So I've decided to re-take the LSAT, I think adding 5-6 more point to my 163 would really open a lot up for me T14 wise. Not sure if I'll have to wait til Sept/Dec though since I used up all my 3 takes OCT 15 FEB 16 and DEC 16.

Don't you have to wait two years?

You'll have to wait until December I think, because September still won't be 2 years since since the first take.

Edited: Actually, I vaguely remember someone taking it a month before it was two years because it was close enough to a two-year gap between administrations. I'd e-mail LSAC.

The way I understand the rule is its "3 times in a 2 year window" so since my first time taking it was OCT. 15, I would be eligible 2 years after this time. If I'm intepreting this wrong but this is just what ive seen on TLS, Reddit, google, etc. Now whether or not I can take in Sept. or Dec. i'm not 100% sure.

BTW if someone is reading this and I'm mistaking PLZ LET ME KNOW THX

Good idea I will email them asap and ask. I have really bad test anxiety and I sat last Dec. after sleeping for 2 hours. BIG MISTAKE on my part

I thought about retaking but honestly my cycle has gone so well that I forgot that I don't even care anymore lol. Yeah that's a good choice if you have the time and I hope you do better bro.

thanks man, and congrats on your cycle! I know you got USC, thats a great option for Cali. I'm still waiting on schools to get back to me but I applied pretty late. I mean if I have a good option or two I'll consider it of course. My gpa sucks tho (3.1) so I think I need a higher LSAT + putting apps in earlier if I want a T14.

Yeah a higher LSAT will offset your GPA. The same way how my GPA helps offset my LSAT.

Sometimes I think since I am going into law I could have done computer science for undergrad because you can do whatever and go to law school. On the other hand, I really enjoy the Political Philosophy courses that I was able to take. Those classes challenged me the most and truly excited me. Political Science is a nice major but everything came too easy to me.

I would never do comp sci in undergrad. It's so easy to learn on your own, and fewer jobs are requiring the degree now, and just test your aptitude. I truly believe compsci will be a big help in equalizing the playing field for many who cannot afford higher ed.

Yeah that's one thing I thought about that it is easy to learn on your own. There are many coding websites as well and jobs are being shifted overseas. I'm glad I got to challenge myself. The thing is I was always really good at math as well.

Very similar stats to you but I was still holding out hope! 165 3.7 AA female from an Ivy (applying K-JD) but just got my Feb LSAT score tonight so I doubt they've looked at my application yet. Do you really think its an automatic ding?

i went to a state school. and that 2 points extra on your lsat will be a huge boost giving a much higher chance than me....

Your application must have had some really good strengths because Cornell has been very picky this year! Are you also first-generation?
