Can schools revoke offers if I retake the LSAT in June? Forum

[Lightworks]

I was PTing 178-180 for weeks before the June 2013 test, but had a disastrous day (forgot my watch, got lost in the basement of the building for 15 minutes and barely made it to the room on time). I got a 173 in October, which was my cut-off point for retaking again (I was cool with Columbia at sticker back then). I was working 60 hours a week at the time, and barely did any prep between June and October.

The more I look through other people's cycles, I am seeing a real shot at H if I can make the jump to 176+ and apply day one (3.6 GPA, will have 3 years of solid W/E if I wait a year). Even if I don't get H, it looks like another 3 or 4 points could be worth $50K+ in additional scholarships at the lower T14.

My question though, is if I were to drop significantly (I think it's extremely unlikely, but can't rule it out), could schools I have already been accepted at withdraw their offer, or even just decrease my scholarship?

If you want more at a lower t14 why not work another year and Early Decision Northwestern for a 150k full-ride? 173/3.6 will certainly get you a full-ride there and 51% get big law every year so if you don't care about working NY or Chi think about that.

If your absolutely set on law school next year at any cost then yea retake June and get more money. Don't go Columbia sticker with those numbers get some money if you must otherwise grab money from NYU or Cornell if set on NY or some other school Penn, UVA, Berk etc.

Retake in June has been discussed in a few threads recently.

The Spivey thread

As well as a few other threads I cannot locate at the moment.

The general consensus is that a revocation seems highly unlikely.

Again, still below a median, not a slam dunk for NU ED.

Why would they want to rescind your admission or lower your scholarship? They still get to report your highest score for the rankings, so it shouldn't make the tiniest bit of difference.

(I also don't think they could rescind/lower, but that's just a guess.)

the 150k scholarship isn't even close to a full-ride at Northwestern

150/165k tuition. It's pretty close to a full ride unless you think full ride means it includes a stipend.

I think you've got it backwards. The Hamilton is usually referred to as a full tuition scholly. The Ruby is a full ride

The vast majority of times times someone says "I got a full ride!"on tls, they are referring to full tuition without a stipend, is all I'm saying.

NU ED will cost me 60k before interest. Planning to live on only 15k/year. I've learned to be poor, and this may not be possible for everyone. Taking the full COL amount will bring cost up to 75k before interest.
