Law School Discussion

Duquesne is a solid school.  I've heard good things about it from several difft people.  Oustide of the Pitt area I don't know if it carries much weight...but if you're planning on staying in the area for a while, you should be fine.

Good luck

If ya still need someone to take a look at it, send it my way and I'll look it over for ya.

So I had a couple professors write letters of rec for me, but there was one who I knew would write me a very good letter (he's written a few for me before).  The only problem though, is he didn't sign the back of the envelope that has the letter of recomendation in it.  He is on leave from the University for the next month or so...and I'm planning on sending in all my letters of rec in before he gets back.

Do you think it would be a bad idea to still send in this professor's letter (unopened, but unsigned)??  or should I just send in my other two letters instead??

Thanks for the help ya'll!

13)  Studies have shown that, contrary to popular belief, middle-aged people have more fear of dying than do elderly people.

Each of the following, if true, contributes to an explanation of the phenomenon shown by the studies EXCEPT:

A)  The longer one lives, the more likely it is that one has come to terms with dying.
B)  Middle-aged people have more people dependent upon them than people of any other age group.
C)  Many people who suffer from depression first become depressed in middle age.
D)  The longer one lives, the more imperturbable one becomes.
E)  Middle-aged people have a more acute sense of their own mortality than do people of any other age group.

The correct ans here is C...but for the life of me I can't figure out how this answers the question.  Is it because it has no impact on the stimulus?


19)  If the flowers Drew received today had been sent by someone who knows Drew well, that person would have known that Drew prefers violets to roses.  Yet Drew received roses.  On the other hand, if the flowers had been sent by someone who does not know Drew well, then that person would have sent a signed card with the flowers.  Yet Drew received no card.  Therefore, the florist must have made some sort of mistake; either Drew was supposed to receive violets, or a card, or these flowers were intended for someone else.

Which one of the following statements, if true, most weakens the argument?

A)  Most people send roses when they send flowers.
B)  Some people send flowers for a reason other than the desire to please.
C)  Someone who does not know Drew well would be unlikely to send Drew flowers.
D)  The florist has never delivered the wrong flowers to Drew before.
E)  Some people who know Drew well have sent Drew cards along with flowers.

I chose D, but the correct response is B.  Any insight??  Thanks for the help!

So I'm taking the Kaplan course to help prepare for the Sept LSAT.  I'm having decent success (though I've been using the LRB in order to better tackle the LR sections)

With that being said, I'll occassionally miss a couple questions on the LR sections when doing practice tests.  However, when I do the practice sections in the Kaplan hw book (they mix several different LR sections together), I find myself missing almost half the section...

I'm kind of getting frustrated, as normally I miss somewhere in the range of 5 - 7 per LR section.  But when I try the Kaplan HW book, I can't seem to score very well.  Any ideas/suggesstions on what's going on here?  Thanks!
