Is it bad to apply to the same school 3 times?

Post by mickey_mouse » Wed Oct 22, 2014 8:22 pm

Yea so the question is in the title. If I got waitlisted at a few schools last year, retook the LSAT and got a big boy job, is there any harm in trying my luck at these schools again this year and then if I don't get in this time around re-taking one more time and trying next cycle as well?

Thanks guys!

what does bad mean in the context? not getting into the school?
what other choice do you have?

u could also just wait and apply when you have a score thats not making you preemptively decide what to do next cycle

Maybe if you got accepted and applied again with an identical resume/score it could be bad.

If you applied earlier, didn't get in, and made yourself a more attractive applicant? It'll help for sure.
