Rejected, but retaking the LSAT in February Forum

[john1990]

I was rejected from a school that i think i will be able to be more competitive after the February lsat. I had not notified them of my intent to retake because i thought i would be a WL. Is it possible to reapply for the same cycle?

As far as I know, no schools allow you to apply twice in the same cycle.

Nopes, retake in June, reapply next cycle.

+1 retake on June at least that will give you more time to prep and Feb. means you'll get your score end of Feb/early March.

Seems like this is the best answer. The LSAT sucks, of course. Hopefully some schools will stop requiring it once the ABA gets their collective act together and stops requiring them to.

I would call the admissions department for the school and ask them, because I am not sure the advice here is correct. While it is technically true you cannot "reapply" for the same cycle, I believe in a lot of cases you can appeal a rejection if there is a change in circumstances.

I would forward all complaints to usnwr.

They have much more authority than the ABA.

Thank you for the idea, i will definitely give them a call in February after i get my new LSAT score.

Speaking from experience, Feb score is so late usually it under performs the numbers. Best bet is to reapply if you score higher. That's if they would even look at it since they already made a decision. Most schools say decisions are final, and there isn't usually an appeal process.
