Worth waiting for old score to expire?
Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2012 11:30 pm
Hey all, I'm in an unusual position. I took the LSAT in Feb 2008, and was unhappy with my score. I ended up not applying, but now I'm planning to re-take. I am considering whether to apply in Fall 2012 or wait until Fall 2013 when my old score will evidently have expired. Obviously, it depends on how much improvement I see.
I have seen other TLS posts that claim that some schools ask you to report *all* scores, even those that are older than 5 years:

Anybody know which schools these might be, or have a general opinion on whether it's worth it to wait for an old score to expire?
(Incidentally, it seems that scores expire on the first June 1st after the 5-year anniversary of your administration, rather than precisely 5 years after the administration date: http://www.lsac.org/jd/Help/faqs-lsat.asp#score-report.)
