For those who reapplied on two or more cycles, what are the most important things to consider when reapplying ?
changing PS ? new LOR? timeline for resubmitting the applications ? etc.

I focused on these and a higher LSAT score.

Admissions committees consider an applicant's personal statement, supplemental application, GPA, LSAT scores, and letters of recommendation. If a student is reapplying it is in their best interest to make their new application more competitive. This may include increasing their GPA by taking additional classes at a local community college or university or retake the LSAT to improve scores. It is also suggested to look into new letters of recommendation if it has been quite a few years since you last applied and there is an employer or professor you believe will write you a better letter.
Overall, just be sure to increase scores if the score you received in not competitive for a particular school and either revise your personal statement or write about a different topic.
