If I defer, can I apply to other schools after deferring? Forum

[splitinfinitive]

I have been admitted to a school that I most likely want to defer at for a year. Is it possible for me, after deferring, to re-take the LSAT and apply to other schools as well? (to try to re-take the lsat and get into a better school in my year off)

I deferred for a year, and one of the conditions of my deferral agreement was that I would not apply to other schools. I suppose you could retake the LSAT, but you would have to give up your spot in order to actually apply to other law schools.

thanks! that's really helpful to know. i would only bother re-applying to schools if i went up about 5 points
