…this, let me begin by making it clear that I am an R&R (retake & reapply) applicant from the previous cycle where I was rejected or waitlisted from every school I applied to other than 2 non-ranking schools. My LSAT at the time was a 150. That disappointing cycle motivated me to transform my frustration into…

Don’t freak out. I’m retaking the LSAT loud sigh
…all the best for future cycles whether as a transfer or retake and reapply :)
don’t be like me!!!!!!!! aim to apply early (Sept-Thanksgiving) however definitely only apply when ready If you are retaking the LSAT in a later point in the cycle: Aim to use no later than Jan or Feb LSAT score.

Retake, Reapply.
…LSAC thing where a test taker can delete their scores and retake. I think it is discriminatory against economically challenged applicants) 2. Consider taking time off after undergrad: Many people take a gap before law school, which can be beneficial. I did, and it was a great experience—don’t feel like you’re…
…LSAT and then decided to put my applications on hold to retake the LSAT in Feb. FSU accepted me w/ my 154 and I sent my Feb score (159) to the schools I put on hold and was later accepted to those schools. You probably found my page by frantically stalking the graphs. You will be so fine. You will get into the law…
Do not make the same mistake I did in being too impatient. Retaking the LSAT… (◕︵◕)
…it out of the way as soon as you can so you have time to retake if necessary. If I could go back in time, I would have studied longer, and taken it during my year-long gap between my AA and BA degrees. If your school has a + / - grading system, try your best to get the +! It will help your CAS gpa.
**TLDR: ** (1) Prioritize LSAT (for scholarships) (2) Application Quality > Submission Speed If I did this again, I would retake the LSAT. A higher LSAT can really open doors not only for getting acceptances, but more importantly, merit scholarships. Everyone says to apply as early as you can, which isn’t bad…
…was ripped from me. It was too late in the cycle for a retake (I took November LSAT and was working full time at an intensive job). I felt like a failure to my family, friends and spouse. Despite this I really wanted to go to law school in the fall it was a goal I set for myself. I went into this cycle expecting to…

shooting my shot this year then might retake the LSAT and try again next year
…about my goals and where I wanted to end up. Decided to retake just to see if I still had some left in the tank. Got a 171, which is still somehow borderline for T-14, but Reddit + LSD helped me see that it was worthing giving it another shot! This year’s stats: LSAT: 171 CAS CPA: 3.84 Work Experience: 3ish years -…
…my camera slipped and covered my forehead. Decided to not retake, as 178 is above every school’s 75th percentile. Decision dates not accurate, uploaded them retroactively
2022–23 cycle
I am retaking and reapplying. I tried to do too much between college sports, class, lsat, and various other activities. I landed a full time job with my major and I am excited to get some WE and work on getting my LSAT up for the 2023-2024 cycle. Last cycle results:…
My biggest advice is to RETAKE** **the LSAT if you are not content with your score! It’s one of the best things I’ve done in my admissions process. A STRONGER APPLICATION IS BETTER THAN AN EARLY ONE! Don’t stress about the timing of your application. I took the October one and was supposed to apply in November, but…
…My goal was to get into YLS(middle finger) hence the retake, but I think this could have led to some YP at some schools. Write good essays that have a strong why law, especially if you’re KJD. KJDs routinely make up the majority of applicants who underperform their stats and it’s almost always due to lackluster…
Took June & October 2023 LSAT. Both were not my goal score, but I still applied to all law schools listed below. Ultimately decided to retake the exam one more time & did significantly better on the February of 2024 LSAT. I hope this is helpful to those who are discouraged or worried about taking the LSAT one last…
