out and I became complete much later.

1-25: Priority mail from IU-B, got in! Plus scholarship! And a handwritten note from Asst. Dean. I'm impressed. A great way to start off the cycle.

1-26: Out at American, small letter in snail mail.

2-1: Deferred at SMU PT. I heard alot of people have been deferred. I thought I was a shoe-in. Not in at any Texas schools yet. Oh well. Crossing my fingers for GWU.

2-5: Accepted at Loyola Chicago. Accepted at Seton Hall. I'm doing pretty well this cycle!

2-8: Loyola Dean calls to welcome me to Loyola and congrats on the acceptance. I really love when schools give personal attention.

2-10: Out at Ohio via snail mail.

2-13: In @ George Mason. Very happy about this, applied PT and FT and got in FT via a call from the dean. Looking forward to seeing if they offer me a scholarship.

2-23: In @ W&L via email. Wow!

2-24: Went to decision on Michigan's online status checker. One week and I'll know...

2-28: Out at Texas via envelope in the mail. *tear* Out at Florida. Meh.

3-3: Sent emails withdrawing from Case Western, Seton Hall, STCL, Arizona State and Loyola Chicago.
