As I run into them, I’ll post interesting or helpful articles, podcasts and videos that I find on the internet.

I recently drove up to Atlanta for the weekend but did not know the University of Florida would be holding their Spring Football game that weekend as well. This made the usual 6.5 hour trip from Tampa to Atlanta into a grueling 9.5 hour trip. It did give me the luxury, though, of downloading all of the available LSAT Logic in Everyday Life podcasts from the Princeton Review. I can’t speak for the in person classes that the Princeton Review holds as I have not attended them, but I do own their review book and have listened to over 7 hours worth of their podcasts. The review book is fairly basic and there are other books that handle tha material in a better fashion. The podcasts, though, can be very helpful to a certain type of prospective LSAT examinee. If you have not taken a Logic course before going into the LSAT or are having trouble translating LSAT-based logical reasoning into word problems or vice-versa, then the LSAT in Everyday Life podcasts might be helpful to you. In the podcasts, the caster picks a contemporary event and breaks down the logic behind the arguments into LSAT-related terms. If anything, it is a good lesson in repetition to alleviate all personal biases from your LSAT answers. It is noted in every podcasts that you should reject any personal feelings on the subject and deal strictly with the material presented to you by the LSAT questions and answers. This may seem like a small problem but it is fairly easy to fall into this trap if you are not careful.

I also found an article published the other day by US News entitled “How to Get In: Cornell University.” It seems there might be a series of these, but this one was the most recently published and the Cornell admissions representative was fairly honest in his or her replies. It is a short read, but I reccomend anyone who is considering applying to a university of their caliber to give it a complete read.
