June LSAT for fall, 2014 admission? Forum

[Jmazz88]

Hello everyone,

So basically here is my dilemma. I have not yet taken the LSAT and have signed up for Junes exam. I originally was going to wait until the fall to apply, but with the decline in apps, I have been contemplating applying for fall admission. My concern is scholarship opportunities. I have been told that in an effort to fill seats schools will offer scholarships to June LSAT test takers. Does this have any truth to it? Ideally I will be applying to schools where I fall into the <75percentile for the LSAT. Or should I just wait until the fall? I understand T14 is out of the question that late in the game.

Thanks!

The decline in apps will, presumably, be there next year. Even if a school does accept June scores - which most schools that are worth going to probably wouldn't - a big chunk of the scholly money will be gone. Apply in the fall.

Yeah, if your main concern is scholarship money, you're still better off waiting and applying in the fall. That way you can get a full range of scholarship offers, rather than just offers from schools that are trying to fill up their incoming classes.
