Help ease my anxiety about applying in late October
My original plan was to take the LSAT in June and apply as soon as applications opened, but due to a variety of personal reasons, this turned out to be impossible and instead I'm taking it in October. Assuming scores are back by about the 20th, would I be at any disadvantage by applying at that point in the cycle? Would it affect my ED chances? I'm likely going to ED to NYU or Columbia (unless I really bomb my LSAT) if it makes any difference.

Nice and helpful. Not sure what I really expected from TLS this late anyway

Re: Help ease my anxiety about applying in late October
didn't apply till mid to late november for most of my apps, got into NYU and CLS. especially if you're EDing I can't think why it would make any difference. "Late" is more like post-Thanksgiving or post Christmas even.

Re: Help ease my anxiety about applying in late October
I applied in late January for NYU (29-30th) and Feb 6th at Columbia. In fact I included an incorrect LoR at CLS and didn't complete my app officially until 3/13.
This wasn't ED so I can't speak to that, but applying late wasn't a big issue this year. Schools accepted students off wait lists and late apps in droves. If you have competitive numbers, stop worrying about late October being an issue.

Re: Help ease my anxiety about applying in late October
this is pretty much what I meant. i think most of your anxiety is probably coming from not knowing your lsat score than having to apply [late for early people].StrictlyBusiness wrote:If you have competitive numbers, stop worrying about late October being an issue.

Okay, that's great to know. I didn't really have any idea of what "early" or "late" really was. Thank you.
