Should I retake the Feb LSAT for Fall Scholarships? Forum

[Magnew1197]

I took the December LSAT and scored 6 points below my average PT. With the score I have I will be admitted into most of the schools I am applying for, but my score is the median or slightly above. Consequently, my scholarship chances are pretty significantly diminished. I am currently unemployed and can study for the LSAT 10-14 hours a day and believe I could improve my score at least the 6 points I was PTing at. I intend to send in my applications on Tuesday.

Should I retake the FEB LSAT and submit that score post admittance for the chance of receiving a scholarship?

I appreciate any and all help in this matter.

Anyone have a more helpful response?

Yes, you should retake.

I asked this in another thread, but should I retake if I am almost certain I'm a WL at HYS?

Do they consider improved February scores in the admissions process?

Yes, you should retake.

Agreed, but you may also want to consider postponing your law school plans if you don't get the schollie offers you're looking for. It is worth postponing law school for an extra $50-60k in support and that money may not still be there in March when they have a chance to fully consider you for it. I'm sure it's not the answer you're looking for, but in 95% it's worth holding off for the cash.
