Hey, I made the mistake of taking it before I was ready last year. I REALLY recommend signing up for the November LSAT!!!!! What I wish I did was study as much as I could for the October LSAT, take a couple days of rest, then go back to studying for the November LSAT. This way you have 2 chances to get a higher score and the first time you take it isn't nearly as stressful as you anticipate it being now.

Hey, I'm applying again this cycle due to some complications and I had a similar issue like this. If you can find one professor who you had any engagement with, even if it wasn't school related, I'd reach out to them since they would likely be willing to put the most effort in for you. I would also suggest getting a letter from someone who can judge your professional experiences, showing the admissions teams how you act in a professional setting.
