LSAT scores.. and improvement

[Clockwork08]

1. 165

2. No-- b/c if you are disciplined to enough to study on your own prep books will be just fine so save your money ( you will need it!). But if you do not think you can dedicate a lot time to studying w/o prodding then take the course

3. my first practice score ( you take a full length timed test on princetonreview.com for free) was 154 ( studied for 2 months)

4. 2.7 (upward trend, darn all those bio and chem courses!)

5. Toledo, Ohio State, Akron, Depaul, Valpo, Wake Forest (my alma mater), Florida Coastal, Dayton, Depaul, Penn State. (Top choice was OSU)

6. Everywhere but OSU (waitlisted)

7. Going to Toledo, going there b/c I recieved full ride plus stipend and has good placement in Ohio

8. Writing the Personal Statement took 2 months of drafts before I got it right

9. Apply early, def b/f Jan. Also try to visit your top schools before they make a decision it my theory that it is harder to reject someone when they can put a face with a name

10. No, b/c I would be affiliated w/ a grad chapter not an undergrad. Plus I know it hard to a city in the US that doesn't have a wonderful AKA grad chapter nearby, so I wasn't worried about not being near sorors. I will be involved with the chapter in Toledo though.
