Law School Deferrence

edited October 2015 in General 136 karma
So I was admitted to a school in the US in Fall 2015 and I deferred it until Fall 2016. I just got my October LSAT score and it is 6 points higher than my June LSAT, which is usually the minimum threshold for having to explain the discrepancy in scores. Do you think the school I am already admitted to will request an addendum to my application explaining the 6 point jump? Just wondering if anyone else has ever gone through this. I am not worried about having to explain it as I already know I have a good reason for it. Thanks in advance.

    @odebs2797 What IS a good reason? I jumped 13 points. Is this a bad thing?

    Good reason is I was concussed in April while studying for the June LSAT and still have PCS to this day, but it is no where near as bad as it was in April-May and I now know how to manage it better than before. Also I had surgical procedures done on each of my feet in May which required me to take strong painkillers, making studying....difficult to say the least lol.

    @odebs2797 Well that sounds like a good reason for sure. Sorry you have endured such pain. Would you happen to know what a school might consider a not-so-good reason?

    Thanks, it could've been much worse so I am grateful it was not. And no, sorry, I do not have much insight on what makes a good supplemental statement (besides my own situation) and I don't want to lead you astray by pretending I do.
