I did my practice tests in my school's library, at 8am like when my real test would be. They have a phone locker that I used. I had white noise playing in my headphones so people talking wouldn't be too loud, but I could still hear them a little. My best practice score was 174 and I got a 173 on the real day. I also did some meditation/yoga (which I had no experience with prior) during my 15 minute breaks while practicing, and I found a small place to do it on the real day too after eating my snack. I only took 10 practice tests.
I got the strategy to get off the WL is 'differentiate yourself in a positive light' during visits and understand the example you gave about connecting w that guy w a 152. Problem is most if not all t14 schools do not meet w you nowadays during visit, and they explicitly say so in the email when you schedule the visit, so that kinda make much of your example not applicable cuz again, they don't meet you. They only meet w admitted students not ppl visiting trying to get off the WL, then how do you "connect w an admission officer during visit and differentiate yourself positively"? I find podcast like this only sounds good to the surface but when you dig into the content precisely, much of it is ideal talk, simply not applicable. Sure, you can still "differentiate yourself" via email once a month, but almost all the making connections during visit talk simply doesn't apply, cuz again - they don't meet you, period.
Hi Mike. Since now schools are closed and arent taking any in person visits, what would you advise a person that is applying for law school in November to do. I know that emailing people is important but who do I email? What do I say? and how do I get them to remember me to make it more worthwhile? Thank you
