A professor emailed me back about an LOR long after I asked her and I already have two LORs. Advice?

Sorry for the curt title, not enough room for politely asking for advice :P

Anyways

I emailed her a month ago, and she only responded now. Furthermore, she said she could only write one after January.

I already got two LORs from other professors so I don't exactly need it. That being said, I'd still like to have it just in case. How should I respond?

    Are you applying after January? If so, take her up on it and have a 3rd just in case.

    @"Alex Divine" I'm trying to submit my applications before Thanksgiving, with a personal deadline of November 10 for Cornell's early binding decision.

    However, my LSAT is one point below a lot of the lower T14 medians (166). So I'm also anticipating the possibility of needing to apply next cycle after getting some work experience and/or retaking the LSAT a third time.

    Hmm... Yeah, I don't see the harm in getting a 3rd letter and saving it for possible use in the future.

    Good luck!

    Keep person in loop. You might need a letter later, like if you're trying to get off a waiting list.
