Hypothetical:

Let's say I apply to LS with the Dec lsat score and get in for this upcoming cycle. Can I still take the LSAT in June and Sept for a better score, decline admission, and reapply for the next cycle?

No extenuating circumstances...only because I received a better score (much better score).

Not sure what the rules are re this.

Anyone?

    @nye887085 Do 1L+ 1L +1L = JD? I like to bounce around

    I'm sure if you ended that charade at Summit you could at least still get them to pay you not to take the bar there.

    @974 attend 1L at a school, give up all your credits, drop out, and reapply as a 1L somewhere else.

    So it is an option! Thanks for the clarification!

    Yes you can do this if you're talking about two different schools. You could possibly pull it off at the same school but it would require a bit more finesse you might say. You could even go so far as to accept admission, attend 1L at a school, give up all your credits, drop out, and reapply as a 1L somewhere else.

    @mmaritzagarcia303 I was under the impression that once you're in the "admission phase" LSAC won't allow you to simultaneously be in the "application phase."

    I'm not sure what you mean by phases in this statement. I have already been admitted to a school, have gone complete at other schools, just submitted to some schools, and haven't applied to some other schools yet. Furthermore, LSAC has nothing to do with you accepting or declining admission.

    Also, you can always call LSAC directly and ask this question; it may be more comforting to hear the answer directly from them.

    I agree with this.

    Thanks @cverdugo698 and @as5324392! I was under the impression that once you're in the "admission phase" LSAC won't allow you to simultaneously be in the "application phase."

    I have a friend who is adamant that this is an option, I don't think it is, but not sure. :/

    @nicole @974 @jinadarcy0610262 ... do you guys know anything about this?

    Ditto to what @cverdugo698. You can always back out but you will lose money on the deposit you'll pay to the school you choose to accept.

    I'm intrigued by this question.

    From what I know, and feel free to correct me anyone, is that you once your accepted schools will start to throw seat deposit deadlines at you. For example you get in to a school they will say by April please send us a check for $500 (could range higher or lower), and then there will be a 2nd seat deposit in the mid-summer. So theoretically you can do what your saying but you might lose out on $1,000 because of deposit fees. But if a significantly higher score is possible I would say that $1,000 is nothing in the long run!
