llama

18:25

7sage, lsatdemon, lsat hacks. check them out it seems like diff ppl have a preference. most offer free trial

babycat

18:25

7sage is $1/month if you can get fee waiver

babycat

18:26

that’s the first thing you should know. apply for a fee waiver through LSAC and it applies to some test prep companies too

@K0zhii: I would recommend LSAT Demon (they also have a fee waiver version) & the Loophole

[] texaslawhopefully

18:28

I personally did not like 7Sage, but since it is so cheap w/ fee waiver it might be worth trying

llama

18:34

@K0zhii: to summarize: 1: https://www.lsac.org/lsat/register-lsat/lsat-cas-fees/fee-waiver 2. check out the above mentioned prep companies, sign up/ 'try them on' and see if you have a preference (they are all a little different). 3. If you get an LSAC fee waiver, you can then use it to get discounted access to the prep companies. Hope this helps!

18:44

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?

[] texaslawhopefully

18:47

@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
