When to apply and what affects waiting has.

I'm debating whether or not to switch my LSAT date to October from June in order to have the entire summer to properly prepare myself. Due to switching the date, I will of course have a later application.
My question(s) is/are simple. If I apply in November rather than September, will I be negativley affected. Also, how early/late is a November application considered.
So, in the end, is delaying my LSAT to properly prepare myself worth the later application completion date?

I love posting in your threads.
It's not a significant difference if the score will be higher.

Thanks Kalvano.
BTW, is that a compliment or a sarcastic slap in the face?

I agree. Later is fine if you're working to improve your score.
More importantly, you can also work on getting LoRs and working on your personal (and diversity/adversity if applicable) statements while studying.
Assuming you're still in college (and jobless/working pt), you'll have plenty of time over the summer

Switching to the September test will not hinder you significantly. Most law school applicants use the September lsat so if you can improve by even 2-3 points it is definitely worth it to study all summer and wait until September. Those applying using a December or later score are the first to really feel a significant disadvantage from applying later in the cycle.
