June LSAT too Late for Fall Admission? Forum

[NonTrat]

Honestly, I don't know what I saw where I saw the Feb. LSAT was extended to 01/12/2016, since it is closed today.

Yet, is is the general consensus that the June LSAT is too late for Fall Admission into Law School?

Or have some people gotten into Law School in the following Fall with their June score?

I would suggested saving that score for an early submission to some schools, you'll most likely have better financial aid options and better chances at admission imo. I know most schools I've contacted will only take the Feb LSAT at the latest.

After receiving my score for last year's June exam, I received emails from UCLA and Washington University (I think) inviting me to email them about starting immediately in the 2015-2016 school year. I think at least a few other good schools would have been receptive to that arrangement.

You would be depriving yourself of the whole range of possibilities and losing a ton of leverage with respect to financial aid and scholarships. However, it does seem doable.

I thought I saw that too. And I missed the deadline by 1 hour (central vs eastern time)

Even if you could get in, you'd be looking at paying sticker. Schools will have given out all their scholarship money by that point, and you'll have no leverage to bargain. Not sure what your life situation is, but as far as admissions and scholarships go it would make more sense to put it off for a year and apply next cycle.
