yes, LSAT is so damningly important

however, say, NYU admitted as many LSAT170 as it rejected. in this case, your PS means a lot. Your PS could make a difference in being admitted and being waitlisted, or between being admitted without money or being acceptd with a full tuition waiver

besides, i don't see any point in "buying" a PS from a so-called consulting company if you are going for JD in America. I once helped a girl with her PS, which was full of Chinese English and for which she paid 8000RMB

chelsea's points are absolutely valid. I can personally testify.

First of all, I don't mean your suggested book is not valuable. It might definitely handful to the PS. However, when <master the lsat> argue the importance of writing in LSAT, it asks why don't you put the time of preparing writing to the rest of lsat to make a obvious instinction so that the admission officer won't have the chance to compare your writing when two lsat scores are same. By this principel, why don't beat your enemy with your lsat, why give them the chance to crash you by PS? Anyway, preparing a beautiful LSAT and nice PS could never hurt.

pc, with all greatly overdue respect... :-)

I think chelsea's analysis on the important of PS is well-reasoned, and I don't think your reply necessarily refutes her argument.
