Pace vs. Hofstra

I am admitted to attend Pace Law this fall and received about half tuition scholarship. I am still on the waitlist at Hofstra and have a professor friend of mine (who did his LLM at Pace) tell me that if I get into Hofstra that I should go there, also the firm I work for has hired from Hofstra. I worked all through my undergrad and am still paying off my loans so it is very hard for me to imagine giving up free money. I know I will get an answer from Hofstra any day now and that I will have to decide rather quickly so I need to know my answer. The difference in tuition and without my scholarship would be $109,000 over 3 years ... a huge chunk of change. I am interested in criminal defense and want to get as much hands on experience as possible.

@kkole44474 Yes, my question is about the schools that I have not received a response from yet. I plan on letting the schools that I am on the waitlist for know that I am taking the April LSAT.

@kkole44474 Should I tell the schools that I haven't gotten an answer from yet that I am taking a future LSAT?

Waitlisted

I was waitlisted at a couple of schools and was told that re-taking the LSAT in April might help me get off the waitlist. I have a couple of worries about this. Won't holding my application till late April be detrimental to my chances? Also, I am not sure that 2 months of studying are enough to get my score up and if I get another low score won't that also be detrimental?

I was tempted by the same thing and took the June FLEX and ended up cancelling my score because I didn't give myself enough time to study. The perk is that you will be able to view your score this time around if you are a first time test taker and cancel. Also the FLEX does't count as a take per the LSAC website. It is ALL very tempting. But honestly, if your PT aren't where they need to be I think you should wait till October as 45 days can really sneak up on you and really isn't a whole lot of time for you to work on getting that score higher.
