You can submit your applications before you have a reportable LSAT, however LSAC will not send your CAS report until they have a score on file. So, your application will be submitted but it will be marked incomplete until your LSAT score is set. It may save you some time in the sense that once your scores are available they will be automatically sent to the schools you already submitted to, however most ad coms will not touch your application until it is complete.

Email them to be sure; schools have different polices on this. Most will hold but some will not.

Thank you all for your advice. Every word is appreciated. I won't be delaying a cycle however, my school list is wide with 13 schools including Emory, GA State, UGA, NYU, Columbia, HLS, Stanford, GULC, Penn, Mich, UVA, Berk, and Howard. I am undecided specifically on what I want to do however it is leaning towards business (in house).

I was thinking of doing a hybrid of your comments by asking lower ranking schools to review my app with this score and retake Jan for higher rank schools. Any thoughts about this?

Ok Great. Thank you all.

If there's any mistake on the app outside of a pending LSAT score, then you should try to reach out to them to get it addressed. Otherwise, you should be fine. Some people submit their apps while they wait for their score

So, they will send my LSAT scores to the school still?

Thanks everyone! I think I have decided to delay. @kingse414 I am definitely not comfortable scoring a 155 ? So ..... delay has it is

I would love to say" this would never happen in law school admission process."

The truth is that it can happen though I cannot assess how likely it is. Though, it is known that law schools will use every tool available to them including social media to make a decision about an applicant. My advice "don't think twice" and make all social media accounts private, private, private.

Thanks @leahbeuk911 ! That was beyond perfect

Hello, I guess what's keeping me back from delaying (or a future retake) is I don't know what I will do differently. I feel like I've tried everything (tutoring, in person course, 7sage) and I'm still not where I want the be. Does anybody have advice on what they did differently for a retake or delay that helped?

This is a God-sent.

Mmm, take this advice with caution. There are MANY things to take into consideration when picking your law school.

Things like;

Loans/Grants

Employment Statistics

Bar Passage

Job placement

For instance Hofstra has a 41% employment rate after graduation whereas Harvard has a 91% employment rate.

I think both "T-14 or bust" and "follow the money" are over simplifying things. I think the best advice is to carefully compare, and weigh, all of your options.

I also caution people to not rely on anecdotal evidence. You can succeed from a low rank school and fail at a top ranked school. Statistically it is more likely to come out the other way though.

I guess the crux of what I'm saying is; make informed, educated decisions, based on the totality of your individual situation. Don't just think rank/money should decide the school for you.

Hello, I'm going to quote this because this accurately sums up my opinion and my advice to anyone who is deciding between schools whatever their ranking is.

Brooklyn

That's a difficult decision. If you want to practice in NY, then I am leaning Brooklyn. However, from my knowledge Emory does place graduates in NY (Atlanta native). However, I do not know if its a large enough amount to base anything on or how much class rank matters in this decision. Though, it is definitely not unheard of for an Emory law grad. Brooklyn offers you ties and network in the actual area you want to practice, however Emory has prestige which is arguably more regional centered in the south. I would say talk to the actual students at Emory and see if you can find anyone who knows someone gunning for NY or is gunning for NY. Also, you can see if you can get in contact with Emory's career service office to see their placement/recruitment efforts in NY.

Hello! This may help!

HMMMM... I don't remember seeing the link. However, the closest thing I could think of is this channel.

Strong BLSA Community (Black law student association)
