I'm getting concerned about timing with my apps. I'll likely take the test in Dec and again in Feb.

I really dont know much about this process, yet. If I take a Feb test, is that too late to get an app together for a few schools in time for the Fall 2016 year start times? Or is that too late, and will instead set me up to apply for 2017 start times?

    Western

    That's a helpful list! Just note that it's not inclusive, so be sure to still check with your schools' websites if they aren't included there (and, to be honest, even if they are; you wouldn't want to risk anything lol).

    Hey Matt, I am considering the February exam as well and I have done a little personal research on the topic.

    There are a list of schools I found that are now accepting February LSATs due to lowered amounts of applications.

    These schools are:

    American University

    Arizona State University

    Boston University

    Brooklyn Law School

    College of William and Mary

    George Washington

    New England School of Law

    North Carolina Central University

    Ohio State University

    Pace University

    Rutgers University, Newark

    Santa Clara University

    St. Mary’s University

    Stetson University

    Suffolk University

    Temple University

    SUNY Buffalo

    University of Connecticut

    University of Hawaii

    University of Kansas

    University of Maryland

    University of Montana

    University of Pittsburgh

    University of Wisconsin, Madison

    University of Wyoming

    University of the District of Columbia

    University of the Pacific

    Vanderbilt University

    Villanova University

    Wayne State University

    Western New England College

    Whittier College

    Yale University

    Then the article goes onto say that many schools would prefer scores be taken prior to the Feb LSAT for Fall submission, but will accept them on a rolling basis.

    If you have a score on file, you can submit your app. Then they will just hold your app pending the February score. This at least gets your foot in the door if you have a December score that wouldn't get you rejected outright.

    @srcharls535.janson35 thank you, that was very helpful. I will approach research more individually than I had been.

    @mstone219362 thank you, but I'm in the US. I appreciate the offer, nonetheless.

    It really depends on which schools you are aiming for. At least some of the T14 does not accept the February LSAT for Fall admission, but I do believe it differs based on the school. This is something you could find on each school's website.

    As the schools fall in rank, I think the general trend is that they are more open to later applications, with some schools now even starting to accept the June test for admission into that Fall. This in these schools' best interest to make the app process as open and accommodating as possible so that more students will apply, whereas the upper-echelon schools already have a large number of applicants to select from.

    Just check with your schools and you should be good to go!

    Hey Mike, If you live in Canada I could advise you with the application process, but if you're in the US, I'm sure some of the guys here will assist you.
