Would using letters of recommendation written the year before your application be problematic?
I'm considering applying next year but my teachers are already on their way sending the letters of recommendation to LSAC. So... would law schools dislike letters written the year before?
Did you read enough materials that talk about how to write a good PS? I also suggest showing it to a counselor/advisor and let them point out the areas that need improvements, if there is any. How are your letters of recommendations? Are they professors who know you well and like you? These little details can make or break your application though. And what's the ranking of your undergrad school? What major did you study? Are your courses challenging that touch on political science, philosophy or religion? All these things are going to scrutinized by the admin. Your LSAT score is good enough for a lot of the top 14 schools when it comes to their 25th percentile scores. If I were you, I will re-examine all the little stuff and let teachers look at them to make sure they are truly strong. I personally think it's a gamble to apply to top 14 with 163 but you never know what the law schools are looking for
