A quick definition of Bachelor of Laws:

Bachelor of Laws: A Bachelor of Laws, also known as LL.B., LLB, or Ll.B., is a degree in law that students can pursue after finishing high school in most common law countries. The LL.B. used to be the primary law degree in the United States, but it was replaced by the Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree in the 1960s. The abbreviation "LL.B." comes from the Latin term Legum Baccalaureus, which means "Bachelor of Laws."

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Bachelor of Laws (abbreviated as LL.B., LLB, or rarely Ll.B.) is an undergraduate law degree. In most common law countries (with the exceptions of all Canadian provinces except Quebec, and the U.S.), the LL.B. program is generally entered directly after completing secondary school. The LL.B. was also historically the primary law degree in the U.S., but was phased out in favor of the Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree in the 1960s.

For example, in the United Kingdom, students can pursue an LL.B. degree after completing their A-levels. In India, students can pursue an LL.B. degree after completing their undergraduate studies.

The LL.B. degree provides students with a foundational understanding of the law and legal system. It covers topics such as contracts, torts, criminal law, and constitutional law. Graduates with an LL.B. degree can pursue careers in law, government, business, and other fields that require a strong understanding of the law.

Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.
18:03
Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
18:18
Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person
18:42
Probably. I just dont know. All I know is he did a good job with Dune.
18:45
You should watch Blue Velvet

How’s your LSAT studying been going?
18:49
It is good. I have about two more weeks and I broke the 90 level on LSAT Demon which is good last night. My goal is 95 so I can probably get it before I test. It is scaled our of 100. This is for LR. My RC is below that but I know the more I get better at MBT questions the better my RC becomes.
18:50
I watched the trailer for that movie. The run time is 2 hours. May watch it on 2x the speed. Just watched se7en and thats like as graphic as I get so I kinda need a break from weird bodyhorror stuff. The sloth guy in that movie scared me.
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
18:56
kinda go in 20 point intervals. 20 points if you have mastered lvl 1 difficulty questions, 100 points if you have mastered lvl 5.
18:56
Getting 100 points is incredibly difficult though. anything baout 95 is pushing the 175-180 range. 90-95 is like 170-174 or so. etc.
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
18:56
oh okay
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
18:57
Yeah, 100 is like you would get a 180 and there's nothing more to teach you. I have only seen someone with a 100 like 2/3 times.
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
18:57
or just drills
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
18:58
I do drilling essentially every day. A timed section every 3, and a test every 2 weeks.

re: WashU's URM lsat differential - fair to chalk that up to LSAT redaction weirdness messing w the scale or are they generally starved for URMs

And an (albeit negligible) inverse URM GPA differential
Just found out LSAC gpa is different from offical from undergrad, went from 3.0 on 4.0 scale to 2.67... Guess I'm a super splitter rather than a splitter
