gpa and re-apply question
Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2016 1:33 am
Hey guys,
I'm a junior, graduating June 2017. I'm trying to figure out some math here in regards to a gap year and could use your help. If I don't take a gap year and take my LSAT this October, it's my understanding LSAC will take my grades through this coming Fall (up to end of junior year), correct? That would put me at a 3.4 or so. However, my senior year, starting next Fall through June 2017 is all elective, easy ass classes. So I could bring my gpa up to 3.7. But that would require a gap year which it turns out I can not afford to do.
My question is, let's say I don't take a gap year and turn in my 3.4 but don't get the schools I want. Can I then reapply again the following year? Will LSAC recalculate my grades at that point adding in my senior grades? Or is the 3.4 firm? I hope this makes sense. Basically, I want to go for it this Fall, but want to be able to try again next year with a higher gpa if I don't get what I want on the first run.
I will take the LSAT this October and December if not happy with October. I'll reserve the third tray for the following year if I'm not happy with my offers.
Thoughts?
