…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…

…would enable me to accomplish my goals. After considering retaking the LSAT, I ultimately decided against it because I did not believe I’d be able to successfully study for the exam during the school year and had concerns about delaying my applications until later in the cycle by waiting for my score/wanting to do…
…happens to take a more discouraging attitude towards LSAT retakes in her videos. One of her videos (at the time of this writing) suggests that unless there are strong exigent circumstances that interfered with your LSAT, you should not retake, as most LSAT re-takers do not measurably improve their LSAT scores on…
if i could do it again, i would apply to fewer schools. i also wouldn’t retake the lsat - i took it a second time and scored lower. retaking is generally a good idea, but i didn’t set myself up for success to score higher by retaking it during the same semester i was taking 19 credits and writing my app materials.…
Overview: I came into the cycle hopeful about my softs, but honestly, they only care about numbers lol >.<!! So, if you can, definitely retake the LSAT (preferably 160 and up) or win competitive scholarships [i.e., MMSP, Mcdonnell, Earl Warren, SEO Law, etc.]. Don’t get me wrong; I was super proud of myself for…
…networking etc. but you have an uphill battle). When to retake and when not to. I personally struggled with this and this is the ultimate advice i can give. if you are able to get into a regional school that realistically can get you the career you want, there is no need to retake. If you personally want to be a…
…deferral offer, I asked the admissions office if I could retake the LSAT for a higher score during my deferral year, and they said I could as long as it was the october 2025 LSAT or earlier. I ended up retaking it in september and got a 172. this score was taken into account when calculating my aid, and I was…
…however I can. robdymes123@hotmail.com Semper Fi. Dec 5th: Retake the LSAT if you can! This cycle has been brutal for me with waitlist hell. I’m fairly confident that if I had a better LSAT I would have gotten more acceptances. My issue came down to timing, work, and retirement planning. Take more time with LSAT…
Stats are 90% of what matters. At non t14s, they’re 100% of what matters. My LSAC GPA was significantly worse than my transcript GPA because I had to retake a class that I sorta quit on my freshman year (oops). This absolutely hurt my cycle, maybe more for scholarship amounts than for acceptances. Essays and resume…
Not a ton of wisdom here you can’t find on reddit or podcasts or whatnot. Don’t be afraid to retake your LSAT. Shoot your shot. Only apply places you’d be happy to attend. Disregard rankings, or better yet create your own: https://myrankbyspivey.com I guess my only real insights are for fellow low-income applicants.…
was PTing at 169-174, but got an absolute monster of a games section on my second official, and thus I got a 166. Pretty unhappy with that score. May retake in April if no solid acceptances by then. UPDATE - 11/30/2023 - going to apply to a couple schools but likely a retake in February and then rinse and repeat for…
…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…
…not have regrets about your performance on the test or not retaking. I was PTing 17mid prior to test day but had a bad test. I needed to go to school this year so I chose not to retake. I liked NDLS the best so I accepted there after receiving a late A.
…go to. If you are considering reapplying, PLEASE consider retaking your LSAT if you think you can improve. I know the test is dumb, but my biggest regret from reapplying is that I didn’t retake the LSAT. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR CYCLE!!! Below is a comparison of my results from each cycle: Stanford: 2020-21: Rejected…
…intensive LSAT study, 15-20 hours per week. If you have to retake it, retake it: if you have a 3.3, the difference between a 167 and a 171 is astronomical. I would highly recommend working part-time to give studying the proper amount of time, focus, and energy, even if it means taking out a loan or moving back in…
TL;DR… APPLY EARLY AND RETAKE THE LSAT! 6 years WE, most recently a project manager role with a well known FinTech Company. Went to a state school for undergrad, but I was very involved (lots of internships during school and waited tables over the summers, sorority Vice President, multiple clubs with leadership…
…to prepare and respond to each question, with multiple retakes allowed. Another school asked serious interview questions in rapid succession, giving me little time to prepare and respond to each question, with no retakes allowed. Whatever you do, don’t go in unprepared. These are simple and obvious tips, especially…
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.…
