1 and 2. Yeah you can do that, they will wait for your score. No harm in applying prior to taking and having a score pending.Cochran wrote:I'm left with much to consider:
1. Would it be advantageous for me to continue sending applications out, but informing the schools that I have a pending December score? (If anything, at least the applications are out of the way.)
2. Could a school take my current score, and use that; or do they automatically hold my application until everything is in.
3. How much does sending an application later with a December score hurt your admissions chances? Can an earlier application (before thanksgiving) make up for lower scores?
3. Out of curiosity, what are the chances of an AA male with 3.41 gpa & 160 lsat getting into a T-14 school?
3. I don't think sending an app in January will hurt much, especially considering URMs typically hear back later than other applicants. Score is much more important than applying early. As for the LSAT, you probably want to get to at least a 165 to get a nice scholarship at a T14, if you want H get a 170. good luck
