Hi TLS denizens!
I'm wondering - if I commit to a school this May, defer for a year, then retake the LSAT in June or October 2013, will I have leverage for more scholarship money? Can withdraw (or threaten to do so) from the school due to financial concerns come November 2013? Thanks for all your help!

Withdrawing from a commited deferal and attending another school is viewed as an ethical misstep, just a heads up.

Yeah, I hear that's a pretty big no-no.

If you are not happy with the scholarship WD and reapply next year.
