I'm not the best at LR, been studying for 4 months, took a 2 month gap, and started studying again a month before August. Was PTing in the mid 150s. Then took the August LSAT and felt like the first LR section was actually easy until the 20th question. I had 10 minutes left at that point, which has never happened to me before as I usually scramble to finish the last 5 with like 6 mins left. This time, I was eliminating trap answer choices with what I felt like were "valid" reasons and on a few questions I was trusting my gut. Could this mean I genuinely did well, or potentially bombed that section? (might just be losing my cool cause score release is less than a week away)

My mom has an unhealthy attachment to both me (23f) and my brother (25m). She didn’t let us leave home when we went to college and now I’m trying to go to law school and she’s crying every week about me leaving. She hates that I want to leave and sees no reason why I shouldn’t stay at home and go to a law school nearby. Thing is I hate the weather of the state we live in and prefer the cold up north.

Anyway today I got news that my grandma who’s 80yrs old and lives in a different country fell and has been having serious health issues. I suggested maybe we can check her and my grandpa into a retirement home where someone will be there to assist them round the clock. She had a breakdown about how I was gonna do the same to her and my dad and that she was scared of me. I told her that we can’t afford a full time nurse for my grandparents which is why maybe a retirement home would be better. She lost it and said if she was gonna die she would die in her home and if I checked her into a retirement home she would haunt me for the rest of my life. She’s absolutely nuts, and I’m fucking tired of her emotional mood swings. The logical part of life is irrelevant to her in most decisions she makes and I’m tired of being labeled heartless or ungrateful because I’m trying to be logical.

I also told her that the comparison is unwarranted because my grandparents live in another CONTINENT. And that of course I would take care of her since we live in the same country like it’s no big deal man.

It literally had no issues whatsoever but has stopped working completely. I’m truly baffled that this has happened to me. Did anyone else experience this? Is there a way to save the machine? It’s not due to the power outlet either. Also there’s no lights on in the brew button.

Most of the research I gathered online says to never put any pressure on the stye or it will get worse. But I went to the eye doctor and he said to draw circles with my fingertip while applying pressure to my stye as I do hot compresses. Also prescribed Xdemvy which I will start tomorrow. Are these things normal?

I have a bad history with styes, had one turn into a chalazion and surgically removed a year ago. I was stye free since then and have a strict eye hygiene routine but apparently I have Demodex (eyelash mites WTH!!)

Have to add, international law RC kicked my ass too, so I just would love to hear some motivational stories because I’m so overwhelmed :/

I've been wondering if I would be considered URM since my ethnicity is underrepresented in the legal profession but I don't know what the qualifications are

Would you recommend applying early or were you able to get in with decent scholarships? Also would love to hear from those in the 150s range since I might not get to break 160..

I’m just trying to get into a top 50-100 school, nothing too crazy. 3.9 GPA, T3 Softs, and hopefully a 160 though I might get stuck in 158 purgatory.. (currently in the low 150s)

What are the chances of me getting into a law school in between like the top 80-150 with a decent scholarship (more than half of the tuition)? I have a 3.9 GPA but a 152 LSAT.

Context about me: Did two good internships and have a sad but unique personal statement as to why I chose law.

(Asking because this test has been one of the worst experiences of my life, and I’ve genuinely been through a lot. English is my 2nd language and I will retake but lost all motivation and hope so I want to see if my official 152 can still be enough if it comes to that)

I had some messed up things happen to me at the age of 13 which led me to want to pursue a law degree. Now I graduated college with a 3.9 gpa and need to study for the law school entrance exam called the LSAT.

The problem is, English is my second language and this test is extremely difficult. I have never been good at standardized tests given my terrible SAT experience but I promised myself that this time, it was going to be different. Turns out, I cannot keep that promise. I took a gap year and 6 months of it was wasted because I was too scared to study and see myself fail.

Then I actually started studying and did a somewhat consistent studying for 3 months, took the real exam and got a mediocre score. I think I got lucky on test day to even score that mediocre but ever since then for 2 months I haven’t done any studying. I despise this test with all of my being but if I don’t get a better score, I cannot go to a decent law school or get decent scholarship.

I should be hella motivated right now, I have a story tied into every aspect of my life and personality that led me to pursue law, and it’s what I always wanted to do the most. But now that the time has come, I’m too scared. I feel like a deer caught in headlights. I need to apply to law schools in 3 months but have messed up EVERYTHING. I should have studied better more consistently and now I ruined it.

Basically, as I was buying the jeans it said “less than 5 left” or something. I bought them, checked the listing and it said out of stock. So now I’m wondering if I’m gonna receive an email saying “oh sorry this is actually out of stock we made a mistake.”

I need these jeans for an event so that’s why I’m tryna see if I should trust that they will get shipped or have a backup plan. Thanks!!

Been grinding for 4 months, took it in April scored in the low 150s. Lost all hope and motivation, didn’t study much between April and now. If I give it my absolute best and study 8hrs a day, can I see a meaningful increase by August?

I feel like August is my only chance at applying early which is why I’m seeking y’alls opinion on whether this is out of touch with reality or actually plausible. Thank you!

This is probably a common theme in religious households but the hypocrisy is eating me alive right now and I’m extremely pissed off. My parents are very strict, they never allowed me to date in high school or college, now I graduated and am living with them while I’m preparing for the law school entrance exams.

Now they’re coming up to me making delusional comments like “you have the ability to give life that’s beautiful” or straight up “we want grandchildren”. These comments disgust me because up until this point in my life I let you put your rules on me and influence me but now how disgusting is it of them to try and influence me into this bullshit? It’s my body, it’s my life, and it’s my choice. The mere thought of marriage repulses me because I’m not familiar with men. Only had distanced friendships with them.

So now for my parents to come up to me and try their manipulative behavior and influence me into doing something to my body and life just for their pleasure of having grandchildren is absolutely fucking wild to me. I’m extremely disappointed in the way my life has been going due to them and these comments were the cherry on top. And no unfortunately I can’t move out until 2027 due to financial difficulties.. Sorry I just had to rant, I’m livid.

I just took the writing part and throughout the exam my stomach made loud noises which happens when I get hella stressed. What are the chances of me getting flagged and potentially not approved? Will they think I talked or something? Please I would appreciate any ideas y’all might have 😭

EDIT: also due to my computer’s camera quality, my ID looked a bit blurry do y’all think that’s an issue :/

I had some family related stuff that prevented me from studying for and doing the writing section. I’m gonna start studying today and maybe take it on Wednesday or Thursday. How much delay do you think there would be for my score release?

I know some people said theirs got approved the next morning but I have a huge mirror in my room that I can’t cover and idk if the website they use is gonna flag me and take weeks to review and approve it :(
