Best school these numbers can get a free ride at? Forum

[Rigo]

Further questions:
1: Aren't this year's medians a bit skewed so far? All the first picks are in but not everybody just yet.
What schools are you interested in knowing the medians for? We know the medians for most schools even though not all the 509's have come out yet.
Check here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv? ... true&gid=9
A lot of the other info is missing but the medians are there for the most part.

2: My apps have been in for a while now--many (if not most) are under review. Does withdrawing after receiving an offer from people and reapplying next cycle hurt you? At this point they'll have already seen my apps.
No. Personal stuff comes up all the time. If they ask if you want to defer, say no.

3: What are the general rules for retaking? What happens (god forbid!) if I have slightly lower scores than 162 on the second round and for some colossally stupid reason don't catch this fact and cancel?
A lower score will not adversely affect you. You have nothing to lose by retaking.

Random question, but you seem like someone who would know the answer, are these medians the accepted medians or the matriculating medians? I would imagine if they're the matriculating medians, than for most schools other than HYS, the accepted medians are actually higher.

They're the matriculating medians.

Sorry to bump a slightly dying thread:


Because of scheduling issues I can't really study or prep for next year's June exam. Bearing in mind that I can start prep in early August of 2015 (traveling extensively) is it better to prep for ~2 months at a high intensity for the October LSAT or to prep a full 3+ months for the December test?

In addition, I'll be able to do some preliminary diagnostic work this January/February and some sustaining practice in the months after that. However doubt that this practice will fully stick but it will at least build some skills on LG. So how bad is the December test for your chances at the T14 (cautiously assuming an increase of 3-6 points and a 3.7--that aint changing)? FWW, I'd be targeting Penn and Cornell in that scenario.

December isn't too late, just take it when you'll get the highest score (meaning applying with a 169 in December>>>>>>>>>>168 in October)

This really depends on medians. There are instances where one point makes no difference. As a general matter, every point is huge.
