Read the fine script comment because it depends on the school. Most of them allow you to do this but some stipulate that if you deposit with them they consider that to be binding.
Are you planning to apply for 2023?
If so, another main consideration is time. Scholarships at this point will depend on submitting application materials ASAP.
I agree.
Or, you could reference it but not make of it a main thrust: "My passion for numbers/science/whatever originally pulled me toward a major in X but over time I couldn't shake the feeling that my skills/interests/natural giftedness would be…
It's just an algorithm.
One weird thing I've noticed is that I got a bunch after my June LSAT and then it petered out...and in the last month or so it picked up again.
I heard it may be a slow cycle this year? Maybe that's the reason?
It depends on the school. Some are asking for as few as 500 words and for some 3 pages is appropriate. Be sure to check in the instructions on LSAC. According to David Busis' advice over in the Admissions Course materials, 600-800 words is usually …
I think the real story is, What's different now? What changed and how can you convince your adcom readers its a sincere and lasting change? Those details are more important than what happened in the past.
Interesting question. Hmm...
I think the soft application components are the place to convey this best, actually.. A kind of, "I feel like I am just getting started and I'm becoming a better student all the time" kind of message.
Maybe?
As I understand it, one of the main reasons the advice is to rewrite is because admissions committees want to see your drive and your tenacity. Also to see how you've grown in a year.
Especially if your rewrite is another good one, they will be exc…
I think you probably should. It's better than letting it sit there with no explanation. Admissions officers are likely to wonder why you didn't address it if you don't say anything at all.

Amazing story, a very big inspiration! It's very uncommon for people to score better on the actual test than their PTs, did you get anywhere in the 160s before?
Right!? I once scored a 161 on a practice, but that's it.

sharalyn and SLODHILL: I am so glad this is giving you a little boost. It's no joke to decide to tackle something new. Little by little and you'll get there!
sharalyn: I did 15 to 20 hours per week for almost 3 months. A few times I hit over 20 h…
Glutton: I guess it's silly of me to say I didn't waste time when it took me 20 years to get here. 🙃
I worked as a paralegal after college but instead of law I opted for grad school and was pursuing a PhD though I ended up dropping it (family reas…
Shaheersinn: For my study routine, I am not sure if you mean daily or the long-term vision schedule. I will try to answer both.
What I did at the start was aim for 10 weeks of study and mapped out a plan for 20 to 25 hrs/week. (My max ended up bein…
Juan23vr: Instead of going through Practice Tests, I selected from the test questions according to category and difficulty. For example: LG games of a certain variety (CondSeq, or whatever) and star rating.
I would make a drill set of no more than…
Yeah, why not skip? Once you get some data from your practice tests, just revisit the areas of the curriculum that are most needed. Seems like an efficient way to tackle it and with burnout as a factor, that might be your smartest strategy anyway.…
I'm not very knowledgeable about undergrad and graduate equivalent calculations, but I highly doubt that they would entirely dismiss your gpa.
I came from an international context high school and they had ways of calculating my gpa equivalent for u…
