Reapplying next cycle

Post by pirate101 » Thu Feb 11, 2016 11:56 am

Hello,

I've decided to reapply next cycle and wanted to get some feedback. I am planning to start studying now and retake the LSAT in June. I work full time and wasn't able to devote as much time studying previously, so I didn't do as well as I know I can.

I got into most of the schools I applied to, but have decided to try to improve my score, gain another year of work experience, save money and reapply to hopefully get into the couple of schools I got waitlisted/denied at as well as more money from the ones I got in at.

Do you think I should write letters to the ones I got into? I'm planning on it, just wondered if anyone had experience or has come across articles regarding what to write.

Thanks and good luck to everyone still waiting to hear from schools!

Yeah, if you know that you're going to withdraw your application and reapply next year, it's fine to write to the school and let them know that. That opens up a spot for another potential student from the waitlist, too.

Typically, a student may write a letter explaining the reason for reapplying next year or deferring acceptance. You should contact one of the schools you were admitted to and ask what the protocol is for this situation as they may have students complete an online form or require an email regarding reapplication.
Best of luck!
