Hi everyone!
AA male here.
Got all of my applications in except for 3 that haven't opened yet (including USC Hastings, which let me fill out the whole application, but won't let me submit until 10/1...)
Not sure what to do with myself now that applications are in and I have nothing concrete to focus on, haha.
I did get an acceptance call from UCLA, so at least I know I can go to *a* law school, which is a relief.

Which 7Sage option did you do? I'm willing to pay some money but not a fortune.Incrementalist wrote:For me 7Sage was the best. I think it depends on the on the person and how you learn and comprehend material. I had used Manhattan Books and The LSAT Trainer but I found 7Sage to be the best because I loved the built in analytics function within the online course. I also liked their LR and LG explanations as opposed to the books I used. I did like the Manhattan Books and I could have taken or left The LSAT Trainer but I really enjoyed JY and his explanations in 7Sage. Plus I liked the community of people who were also studying and reviewing the material as well. They would ask questions and also answer personal questions for each other. It was a good support system because we were all going through the same thing.FIFTYFIVE wrote:Quick question, y'all. What are you using/did you use to prepare for the LSAT?

I did the Starter which was sufficient for me to learn the material. However, it never hurts to get access to more material. I also think it depends where you are testing and what you are most comfortable with if that makes sense.FIFTYFIVE wrote:Which 7Sage option did you do?

Re: URM 2017-2018 Cycle Thread
Writer's block can be a serious deterrent. However I would advise you to write a separate personal statement for at least the schools that ask for one and/or give you the option in a supplemental essay.Lalalsat96 wrote:Is it weird is my ps is a ds because im too lazy to write both (this writers block is real)
