3 retakes applying to Cornell
Posted: Sat Oct 24, 2020 10:15 pm
Hello,
I took the LSAT 3 times. 162 ---> 166 ---> 168. My GPA is 3.85. I am applying to Cornell, but it says on the website, in regards to multiple LSAT retakes:
"In general, Cornell Law’s policy is to take the higher score if it is at least 3 points higher than a prior score, but the Admissions Committee invites applicants to submit an addendum to their application explaining the different LSAT scores and why we should take the higher score."
I was under the impression that all law schools, with the exception of Yale and Stanford, take an applicant's highest score, even if it's only by one point. Should I write an addendum? I'm not sure what I would say, besides the fact that I was less nervous and better prepared each retake. Am I still competitive for the t20 - t13 considering all of my retakes?
