Got it, thank you. I don't think there is much I can do for my GPA now since I only have 1 semester left for ug but I definitely will be studying my butt off for the LSAT.

20:32

Nice!

madollyy

20:32

I really appreciate your advice, guys <3 Wishing you luck on your endeavors!

@madollyy: is that your CAS GPA?

madollyy

20:33

That's what's on my transcript! I haven't done that one yet tbh. I get mostly A's, some B's. Got dragged down a bit too much from one D in my first semester though ><

JumpySubsequentDolphin

20:34

do you have any A+’s? that could help your gpa!

JumpySubsequentDolphin

20:36

bc LSAC recalculates A+ to 4.3

madollyy

20:39

Noo :( Unfortunately. I'm surprised that I don't, there were definitely some classes that I remember scoring 98-100% but it doesn't show on my transcript

madollyy

20:41

Acutally

madollyy

20:41

My university does not list A+

JumpySubsequentDolphin

20:42

yeah my university’s the same way, so frustrating! still a great GPA and with a killer LSAT score you’ll be good to go :)

JumpySubsequentDolphin

20:42

if you have the means, I’ve heard private tutoring is the way to go

madollyy

20:44

Fingers crossed! I mean I'd be so so glad to go to law school period, but I am a bit of an overachiever. Dream is Berkeley rn, but I'm of course happy to go anywhere that lines up with my plans. And is kind enough with scholarships lol

madollyy

20:44

I'll have to see if my parents are willing to support that. I'm living on my own but ik if it'd help me they'd be willing to help

JumpySubsequentDolphin

20:47

who knows, you might not even need a tutor! Take a diagnostic and see where you stand :)

@madollyy: yeah that happend to me too with my community college transcript. You can try calling to see if they can alter your transcript but like mine would not do it.

Dkk

21:04

Ask @babycat to tutor you @madollyy

@JumpySubsequentDolphin: I would push back on this. I think for the vast majority of people LSAT tutoring is unnecessary.

Eggan

21:09

oh its from nov 12 phew

Eggan

i was about to have a heart attack

@madollyy: I focus on bringing your GPA up as much as possible in the last semester because once you graduate you cannot change that. So don't study for the LSAT next semester if you think that would impair your ability to get straight A's. As for LSAT studying, I would recommend LSAT Demon (ik controversial), the Loophole, and Reading Comp Hero.

*I would focus

@texaslawhopefully: oh I’m not sure hahaha im just basing off of my friend who got a tutor bc she was rly struggling and it seemed like it helped her!

[] texaslawhopefully

21:12

Yeah, that's fair! For some people it can help a lot. I'm just saying in general I don't think it is necessary unless you are trying to finetune a very specific area (or get to the high 170s because that is another thing in and of itself) OR are just terrible at the test. I tutor the test and I find that most people can improve just as much through self-study.

JumpySubsequentDolphin

21:13

that makes sense for sure

JumpySubsequentDolphin

i think for her it was a lack of discipline more than anything else tbh. she could not get herself to meaningfully study on her own
