Description
Nathan and Ben don’t recommend studying full-time. Still, many students struggle to commit to one high quality hour of study per day. This week, the guys prompt over-committed listeners to reconsider their priorities and to make time for the LSAT. Later, the guys question whether undergraduate GPA inflation is making law school admissions more competitive. They examine a potential disadvantage faced by in-state applicants. And they break down how to approach an LSAT question when all of the answer choices seem terrible.
