I took the LSAT in September for the first time and am beyond disappointed in my score. I find reading the forums about wild score increases to be motivating, but then I realize so many people have been studying for a year or more. Frankly, I do not have the money or time to do that. I managed to study from March-June very sporadically since spring semester was in full spring and I work full time. I was able to study regularly from June-August but that was still difficult with my work schedule and classes starting again. I am now amping my studying back up to prepare for the November LSAT, but I feel incredibly doubtful that more score will increase significantly if at all. I am meeting with my mentor to create a new study plan but would like input on here, as well. If I don't do well in November, what should my next step be? I wanted to apply to schools by October 30th but now my timeline is muddled and I'm not sure what to do. Thanks in advance; I appreciate any constructive feedback.
Congrats on your 155! While I'm also applying this cycle, I have some input as someone in a similar situation who has been seeking advice from admissions professionals (score and high GPA). I would seriously not be discouraged by your November score-- frankly you are probably burned out seems how you've taken the test three times. A 155 is not a bad score, especially since you are not considering T-14 schools and your GPA is competitive. If you have the time, I think an LSAT addendum would allow you to explain the decrease in your score which schools may appreciate. I personally don't think it's necessary that you take a gap year; you've set yourself up well. I know several current 2Ls and 3Ls that are attending T50 schools with a lower score and GPA than you are. Obviously everyone's situation is different but I think that's a good indicator. In regard to score cancellation, two of my advisors explained to me while score cancellations don't count against you, because schools are able to see that you cancelled the score, they may be concerned that you chose to cancel the scores twice. If I were in your position, I would not cancel the score just for that reason. Good luck!
