Reporting both LSATs?

Post by natural_law » Sun Oct 30, 2016 8:54 am

Hi all,

I have two LSAT results.

Dec 2013 165
Feb 2014 178

Is there any advantage to dropping the 165 from my applications? My thinking is that I screwed up the games section under pressure in the first attempt, and it wasn't reflective of my average score performance (which at the time was 171). I don't want the admissions team thinking that 178 is the exception (my avg at the time was 174), rather than vice versa. Thoughts?

Thanks!

I seem to have a choice, at least on the Columbia app I'm currently working on.

What he meant was that lsac releases both regardless what you put on the app they're both on the score report. It also won't matter, but write an addendum if you're concerned. Also people score 178 on a fluke?? That's like 6 questions wrong.

Eta: just realized second poster was being sarcastic had confused it with op's
