Congratulations! As someone who has done it, taking the LSAT a second time without knowing for sure that you are going to increase your score is a waste of money. It also sounds like the score you have is good enough for the school you want to go to. I think you should use the time and money in other ways.

Use the money that you would spend to do one of three things:

1. to pay for your application fees

2. to pay your seat deposit when you get into your dream school (with your strong LSAT score and GPA)

3. Simply treat yourself since you have conquered the LSAT

Use that extra time you would spend studying to make sure your essays and letters are in great shape. Nobody gets into law school with numbers alone. Best of luck!! Way to go first gen

The comment above says this year, but the submission form just says your essay won’t be considered if you intend to apply to Michigan. So I think if someone intends to apply at all, even after this year, your statement won’t be considered for this :/

In the same boat as y’all @SherryLi and @AlysonHoffman !! I would love to have her read mine

With so much competition in the application process, what are some things students can do to set themselves apart from similar applicants?

What are some general guidelines on when to write or not write an addendum about my GPA and/or LSAT?

I feel as if so many people have narratives about their direct experiences within the legal system that they can write about in their personal statements. I am passionate about law, but I do not have direct experience. What advice do you have as I try to write a personal statement that conveys my passion for law from a indirect legal perspective?

Also in St. Louis! Would love to have an accountability partner(s)

Great lesson! Though I can't stand this question type arggggg
