LSAT for the forth time

Any idea how to ask schools to send to a letter to LSAC on your behalf for taking LSAT for the forth time in a two year period?

By that standard, I took it 4 times as well; no letter though. I got into plenty of schools anyway. What is this letter business?Peter North wrote:Actually, this is quite common.
You see, every time someone cancels a score that is counted as a "taken test". Ditto for missing a test sitting. I know someone who had didn't get a score on two occasions (cancelled one test, and was absent during other because of a family emergency at the last minute).
She had to go through this bullshit of asking a school to write a letter, even though she had no "actual score" on her file.
LSAC really needs to address this issue. What a waste of time and effort!
P.S. If you just have a "bad score" and want to retake... then I guess you'll need a good explanation.

Just be sure you don't ask to take it a forth time.lawchampion wrote:Any idea how to ask schools to send to a letter to LSAC on your behalf for taking LSAT for the forth time in a two year period?
