Is taking the LSAT in January and submitting my application materials too late for the Fall 2024 class?

I have been out of college for some time and really do not want to put off law school any longer so any advice is greatly appreciated. I understand it would put me at a disadvantage compared to those applying before thanksgiving but do I still have a decent shot if I score in the high 160's? I have backups that are decent in the T50s and below but ideally I would like T30 and above.

    Depending on what schools you want, it will either be too late or not. If I were you I would make a list of schools you plan to apply to, then check the last LSAT they take and their application deadline.

    I think though that if you are above the schools average LSAT score and you apply a bit later, it won't hurt you. Especially considering (I am assuming) you likely have quite a bit of work experience since you have been out of college for awhile. Better to give yourself time to study and achieve a high score instead of rushing to write and getting a lower score. Good luck!
