Oddly specific questions you might be asking when borrowing for law school.

When I say specific, I mean pretty specific, explore at your own risk of wasting some time.

Windsor MIT '22, Harvard College Advisor

I am the half of LSD that didn't take the LSAT, or go to law school (Sorry about that). But I did go to MIT business school while surrounded by law students and lawyers, so I am somewhat qualified to talk about the intricacies of law school apps and finances.

Windsor (the dog) didn't write this but he WAS a Resident Tutor and career advisor at Harvard College with me, so deserves some credit.

ChowieBean

I mean it is not a bad option, unless you're shooting for HYS or something.

ChowieBean

18:44

yeah harvard is def my dream

llama

18:45

I believe regarding PI binding @ NYU? we came to the conclusion that: if you get it, it is binding IF u accept it, after you are admitted, chances are at that point u would know (likely) outcome @ other options. can anyone confirm?

@ChowieBean: Well if HLS is your dream, then don't apply binding somewhere else—at least I wouldn't do that.

ChowieBean

18:47

yes i'm sure that one's binding if you accept. and yeah i probably wont bind to berkeley but i want to still write a public interest essay for them

llama

18:54

I wish eggan jackfrost wasp bunny where here to input some knowledge since they are PI focused. texas seems right- it just really depends on the margin of utility u see in each school, if u are deadest on HLS- likely dont do anything binding to other schools?

ChowieBean

18:56

agree i just feel like it's such a pipe dream for HLS to be dream school

I think they will send some this week. :) I read that they did send them out during the holidays last year. I specifically read Thanksgiving week was busy.

@ChowieBean: yeah you don’t need to apply ED to berk to be eligible for the scholarship, binding just means that if you accept the scholarship you have to go there

babycat

19:02

it doesn’t mean if they offer you the scholarship you have to go there, only if you accept it

ChowieBean

19:04

wow! thank you babycat!

babycat

19:06

yeah of course. like llama said, RTK has the same policy but it’s only binding to the extent that if you accept their offer you’re committing to attend that school

The only binding I do is binding rune stones together in the mage's guild.

@K0zhii: Figure out if you like to read the question stem first or the stimulus first. If you like Stem first then 7Sage. if you like Stim first then LSAT Demon. I used 7Sage and I got the fee waiver so it was $1. It's a great deal

babycat

19:15

What interesting advice, I've never heard that before

Dkk

19:15

Is that what they do at 7Sage? Read the question first?

babycat

19:16

Not really?

shaquilleoatmeal

19:16

anyone mention lsatlab yet? They were great

ImpartialLion

19:16

7Sage goes question stem first. It was honestly game-changing for me.

ImpartialLion

19:17

In the curriculum for LR at least. Not sure if that changed

babycat

19:20

I actually didn't do 7sage curriculum, I just used it for drilling

llama

19:21

Hey bunny how much drillin did you do, on avg. per day? And how often did u do full pts?
