What Should You Do if You Didn’t Get the LSAT Score You Want?

June 2010 LSAT scores were released on Friday—“released” being a euphemism for invading the inbox of thousands of panic-stricken students feverishly hitting the gmail refresh button in two-second intervals. At this point, you’re experiencing one of three scenarios: 1. You scored higher on the June LSAT than you thought 2. You scored about what you […]

We’re less than one week away from ¡THE BIGGEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE!, and one of the most important things to do is eat right on Monday. And this is coming from a guy who eats M&Ms for breakfast everyday (in a bowl with milk, with a spoon), so believe me, I’m serious. You’re about […]
