Applying twice hurting chances? Forum

[mmarsall54]

I am applying this cycle at some decent schools and have a chance but would like to make it to GULC or GW. GPA is a solid 3.65 but my first LSAT was 155 with really strong softs. Waiting to see on October score to see if I improved marginally or not. If I did apply would it hurt my chances for one of those schools if I apply and get denied this cycle then attempt to take the LSAT later on down the road? I just enlisted in the Texas National Guard and will be moving to an area, after I graduate in Dec, that will bring me closer to better LSAT prep programs. So the idea of waiting a year or two to take the apply sounds nice but I want to know if I do apply this time and not make it would it hurt? Also would I lose all of my fee waivers and LOR then?


Thanks

It won't hurt your chance even a bit, and might help if you have work experience. You won't lose your LoRs. Regarding fee waivers, they are only valid for this cycle, but they will send you new waivers when the next cycle comes close, and you can go ask for them if you want.

I would think not. If anything, I think it would show commitment to the school(s) you're applying to. Plus, as someone already mentioned, work experience can help a lot.

Keep working on that LSAT score! It can and will come up!
