Applying late December or early January?

Hey everyone!

I will be taking the December LSAT. I'm guessing we will have the scores back by Christmas. Does applying late December (26-30) make a difference compared to early January?

I also had another question. I don't think I will be getting a high score on the LSAT. But the rest of my application is really strong. I will be aiming to the LSAT's 25th percentile in most T14. I've heard that the 25th percentile gets filled up really quick. Does that mean that by January those spots are almost all taken?

Any advise is appreciated!

I am pretty certain that you won't get your score back until January 4th

Really? That sucks. I thought it was around 3 weeks.

Yeah I think when you log in to LSAC it says January 4th for December scores.

It use to be that December exam scores were released well before the expected release date. That trend has diminished.

Yeah, you definitely should bank on getting your score before January 3 or 4. Pre-Christmas would be shocking.

As far as applying, i don't think there is much difference between dec 26 and Jan 11
