3 THINGS Shoot your shot. If you scored below your consistent PT range maybe consider retaking (don’t let people on Reddit bully you into retaking though) Keep calm this is a marathon, not a sprint. If someone that applied at the same time as you gets in and you don’t that does not mean you’re out of the running.…

…LSAT and got a 157 and 152 respectively. I wasn’t going to retake because its expensive and I was losing hope, but I’m glad I did. I think my score boost and my LSAT addendum could have had a really good impact on my outcomes - so if you can retake, I would really think about doing so - especially in the summer/fall…
LSAT 168 GPA 3.77 2026–27 cycle
…Score: 168 September 2026 Score (Insane Tech Issues on RETAKE): 165 (sad) October 2026 Score: TBD
Don’t be afraid to retake and reapply! It’s about getting the right deal, not school at all costs. See exoplanetary-lawyer for my reapplicant profile. I can’t hide last cycle’s results on my personal page so I made a new account. This account is kept for austerity and because it’s a real data point for the cycle.
…LSAT was only 174. Only after I was waitlisted there did I retake the LSAT and apply to the other schools. *****EDIT EDIT EDIT: Sike guys I got off the Chicago Waitlist lol so ignore everything never mind WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Mistakes made this cycle: I applied really late. I didn’t get my new LSAT until end of…
…plan at best. Be careful (and strategic) if you decide to retake and reapply. I was pretty accurate with my predictions, the only real surprises were the Pepperdine A, Baylor WL, and W&M R. Turns out I was wrong about a waitlist there (lol). Unless you’re biglaw or bust, follow the money. Most schools are not worth…
…to study and maybe a cushion of time in case you need to retake. Apply EARLY! My graduate degree was from abroad so I had all kinds of issues getting a degree equivalency through LSAC once I had my final transcript in hand. This situation caused me to be a February applicant for several schools which is not a good…
…you. If I wanted to, I would’ve taken another year to retake the LSAT and score even higher, but at some point I figured I’d just jump in. My long-term goals are PI anyway.
…Hoping for better success this go or I will study for and retake the LSAT.
…shot maybe? Put in as much time as you can on the LSAT Retake until you’re at a score you’re happy with, or at/above medians of the schools you’re excited about. It is the best use of your time for getting into law school, and worth more than any amount of time you spend working on your personal statement (but do…
…for some reason, got very lucky and did not have to retake. Graduating a year early (Super KJD). Standard pre-law major and somewhat difficult course load (18-21 credits per semester). Attended a low-ranked, very small public University in my state (90+% acceptance rate) on a full scholarship cause I am poor. No…
don’t let reddit convince you you have to retake a 165 lsat
LSAT 177 GPA 3.14 2024–25 cycle
We’re back with an retake and reapply cycle!!! I increased my LSAT from a 169 to a 177. You can see how my next cycle goes over on @ActionCat Stay tuned
…I wasn’t confident in my ability to do much better on a retake, though in hindsight even a point or two higher might’ve made the difference at NDLS given the 170+ median they seem to be targeting this year. It’s unfortunate how focused schools are on medians, but you have to play the game if you want to win. I ended…
LSAT 149 GPA 2.60 2024–25 cycle
Do not give up! Rejected from 20+ schools, so I’m going back to school and proving that my poor GPA is not who I am. Retaking the LSAT in a year or two. It just happens to be a different path than I wanted but that’s okay. FUCK what reddit says
UGA or bust! applying ED to UGA. wish me luck… *retaking LSAT in Oct. since my average before June was a 169. Shooting for 170+ “Never, ever, EVER give up.”- Michael Scott Update: got a 169 in October!
First, I’m applying the 24-25 cycle with a GRE only. Assuming I get off of 0 waitlists (as I write this, I have at least 6), it would probably be time to retake and reapply with an actual LSAT. Don’t use Blueprint unless your diagnostic is already 160+. I’m going to use LSAT Demon to try assuming I don’t get one…
…in the process to get the test jitters out/down and then retaking later once you have a consistent PT score. Request Fee Waivers! Most schools give them out, so it’s an easy way to save money during an expensive process. I saved ~$400 just by sending a few emails. Also ask for scholarship reconsideration. I saved…
