So the last 10 days of my life has been a nightmare. My mom was diagnosed with cancer and I spent the last 6 days in the hospital 24/7. My parents don’t speak English so they rely on me for all communications.
I was planning on taking the LSAT on October. But each day, there’s a new task I need to take care of/ besides getting less than 4 hrs of sleep per night.
I’m super drained but at the same time stressed because I graduated June 2018 and am planning to apply this year. I feel like if I postpone for another year, life will happen and I’m fearful of losing motivation/ not getting there.
My score isn’t one I’m proud of. The latest exam I had around a 158. But with everything going on in my life right now, I have been unable to concentrate or focus. I doubt I could push for a higher one til October.
So, my question is: do you guys think I should apply and hope for the best? Hope that an LSAT score addendum would allow for me to explain my current situation or is it best to delay another year?
I pretty much have everything else such as PS, DS, why statements, transcript, resume ready.
As a side note, I had a full time job during the past year + a part-time job + taking care of my parents here and there.
4 months ago I quit my full time to have more time to study and that’s when I was actually able to improve.
What are the drawbacks/ benefits of each scenario?
Anything you guys think or have experienced with would be greatly appreciated!
I'm in!
