ChowieBean

18:24

ty :') ive been looking for some prep material but I've seen some where they're like $500 plus for prep material

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

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!

ChowieBean

18:43

llama

18:43

ChowieBean

18:43

binding scares me but its the only chance at a full ride. and no i didnt i canceled

[] texaslawhopefully

18:44

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?

[] 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

18:58

yall think there will be A's sent tomorrow? or that it will be after thanksgiving

Jordy1992

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.

babycat

19:02

@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.
