I mean, if you have the LSAT score you need and your apps are ready to go, I don't see why you wouldn't apply in September. Probably a good idea to take the June test (assuming you are ready) because then you just retake in October if you need to. It actually looks like taking in December is not really considered late anymore.RZ5646 wrote:So there is basically no point in applying as soon as possible in August/September?
This isn't true. Many people have reported getting Dillards after October.Since then, there have been virtually no Dillards handed out. But this was pretty strange of them to do.
From what I've seen there have been many many fewer dillards after fall than during fall.Winston1984 wrote:This isn't true. Many people have reported getting Dillards after October.Since then, there have been virtually no Dillards handed out. But this was pretty strange of them to do.
Well fall is different than after October.

OP, as you can see, people are still getting Dillards in January. I would guess that all of those folks that received Dillards in the fall would have received them in January.
It's better, but it's not materially better. If you're ready to go, submit. What's most important is you submit a strong application.RZ5646 wrote:So there is basically no point in applying as soon as possible in August/September?
