Applying After the Deadline
Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2011 5:58 pm
Hi,
I have a unique scenario that I wanted to get some opinions on. A friend of mine hasn't been able to find a job so yesterday he randomly decided that maybe he should go to law school. And as ridiculous and last minute as it sounds I began to wonder if he would actually have a shot at getting in somewhere. As of right now, the deadline for most schools was 3/15, however he would be applying to schools that have extended their deadline. (In this case, 4/15) With that said, I know he has a 3.3 GPA, yet he hasn't taken the LSAT exam.
I was under the impression that February was the final exam, however he claims that he called some schools and they told him they would wait for his June LSAT score. Is this even possible?
If it is possible, he would have to acquire two letters of recommendation, write a personal statement, and get all his applications done in 15 days right? In addition, he would only have two months to study for the LSAT if he began now. Is there some sort of ridiculously extended deadline I'm not aware of? I just don't understand how this is even possible, let alone realistic.
I'd really appreciate some input on this scenario.
