@RasheedWallaceFan: Hi. Yes, I waited for April LSAT, put almost all apps (which were sent really early) so that basically most of my apps were reviewed In May. Shot myself in the foot for 155 -> 161 lmao. Would not recommend 10/10
12:57
@RasheedWallaceFan: unironically, KSLS was my top choice, however by April LSAT their app had closed. It was like waiting to date ur dream partner, but waiting until you graduate uni, then by the time u graduate uni, your soul mate is already married with 2.4 kids and 1.6 dogs. Heartbreak.exe fr fr

No, I think what I will do is flip a coin: heds NKU, tails NEL|B what u guys think bout dat. Then once 1L - if good at LS, try to transfer, if bad at LS or one of my grandiose ideas/inventions are viable, drop out and pursue.
oh so you submitted the apps with a lower lsat and then retook
got it

Most schools will hold your application for the next test score to be released into your account as well. I was notified by an admissions director that if a decision is processed they will not retroactively go back for the new score even if higher

@Bettercaulsaul: in my experience, there is often an option on the application for you to choose whether you'd like them to review your application as-is ASAP or hold it until your new score is released. but it probably varies by school—I just remember seeing that option on at least a few app forms
2:21
While I am unsure of what option you are referring to, I personally just emailed each school and asked for them to hold my app pending my lsat score release.

shooooot
hey y'all so im gonna be honest im completely new to all this, i kinda bullshitted and took the LSAT and i have no clue what my odds are of getting into schools. 163 LSAT, 3.17 GPA, and a double major in undergrad i may write about in an addendum
Based on the list I see you made on your profile, you will need to make significant LSAT improvement for those schools to be contenders. Your primary focus should probably be working to get your LSAT practice tests up to a number you are happy with before you retest, and then test until you get a score you like. Don't rush an application cycle or apply late since those will hurt your odds of getting into your school as a splitter. Good luck!
oh that was literally just random stuff i dont know how this works
thank you so much!
im retaking in 4 days, and maybe again in august, and i was gonna apply to see what i got, and if i didnt like it i was going to wait till next cycle and work on improving my GPA
