Thinking about Re-taking the LSAT?
Categories: Application Timeline
7 Comments »
Did you just get your LSAT score? Many February LSAT takers are in one of these two situations:
1. Applying for Fall 2008 and now wondering whether to add some schools to the list, or
2. Applying for Fall 2009 and considering re-taking the LSAT in June.
Applying late in the cycle is problematic; many deadlines have passed and others are fairly meaningless because schools may state they continue to accept applications, but the only successful applications are those at or above the 75th percentile numbers. You may want to consider changing courses and following Option #2 and -whether you retake the LSAT in June or not- apply early for Fall 2009.
That buys you the spring and summer to continue to build your experiences and the pieces of your applications, putting you on the ideal time line for law school admissions.
P.S. In the next day or so I’ll be continuing the previous discussion forum discussion, so stay tuned.
