Reapplying This Cycle

Post by churrochi » Sat Aug 30, 2014 9:04 am

Hey all,

I'm reapplying for the Fall 2015 cycle to some schools; what is the typical protocol for someone in my case? Do I need new recommendation letters or an updated transcript? Do adcomms care about when LOR were written/will it hurt my case if I'm applying in 2014, but all my evaluations/letters are from 2013?

(I'm updating my resume, personal statement, and retaking the LSAT; just wasn't sure if I was supposed to revamp everything else as well. Thanks!)

You don't need new LOR's, but I would recommend updating your transcript.

I was super lazy and just updated my resume and changed a little bit in my personal statement to talk about what was new. LORs and such are still good. Update your transcript of you graduated.

most of it's been said, but if you applied to Penn, you need at least 1 new LOR
