@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

babybunny

17:46

you can get score preview and cancel so they don’t see it if it’s lower and you’re worried about it

LinskysMom

17:46

maybe yeah

bebesota

17:47

score preview is the worst thing you can do

babybunny

17:47

yeah but she’s bugging about it

bebesota

17:47

bc if you cancel all they can assume is that it was the lowest score possible

bebesota

17:47

just let them see the score

trees1234567

17:47

or that u had tech issues

trees1234567

17:48

I think the adcomms are very forgiving at this moment of a single cancelled score

babybunny

17:48

i don’t think it’s that serious

trees1234567

17:48

due to the mass amount of tech issues that have occured with the Prometric switch

LinskysMom

17:48

i am bugging babybunny i'm a very high strung little lady. i just do not have very good stress regulation and really need to get into a good law school :(

babybunny

shawty let’s do some Pilates together you need to destress

Most adcomms only take your highest score

[] erase

17:50

would a bio minor matter?

SeanStrickland2024

17:50

Study for the lsat, see where your PTs are tracking whence you get into the 170s it’s very unlikely you fall below the high 160s

SeanStrickland2024

17:51

@erase: minor edge if you can tie it into your why law, like bio ethics or something

babybunny

17:51

I think the general consensus is that neither majors nor minors matter too much, only your GPA

babybunny

17:53

i did a double major and graduated in three years and they don’t gaf
