Will Feb LSAT Help Money Situation?
Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2013 4:19 pm
Hello. After searching on the forums for an answer, I thought it was best to just start a new topic. I took the LSAT in December and got a 161, which considering my 3.68 GPA, is good enough to get me accepted to the schools I'd like to attend.
While I wanted to retake the LSAT in February anyway for personal pride reasons as I know I can do better than that, I was also wondering if retaking it will increase my chances for financial assistance to schools I've already applied to and schools in which I haven't applied, but the deadline is March 1.
For schools I've already applied to, if accepted before the February scores come in, will LSAC send an updated report to them? And If so, is it too forward to email them afterwards and state my new score while asking about merit scholarships?
For schools in which I haven't applied to yet, but have deadlines of March 1, is it a good idea to wait until close to the deadline to apply so that they will also receive the last LSAT score or is that a bad idea and I should go ahead and apply? I'm not worried about getting in, I'm just worried about the money situation.
Any info is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
