I can only speak to Texas Law, but they said that you do have to request a hold on your file -- else your retake will not necessarily be considered.

does anyone have thoughts on applying and updating LSAT score after a retake vs. waiting to apply?
i have the rest of my application set and am shooting to go somewhere like NYU or UVA at a significant discount if possible though i'm not adverse to paying full boat there or at somewhere like harvard or yale were the gods to grace me with an acceptance at one of those. i was consistently 177-180 on my last several PTs but think I may have done worse on this one and am thinking I'll retake anything below a 173. do you think applying now and updating an lsat score were i to do better on the december administration is a better plan than waiting to apply altogether?
hopefully it doesn't come down to that anyway but you never know

Re: Dive-bombing for Judges, September 2017 Waiter's Thread
Haha I feel like your exactly at the spot i am in. I crushed the test and just made a stupid fakin mistake bubbling after passage 1, fixed it, but it ate some time so I approached the last 2 in warp speed and think i pulled it off but you just never know. If I have to retake I think I am going to just hold my apps till the day dec scores released because I dont want to risk getting preemptively denied. Not worth it. I think you have a better shot in dec with a higher score than gambling on a wait list which is a pain in the ass to begin with.ilpsm wrote:Yeah, the more I think about it the sillier it seems to apply while planning on retaking. I'm not really a gambling man and I think it would probably stress me out even more to apply places and not hear back for so long. I think there's just too much time between September and December score releases.Rupert Pupkin wrote:I was debating this as well. In pretty much the exact same boat.

Hopefully won't have to deal with this though, all comes down to how I handled going through Judges and the final passage at warp speed - don't really think I got more than 1-2 wrong on the rest of the test.

Re: Dive-bombing for Judges, September 2017 Waiter's Thread
Thanks for this. This was my take on the matter as well. Seems like waiting till score in DEC (if retake is imminent) is the best approach.sev wrote:I can only speak to Texas Law, but they said that you do have to request a hold on your file -- else your retake will not necessarily be considered.
