So i have a 3.28GPA with a very high upward trend (3.8 for the last 2 years)
my LSAT was a 158
My safety school going into the LSAT was catholic U because i want to practice in DC and my average on my last 10 preptests was a 164 (ouch). So i am 99% sure that i can score higher in october since i havent scored below a 160 on a preptest within my last 30 tests. I think on test day i was trying to do to much.
Anyway with a 3.28/158 i am right on the borderline at Catholic U. Should i apply now for early admission? When are those decisions made? If i am rejected and score a 16X in october, will my previous application hurt my new re-ap?
should i apply to safety school, my lsat was horrible Forum

good luck!

Your safety school should be one that you'd be happy to graduate from. If that's not true for the safety you've chosen, then why not wait and retake in October (which is still early)?

This is correct. You have until the end of November (depends on school) to apply ED so you still have time to retakecinephile wrote:Your safety school should be one that you'd be happy to graduate from.

You'd probably get into Catholic, but with no money. Don't apply until the new score is in.john1990 wrote:So i have a 3.28GPA with a very high upward trend (3.8 for the last 2 years)
