ill start prepping in january and aim for august lsat or september even. would it look bad if i have 3-4 attempts on my record? I already took it twice and cancelled my first score so im bit worried about that lol

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

14:59

nope lots of people take the lsat 3-4 times

llama

14:59

@VolatileClumsyAcolyte: is it bad: some schools seem to prefer 1 and done vs 2+ takes. Is it better for you? If score much higher- yes. Overall, if it makes sense for u go for it

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

14:59

you might have to write an addendum though, but schools really want higher medians so if they see a big number that's all they honestly care about

CLS is my dream school and the only reason I am considering reapplying is to probably score higher and have better chances there, so fingers crossed they're chill about it

llama

with that targeted goal/ willingness to take a year to improve score, and from what you have said, it seems like a great option to reapply early next cycle w/ a higher score. best of luck!
