How late in the cycle is too late?

Is it considered okay to apply as soon as my Dec scores are in?

Then when do you think is the latest date that is safe?rnoodles22 wrote:Edit: Read that wrong. But still, in any event applying late Dec./early Jan. is not late or bad if you have the requisite numbers.
If you're waiting on your December LSAT, have all your other stuff done before that. Get your recommendations, personal statement, resume, and the tedious parts of the app all out of the way. Your apps should be done, apart from the LSAT, and well polished - especially given this much time.roranoa wrote:Then when do you think is the latest date that is safe?rnoodles22 wrote:Edit: Read that wrong.

I'd say the latest is probably late January, but that's really, really pushing it. The goal isn't to just get into a school, but to also get $$$$. I echo the above poster. Finish everything, upload it all, and get it ready to click submit the minute you get your Dec. LSAT. Don't try to find a "safe late date"!roranoa wrote:Then when do you think is the latest date that is safe?rnoodles22 wrote:Edit: Read that wrong.
