Will it hurt my chances of getting into a law school if I have an old writing sample on file?

icglavin · September 2024

I have a completed writing sample on file from the June 2024 LSAT and am planning to take the October LSAT. I confirmed with LSAC that I do not have to complete the Argumentative Writing sample since I have a writing sample on file already, but I'm wondering if this will hurt me in any way during the application cycle? Is it better to complete the Argumentative Writing sample since I am taking the new version of the LSAT or does it not really matter?

No. It doesn't matter and is recommended not to retake if you have an old sample on file you are happy with.

Howdy, Stranger!
