Defer UM or ND vs retake LSAT
Posted: Mon Jun 17, 2013 12:57 pm
I'm on the waitlist for both ND and UMich (few other T20s) but these are my top two schools. I currently work and have some compelling reasons to defer until next year . My plan would be to work and save some more money while i take care of the other things going on in my life (my reasons for a deferral = Family + work). Would it be wise to defer or just retake the LSAT? I'm sitting on a 163/3.4 - work in consulting/ibanking with an entrepreneurship background. I'm only 2 years our of UG.
Assuming i get off the waitlist at one or both and can get a deferral, what are the opinions on this vs retaking the LSAT and reapplying?
I think i could score much higher LSAT, but i also don't want to risk not getting into a top school, otherwise i wont go to LS - too high risk IMHO. I'm thinking of retaking even if i defer just to try and score a bit higher scholarship although this isn't a guarantee.
I have very good softs (varsity athlete at top public, startup experience in school, currently coach in free-time, etc) and great recommendations from work (boss and clients) as well as a few personal/educational ones which are very strong.
