If I apply and get accepted to a school, but decide prior to the first semester that I want to wait another year before attending, is there an option to defer? In the event that I decline and reapply to the same school the following year, is it possible the admissions board would hold that against me and I would not get in the second time? I would imagine each school has a different policy about this, though is there a general trend?
@ If you are not at or getting close to your thirties or you are an immigrant and uncle Sam is pressuring you to start school this fall, I can't see a good reason why you would forgo maximizing your score to attend school a year earlier so I urge you to re-evaluate.
I'm 30 years old and I just took the LSAT in December with no prep at all and scored a 159. You better believe I'm going to wait to apply for another year and study hard to reach my potential. What's the rush? Time is an illusion.
I graduated college 9 years ago, and all the professors I was close to died or left academia a long time ago. I've only worked freelance jobs in music since graduating so I have no real employers. What should I to do about LoRs?
does anyone know when scores are coming out?
That thread is very informative, thanks! I'm not sure anyone answered whether or not declining to attend a school would hurt my chances of getting in again the following year.
