Application deadlines coming up; too late to retake LSAT? Forum

[jmh3070]

I got a score only slightly above average (154), and have deadlines coming up for a couple applications. Is it possible to submit the application, but still retake the June LSAT and have that considered?

If its an option retake and apply next cycle. I don't think they will wait until June scores. Even if they did, do you think you can improve significantly by then? If not then don't even schedule your retake until you're PTing around where you want to be.

I really don't think adcoms would wait until July for your June LSAT score. They want to make all initial decisions within the next month or so and then rely solely on waitlist after that. It's even a little late to submit your app with your 154. If you really think you can do better than a 154 on the June LSAT, it would be best to retake in June and/or October and then submit your app early in the fall for the next cycle. Even if you get into schools by submitting this late, you probably wouldn't get much scholarship $$ and you're already at a disadvantage since it's pretty late in the cycle.
