September 2007 Score - Fall 2013 Admission? Forum

[bsafra1]

Is it possible to apply for fall 2013 admission using a September 2007 LSAT score? When is the earliest one can apply for fall 2013 admission using the data assembly service?

From Columbia's website:

"For how long is an LSAT score considered valid?

An LSAT score is considered valid by the Admissions Committee for no longer than five years. Candidates applying for admission to the 2012 entering class as regular applicants may submit LSAT scores earned on or after the June 2007 administration, but no later than the December 2011 administration."

I don't think this varies by school.

So it looks like you have to be within the 5 years as of your anticipated start date in the program. Can anyone confirm whether there is any variation to this rule? I know you can now request that older scores appear on your LSDAS report.

Just checked and couldn't find much on it. I'll actually be on the phone with LSAC soon about a problem of my own and I'll ask for you if no one replies in time on this thread.

I had the exact same question as you. From my research just reading schools' websites it seems not to be a problem. 5 years from the day you received your score was standard for every school I checked. So just make sure you send in your app before October 20th or whenever you received your score in 2007.
