…and this score enables that! Hallelujah! I don’t think a retake is warranted here. A school that won’t take me with a 174 probably won’t take me with a 178 either. Retaking with a 174 might even be looked down on. I have all day today and tomorrow to decide whether or not to retake in April. Next step is focusing…

Admitted to Arizona State University…twice, scraping by a couple more points my second time. Retaking a 172+ score is extremely risky. You’re not only risking the possibility of doing worse, but the schools can also see your full LSAT report (with all the tests/scores you’ve had). The Deans of Admissions at HLS and YLS both had similar sentiments in…
…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…
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!
…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…
Start this process early. If you plan to be applying in the fall, take the LSAT in the spring to leave yourself time to retake if necessary. Start working on your personal statement. Get as many eyes as possible on your essays. In undergrad, try to take multiple classes with professors if you think you can do well…
…under their ED program, I never would’ve been able to retake the LSAT to be inclined to apply to UT. In every regard, I would’ve chosen UT over WashU, but with a 16-mid LSAT, I knew I only had a realistic shot at WashU. Again, sometimes pain can be a blessing in disguise.
retake the LSAT and don’t stress! you’ll end up wherever you need to be
…and anti-trust. Hoping for the best, I had planned to retake the LSAT but ran out of energy.
…to (my biggest error). Get a million eyes on your essays. Retake the lsat again if needed. My biggest takeaway- DONT SELL YOURSELF SHORT! i told myself i would be “practical” and this only hurt me when making a decision because I had huge imposter syndrome. Don’t be afraid to shoot your shot at more reaches! if i…
retake the lsat.
Non-trad student, applied very late bc I had to retake the LSAT in January. Duke UR3 4/15/21 In retrospect, should have waited a year and also written all the Why X essays…
…you have any control whatsoever (unless you decide to retake the LSAT). Fortunately, you have virtually unlimited control over how you present yourself in your applications- . See below and feel free to DM with questions: Advice for everyone: Most application advice you’ll get from lawyers is wrong. Your PS is not…
Jan. 2021 LSAT Flex (considered retaking, as I would like to minimize debt - however, I told myself that I would be satisfied with a 170+ before going into the test and felt that I should maintain that perspective. My PT average over the 12 or so tests that I took leading up to the January administration was a 171,…
Deferred from WashU to get some additional work experience and hopefully raise my scholarship through an LSAT retake.
…and utter thankfulness for not being straight rejected. Retaking a 172 is okay. A 173/174 is where it gets iffy. I tried to actively avoid putting my Big Sad on a platter for the Law School Trauma Farm, and instead focused on the qualities and characteristics that certain events will allow me to contribute to the…
