I took the LSAT last Dec 2009 and Feb 2009 and I applied to my schools. I was waitlist to a few and still have not heard from them. I eas accepted to one school but I do not want to go there. So i recently decided to retake the LSAT and get a tutor. It is now Jul and I'm wondering if I had time to study for the Oct test or if it would be best to wait for the Dec test?

OP, please post LSAT scores, or range, and other personal stats: UGPA, softs, etc.

Also, what range of schools? Where were you accepted? What score do you want to get on the LSAT?

3.85 gpa/150 lsat
I was wait listed to George Mason and Maryland and accepted to University of Baltimore.
I'm hoping to alteast break into the 160's

I would shoot at DEC. A ten point jump is definitely possible, but unless you have a lot of free time now til OCT it may be too much work. Although, if you have to deal with finals in DEC, then I could see that being a problem as well.

LSP seems to suggest that a 158+ plus puts you in play for GM and Maryland, but a 161 makes a big difference. I would really consider putting extra time into LSAT prep if I could.

Are you applying this cycle? Do you have any other schools you are targeting?

Thanks!
If i take the Dec LSAT I plan on apply in Oct/Nov and sent my scores when they come. I do not have any finals. I'm out of school and planned on starting law school in aug but it didnt work out that way. I live in the DMV and would like to stay local so i would like to apply to

George Washington
Maryland
Mason
American
Catholic
I would love to go to Geogetown but it depends on if my score increases enough.

Put the work in prepwise and I think you have a shot at GT. You are lucky/smart to have a solid UGPA, even if LSAC knocks it down a bit, don't let the LSAT handicap you.

Good luck

I also am in a similar situation. I took it last December but would like to increase my score about 10pts.

I do think that December test would give me more time to prep but would it hurt my chance applying instead of taking the October test to apply early?

THANKS
