I am thinking of taking my LSAT this year, but may not apply for law school until 2011 or 2012. I work full time, but have some time in the next couple of months to study for it.
I have heard the scores are good for 5 years, right? The admissions people will not look on this unfavorably, will they?
I am in the process of gaining some more experience at my job, am taking some finance exams, and have a few other things going on. I'm doing this to build up a high amount of human capital and knowledge for myself to tie into a niche business I plan on starting a couple of years after law school.
But generally, do they care (ie do admissions look at it unfaorably) about when you take the LSAT even if the score is still valid?

i took the lsat in 2006 and applied this cycle. it didn't really work to my disadvantage, except keep in mind that LSAT medians go up every year, so what would have been auto-admit this cycle may very well be waitlist or reject in 2 years.

The LSAT is kind of like a tetanus shot. Although they say you should get one every 10 years, in reality it's no good after 5.philip.platt wrote:I am thinking of taking my LSAT this year, but may not apply for law school until 2011 or 2012.

Although your LSAT score is kept on file with LSAC for 5 years, schools won't take it unless it's from within 3 years.
I think that's universal, but I may be wrong.

I took my LSAT in 2004, applied this cycle and got into every school that wasn't a reach.

Re: LSAT Test Date : if there is a gap - is that bad?
I just proved this legal argument
. I have a burden of proof and I have references.
God = Love
because
Love = Heart
Heart = Love
Love = Devotion
Devotion = Time
Time = Money
Money = Value
Value = Life
Value does not equal Vegetables
Value does not equal Meat.
Value = Life
Value = Vegetables
Vegetables = Earth
Earth = Worldly things
Worldly things = You betta get a bible soon!!! damn!!
lol
Can I battle the NYU Dean? I don't think he can beat me at Law.
that would be hilarious! haha
God = Love
Love = God
Love = Love
God = God
Proven. Now it is not a law problem at all. It is a physics problem. If this was a law problem, why are you reading it - are you begging the question?
Disclosure: I am taking the LSAT on June 7 in Brooklyn, New York. On June 8th, I am flying to South Carolina.
