Should I apply ASAP for wait for...

Hi TLS,

I'm nearly ready to apply for schools this cycle. However, I'm considering waiting until I have the results of a foreign language test (not English btw).

I've been living abroad for a few years now, but I still have no objective marker of my language skills. So I was thinking maybe law schools would appreciate that objective marker. This test is the second highest test that the country offers, so passing it means I'm pretty close to fluency.

I'm not sure what would be more advantageous, either applying early to get the leg up on other applicants, or waiting until mid November for my test results, which I can then add onto my resume.

My current plan is to apply early for my safety schools, and wait to apply for my 50/50 and reach schools.

What does everybody else think?

Are your numbers still 170 LSAT & 3.58 GPA?

LSAT and GPA are all that matter.

Adding one line to your resume won't make much of a difference unless its something preftigeous. In this case its not. Just state you're "conversational in XYZ"
