Hi! I was told to apply by Halloween to get your app in on time, but I think I can do comparatively better on the LSAT in Nov vs October.
Is November still considered an early time to apply? Wondering if it’s worth it to rush the LSAT process a bit for an earlier application.

I have a related concern - if November LSAT score release is in December, how does that impact the overall application process? Are we even allowed to apply to schools while the score is still pending?
@aikol.iva You can apply if you have another LSAT already documented and then submit updated numbers if you are still waiting to hear from schools at that point. (I think) (No one yell if I'm wrong)
I think it's totally fine to apply when you receive a Nov score. I think it's better to have a stronger score than a little later. take this with a grain of salt, though - I am not an admissions counselor
I registered for October, but I think I might register for November too, just in case. I may end up not taking the November test, which means I’ll lose the $200+, but I’d rather lose the money than regret not registering for November if I don’t get the score I want in October. Since there’s no December LSAT, I think taking the risk makes sense.
also wondering this!
I'm in the same boat. I've spoken to a few admissions counselors directly and while pre-Halloween is great, if you think that extra month will have a significant impact on you LSAT score. Do it. You definitely want the best overall application. Especially if you're applying to more competitive schools.
