Wake up babe, new Dean Z video just dropped

[@reginaldcharles1133]

Dean Z Dean Z ..yes I love the wonderful Dean Z

[@TheDitty5]

Dean Z always coming through with super useful info. Thank you!!

I am one of those people who struggled with logics games but not with the analytical reasoning section. I really struggled with timing and usually missed 6-8 LG questions, usually the entire last section. I am just generally slow with drawing diagrams and am bad at visualization in general. Maybe it was because I self studied and never got into the right habits for that section haha
My official LSAT was 169, and I was rejected early from Michigan. When I practiced without logics games and regularly got 175+. I really wanted to be back in Ann Arbor, and maybe I should have waited another year to apply, but I'm really fortuntate to have been accepted to law school at all as a grad school drop out haha. Even though I won't get to be part of the Michigan law community, I'm really grateful for the advice Dean Z gives out. It's hard doing something like this on your own as a first gen applicant.

Hey Dean Z
Most, if not all, of your videos discuss the admissions process. I'd love to have your insight on what it takes to actually succeed in law school once you become a student.

[@ItsJuju09]

Hi Dean Z! Can you make a video on transferring law schools? I would love to know the process, the pros and cons, and anything else an aspiring transfer needs to know. Thank you!

[@umichlaw]

Thanks for the suggestion! We're going to let you in on a little secret: this is exactly what Dean Z will be talking about in the next episode :)

[@lupitahaussmann]

Good question.

[@danielcappell]

Scare quotes!!! Fun fact, the label "scare quotes" comes GEM Anscombe! (Philosophy major dab)

[@user-bc1be3lz9p]

Dean Z can you please make a video on international J.D. application, for candidates who want to apply to international Law School like michigan law and want to practice like capital market and international arbitration.

Imo, they coulda brought back the oddball sections that shuffled in and out of the lsat from 1948-1991. What -1l wouldnt want to take an LSAT that tested general knowledge about American agriculture , skill at connections-style "inductive reasoning" (where some of the questions involve recognizing actors' names), and the ability to quickly see Gottschaldts
Edit: RUclips's not letting me make a new comment for some reason. You can find the fascinating old last sections by searching this: A Compendium of LSAT and LSAC-Sponsored Item Types, 1948 1994

[@bensonfang1868]

Just for historical research and “fun” purposes, is there somewhere I could find these question types online?

[@danielcappell]

@@bensonfang1868 Yes! google this: A Compendium of LSAT and LSAC-Sponsored Item Types, 1948 1994. LSAC Research Report Series
