…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…

Admitted to Boston UniversityFirst, 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…
…MCAT prep, started LSAT prep. Took LSAT once and did not retake. Submitted all applications before Thanksgiving, wrote Why X for the schools I really cared about. My T3 soft is being published for clinical/biomolecular research in a reputable medical journal as second author. I also have a published abstract in the…
…took every single one twice and feel like blind review and retakes helped me understand the mechanics of the LSAT significantly better School Specifics: GULC - I made a “top tens” video which I think shone a little more light on my personality not reflected in my application, in the group interview I made a point to…
…a decent shot at the T14. If you’re not there, consider retaking (NOTE: This advice applies to the 2021-2023 cycles and may change in the future). If you are a splitter, apply early and broadly. Make sure you write all of the optional essays. A cohesive ‘Why Law’ narrative is critical in your written materials if…
…your greatness. viva la raza! To my R&R buddies: If you retake, do not be hard on yourself. I retook and got into so many more schools the second time around. You have options, you can achieve great things with more time and knowledge! Make sure to alter your PS if reapplying to same schools. Attending USC! Fight…
retake the lsat.
Took the LSAT for the first time in Sep 2020. Not completely happy with the score but decided not to retake because the stress with test prep while juggling work was unreal. R&R wasn’t really an option, partially due to the stress, partially because of the professional ceiling at my current job. Wrote “why X” for…
retake and reapply
3 years WE (2year public interest legal) oxbridge master’s degree welp.. didn’t go so well. will retake LSAT, keep working, and reapply
I forwent an LSAT retake and went for the early application gambit, taking my target schools by surprise. Did it work? Maybe. Quality over quantity: A lot of thought went into my school list, and I applied nowhere I wouldn’t have been thrilled to go. That showed in my materials. When it comes to written materials,…
…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…
Be honest and genuine in your essays. Make time to retake the LSAT at least once. Cast a wide net.
…and realistic about the chances, there’s no need to retake. I wrote a 2-page PS and 1-page DS for all schools. I had 3 LORs: 2 academic and 1 work. If the school offered me interview opportunities I always accepted them. I also did the following supplemental essays: Yale: Yale 250- Stanford: Short Essay about Music…
