Ann — I enjoy your blog. I have a unique financial aid question. I’ve been admitted to a few top schools, but I haven’t been offered much scholarship money. I’ve noticed that some people with a similar GPA but higher LSAT scores have received significant money from my schools. I can’t really complain about my LSAT score, but I know I underperformed and was a few points below my practice average.
I am planning to defer for a year for personal reasons, and I have heard that schools reassess your financial aid package on an annual basis. Is it worth retaking the LSAT during my year off in hopes that a higher score will qualify for some scholarship money?

I.O.U. a draft of that essay . . . almost done but I’m too tired to finish it tonight so I’ll talk to you tomorrow, Ann!
Hey, I’ll even check out that you-know-what tomorrow, too.

Since you’re planning to defer, it absolutely might help you in the scholarship department. Yes!
