Admission Timing

If most apps are due by Feb and March, could one turn in their application with an LSAT score on file, but still try to take the LSAT again after submitting apps? I wanted to do it to negotiate scholarships with a potential higher score, but was scared that the application wont be viewed and would be missing the deadline if I signed up to take it after submitting apps.

    At the end of the day, a significantly higher score opens doors. So while it’s not ideal, many schools will def give you reconsideration.
    But last cycle was so unpredictable…

    If you're signed up for an LSAT then yea your application is marked as incomplete and not reviewed, you can try asking them to review your app with the current lsat score, though theres the chance they only review it once at that point and decline to reconsider admission after your next score

    Speaking as a former admissions officer, you should find out what the school's policy is regarding future test scores before deciding how to proceed. The policies of the schools on your school list may not be consistent. It is not uncommon for candidates to retake the LSAT after submitting applications with the hopes of getting off of waitlists or asking for scholarship evaluation/reevaluation. Good luck!
