Ep 95: Is September Too Late To Take The LSAT?
With July coming to an end, it's time to think about registering for the September LSAT. For today's episode, Alice addresses a common concern: Is September too late to take the LSAT? Don't fret and listen in as she also shares some valuable insights about timing your law school application.
Episode Highlights
Law school admissions operate on a rolling admissions basis, so applying early is better.
Taking the September LSAT is still a good option; it's not too late.
The strength of your application matters more than the exact timing of when you apply.
Don't rush yourself; take the time to prepare for the LSAT and make your application strong.
Having a backup plan, like taking the August LSAT and keeping September as a backup, is wise.
Applying in October is still early in the cycle, and the difference between September and October is minimal.
Applying in January or later may reduce your chances due to more competition and limited seats.
Taking the extra time to prepare can result in a higher LSAT score and potentially more scholarship opportunities.
Give yourself time to work on other parts of your application, like the personal statement, to ensure it's well-crafted.
