International applicant questions/chances

Post by jj111 » Mon Oct 20, 2014 11:08 pm

British.
First Class double degree, University of Oxford. (+ 4 University Prizes. Multiple strong softs. Very good LORs.)
Fluent in Arabic. On the ground during Egyptian Coup. Currently working on Syrian civil war, including work in region.

LSAT: 168 - lower than average (±173).

Not that keen to retake as can't spare time from work. Only interested in T14, especially interested in HYSCCN - Human rights/international law oriented.

Any thoughts on retaking? Questions: will applying even later harm application. Will the lower LSAT completely disqualify me anywhere as it is? Would a retake be viewed poorly at HYS? And of course, what are my chances?

Appreciated!

You will need to retake for any shot at HYSCCN. The only schools that might care about retakes are YS and the jury is still out on how much it actually matters.
