Hey Michael the deadline to request full refund for the October LSAT is today, and I'm considering doing that and registering for the November LSAT. I took the August one and ended up with 156. My goal score is 173. I recently did a PT and scored 169. That is the highest I've scored. October would be my 3rd (and last because I don't want to take more than 3 attempts). My GPA is 4.0 and I have work experience in law field as well. I am planning to apply to Ivys. I also need a scholarship. Should I do it? should I do November?
I've heard the timeline matters too. Is applying in November too late for scholarships? I am not planning to apply to any early decisions. I'm thinking it's better to apply with a better score than applying late October.
IDK I CANNOT DECIDE PLS HELP
Also in this case, October withdrawal will not be considered as another attempt correct?

@coffeecake would u mind tagging him here? sorry I don't know how to search people up
Hi I am looking for someone who is experienced to review my personal statement, application essays etc. for law school. I am applying this cycle. Appreciate if the rates are affordable.
if your LSAT score is good and other parts of the application are strong, you have a good chance. It's not just the GPA they consider
@Isabella! let's say I do 1 RC section today, I do like a drill of 15 LR questions with that. The next day I do 1 LR section and drill 2 RC passages. That way I don't over work. I review each question I get wrong thoroughly. I always ALWAYS take a full PT on weekends. Get used to taking PTs. You think you are performing well by only considering your drill/section scores, but when you do PTs you end up getting low scores just because your brain is not used to it.
@GiovanniAlvarezLaw 7Sage has been very helpful for me, especially because the explanations are clear and never make you feel stupid for getting something wrong. I also really appreciate the recorded classes. I work full-time, so I’m not always able to attend live classes during work hours, and being able to watch the recordings at a time that works for me has been a great feature.
I can’t compare it to other platforms because 7Sage is the only one I’ve used, but I can say that I’ve seen real improvement. My cold diagnostic score was around the same as your score during June 2026, and I’ve improved significantly since then. I hope this helps!
You should be in that mindset otherwise you will submit your application too late. Have everything else (personal statement, transcript, letters of recs, essays) ready, so once you get the LSAT score, you are ready to submit. Letters of rec take time, because professors might take time to send it over. LSAC website takes time to process transcripts.
@Isabella! This is a hot take, but I actually stopped during Blind Review. Usually, when I BR, I’m stuck between two answer choices, and I end up choosing the other option without fully understanding the concept behind it, and that option often ends up being correct. The problem is that once I submit my BR answers, I don’t usually go back and review the questions I got right during BR. Because of that, I miss out on understanding WHY I got those questions right.
Instead, what I usually do is submit the test and then thoroughly review the explanations for every question I got wrong.
Taking my last attempt in October. My goal is 175. Still have a long way to go but Im so proud of how much I've improved<3
what I would suggest is, when you email the professor of your choice, attach your resume, transcript, an excellent paper you wrote in their class (any other doc that might be helpful for your professor to know what kind of a student you were). This should help. Be mindful about how you address the email as well. Explain your situation and tell what things you like about his class and why you chose him for a recommender.
question, when reset exams happen, does it count as another attempt? in your case will the reset be considered as a second attempt? would that affect the strength of the application when applying to law school? just curious
I'm curious how much admissions committees really care about the number of attempts the LSAT is taken. Or do schools mostly focus on the highest score?
Also, does anyone personally know (or is anyone) who got into a T14 after taking the LSAT three times? I'd love to hear real experiences.
One more question: if I take the October LSAT as the 3rd attempt and submit all my applications as soon as scores are released in late October, is that still considered "early" for admissions and scholarships?
Would really appreciate any insight from applicants, current students, or admissions professionals!
Happy about the progress I've made but I need to work harder. I am going to take another prep test tonight. Hopefully I will keep up with the consistency. Pray for me!! Any advice/ tips on how to improve LR and RC sections?
@MichaelWright Is there a person from the admissions team I can reach out to regarding this, to gain advice? sorry im low-income currently under a LSAC/7 sage fee waiver and cannot afford tutoring. Appreciate help in any way
