September Score Release Live Extravaganza

from The 7Sage Podcast

September score release day is stressful, so we went live to answer your questions in real time. Alex, Bailey, Ethan, and Shamala work through pre-recorded questions and chat questions from students who just got their scores. We cover: Whether to retake after a score that came in under your PT average Why retaking a 176 usually isn't worth it, and why a 170 against NYU or Columbia medians usually is How to decide whether to apply this cycle or wait a year How Canadian law school admissions differ from the US, including McGill's timeline Whether November or January is too late to apply How to trust your PT scores and keep your confidence up after a bad score release day How many PTs to take before test day Why a 3.4 GPA changes the retake math, and what to do instead If your score wasn't what you hoped for, you're in good company. Take a breath, get an ice cream cone, and keep going.
