I decided to put in my two weeks with my very interesting government/political job. Because it is so unique, I am leaning heavily into sharing this experience in my applications, and I wrote about it in my personal statement. My work has been really critical to me realizing I want to go to law school but I have anxiety about being safe while continuing in the role through the next year (hopefully not) of the pandemic.

I'm finishing up applications to my safety schools using my current LSAT and will submit applications to my reach schools after I take the January test. How do I tell schools that I am leaving this really special job without it negatively impacting my applications?

I was applying late (March 2019) last cycle and also got a huge promotion at work. Given my application was so late and the job was a great opportunity, I only applied to one reach school and didn’t get in. I’m applying now for my safe, reach, and dream schools and still have the two letters of recommendation I used in the past cycle. They are dated March 2019. Should I ask for new LOR or can I use the same LOR already on my LSAC file for my new applications?
