How educated are the posters in "Higher Learning"?

[Drip Bayless]

Generally 4. I probably should have done 4, that extra-year of what was essentially free time would have been incredible.

How did you get out early? I the grind tho breh

 

[Serious]

On my last few credits. Paying out-of-pocket sucks.....but NO debt........

Should be done in another few months.​

Just glad you're consistent

School gave us an option, if we could finish all the requirements (4 years mathematics, 4 years science, four years, four years literature, health, gym, sociology, history, economics, 3 years of language, etc) we could graduate in three years. This was in conjunction with college classes taken at the local university (Case Western, Cleveland State).

I have a cert!

It only took me 6 wks to get it though.

Currently in school to turn that cert into an Associate's degree.

I'm not eloquent or intelligent though. Just smart af.

People with masters/PhDs cans you all drop some knowledge about GREs and other useful info you wish you knew at the start

I took the GRE in 2007 when the scoring system was different. Basically it is a timed test with a little clock in the corner of the screen. It was setioned into math, verbal and one written essay at the end. I scored fairly well considering I never studied for it. My advice would be to learn word association. Learn the root of words because there are words on the GRE that no one ever uses that are listed as follows:

Obstreperous is most closely associated with
A)
B)
C)
D)

At some points I was just guessing.. Also read the reading comprehension passages quickly because towards the end i was straight running out of time. And i had to guess the last few set of questions without reading the passages.

@ the number of masters

Im thinking of going back for mine now that i have the time just to say i got it.

It made a difference for me bro. People are basically snob so when they hear you have a Masters they are more likely to hire you. Its a brand thing breh.. shopping for a Honda Accord or a BMW both might run exactly the same but some hiring managers prefer the optics of it.

A semester left of undergrad, just took the LSAT again Saturday.
I'm definitely tempted by other grad programs including a PhD program in Political Science.

February may be your best bet at this point. I would recommend getting the Manhattan prep books for the LSAT, and taking a practice test at least every two weeks leading up to the exam.
Find out whatever your weakest point is (Logical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, Analytical Reasoning) and focus on that.
There is a Law School and Career thread on there I'd recommend looking through, and I'd also recommend the forum Top-Law-Schools, there is an incredible amount of useful information on that forum.
Be as consistent as possible, and pace yourself well, and you should do fine.
I'd also start my LSAC profile and get everything together.
UCLA and UC Berkeley are all better choices, btw. What was your uGPA?
