Advice for exemption from LSAT 2year rule

Post by FutureLawyer13 » Fri Mar 31, 2017 3:18 pm

Hey everyone,

Does anyone have any advice for requesting to take the LSAT for a 4th time within 2years? I was dealing with extreme personal experiences and was hoping I could take it again and only have to take off one year rather than two for applying to schools.

It's a case-by-case thing. You'll need to write a very convincing statement detailing the extenuating circumstance(s). You'll also need to write an addendum for applications to schools, because they'll also likely be interested in the details behind your 4th take. My only advice is to be sure that whatever it is that made you under-perform on your first 3 tries is well behind you.
