When should I apply? Does reapplying hurt?
Posted: Sun May 12, 2013 4:21 pm
My numbers: ~3.7 GPA from top 20 undergrad.
Softs: TFA and a competitive national scholarship
LSAT: Cold 161, month of practice on LG 168, haven't touched it in 2 years. I am looking to get to regularly PTing 174+ with 2-3 months practice.
My situation:
I have another year of TFA, and will be working full time during the summer. I plan on taking the October LSAT and see what happens.
But I don't know if I can have a great application together by November, or if I will be happy with my LSAT. I could work fulltime for a year after TFA, during which I could apply with a better application and have more time for LSAT prep.
My questions:
Could I apply in November, then retake LSAT and send that score? Would that leave me out in the cold money-wise?
I am shooting for Chicago, followed by MVP. I am crunching myself if I apply this October?
If I apply this October and don't get accepted or don't get the kind of aid I'm looking for, can I reapply the next year, or will that just hurt me?
Many thanks, and feel free to hate on my TFA.
