Heard about this last night! Currently debating what's more important: submitting an extra app or buying a ticket for this show.

Re: URM 2013-2014 Cycle Thread
Are you guys including an addendum for your LSAT score increase? I'm getting mixed feedback...some say yes because it's a significant increase, and others say no because I don't have a good reason other than studying differently

Re: URM 2013-2014 Cycle Thread
I think it generally depends on the school. I know Penn likes to see a couple of sentences about it no matter what, and Chicago doesn't like extraneous materials. But the general rule is to explain a score jump of 4+ points.kenwash wrote:Are you guys including an addendum for your LSAT score increase?

I increased +10 points. It's sounding like a yes to the addendum.Brettanomyces wrote:What are your scores?kenwash wrote:Are you guys including an addendum for your LSAT score increase?

I had a dream that the Proctor accused me of cheating on test day.

Ugh that's a horrible feeling. I had to take an Aleve for really bad stomach cramps during the test and I swore one of the other test takers was going to report me for suspicious activity. She was eyeing me throughout the rest of the test.toshiroh wrote:I had a dream that the Proctor accused me of cheating on test day.

FedEx can never seem to get into my building, so I don't know how I'm going to get this Vandy package from them.

Re: URM 2013-2014 Cycle Thread
Came to grips with reality. I'm PTing the exact same as what I made on my last LSAT, so I think I'm going to pull out of the December date because I have way too much to do in terms of graduation, school, & finishing my PS/DS/WhyX statements before Thanksgiving.
My backup plan is going to work if I get a good enough job or do grad school for a year and hopefully, now with that 20/20 hindsight, put in much more studying effort and make the score I should have gotten.
This is all assuming I can't get significant $$$ at somewhere like SMU, Houston, Alabama, etc... but the way I see it, as good as those schools are regionally, I'd rather not take the risk and significantly add on to my undergraduate debt when a bump to something like a 165 makes a tremendous difference.
So my question is, if I apply somewhere and get accepted/denied, but I want to hold out for a year, what happens, especially in the case of a denial. Can you reapply? Are they more likely to deny again if you can despite a hypothetically higher score & stronger app? I need to know this before I even consider applying to the top schools that sent me a fee waiver.

You can reapply, especially if there's a major change in your application I.e. an LSAT increase. If you get accepted somewhere you can always look into the school's deferral policy.
