Before Thanksgiving is early. Before Christmas is ok. Afterwards, it gets progressively later

Overall your chances aren't going to be significantly worse in November vs September; both are early. You won't be at a position where you're at a disadvantage until roughly January. Even still, if your stats are up to par at a certain school you'll still be alright after January

Yeah, this. The earlier the better, but if applying in November means applying with an LSAT score that's 2 points higher, do that.KMart wrote:floatie wrote:Overall your chances aren't going to be significantly worse in November vs September; both are early.

I'm going to record a 10-15 minute podcast on this very topic, which some quotes from a dean of admissions at a top 10 school, and with Danielle Early our newest Associate Partner formally of Harvard Law. We will do it this week!

Should I read that as "formerly"? I assume nobody simultaneously works for a consulting group and an admissions office.

Ha! Yes I was outside in the sun on my laptop and still sensed something felt odd, but should have scrutinized! Formerly!lsatrecycles wrote:Should I read that as "formerly"?

This will be on our blog by Friday, http://blog.spiveyconsulting.com ! Also, suffice to say, we are still hyper early. And everything for the Sept test-takers who submit in Oct. is early.

Spivey, I thought it was interesting how you mentioned candidates were separated by various qualities before the initial reading of their application. I'm curious as to how exactly this works for URM candidates, and if there is any difference in timelines for individuals in this category, or perhaps it is more or less the same?
