December LSAT and applying

Matthew524

I just have a quick question about the December LSAT. I was wondering if I take the December LSAT can I still apply for the Fall 2017 cycle or would it be to late?

You can still apply for the fall 2017 cycle.

Definitely not too late, December is the more popular date for the LSAT. In fact many schools accept the February LSAT for admissions of the same year because of how low applications are.

@montaha.rizeq I scored a 158 on the June LSAT and I am planning on taking the September LSAT and aiming for above a 160. I was hoping if that doesn't happen I can take in December. Thank you

Yep, you will be ok. If you dont feel your ready for Sept, push back to December to give yourself the extra time if needed.

I advise against taking the LSAT in September until you feel confident in your performance and your PTs are there to prove it. Don't take the LSAT because you want to get your applications in and over with, a better LSAT score outweighs an earlier application always.

I'm pretty sure every school accepts December scores (if anyone knows otherwise, please correct me). You should be fine. As @montaha.rizeq stated, don't register for September unless you are currently ready to take the test in September.
