do LORs expire?

Post by dooritos23 » Tue Dec 15, 2015 3:06 pm

Took the December administration of the LSAT a week and a half ago. My plan is to have everything ready to submit on the day I receive my score, unless I do poorly, in which I case I will likely retake and wait to apply next year.

I have four professors writing letters for me, but if I wait to apply until next year, will I be able to re-use these letters? Or will I have to get a fresh batch?

Thanks all and happy holidays!

They will not expire if you wait until the fall :D.

If you would like to wait to apply, your letters will still be appropriate to use. If, however, things do not work as planned and you would like to submit a new application next year, aside from increasing your GPA, LSAT score, and having a stronger application, updating letters of recommendation may be a factor to consider. As for now, they should be fine for next fall.
