Top Law Schools

This may be a silly question, but I need to know.

If you apply to a law school with one LSAT score and you are accepted/waitlisted/denied, and you retake the test during the same admission cycle and get a better score, does your new score make a difference in your admission decision?

I think if you're denied, you're done. If you're accepted, well, then you're accepted. If you're waitlisted for further review, then yes, a retake will factor (how heavily it factors depends on the difference between your original and retake).
