Retaking the LSAT and improving would help, but that may not be an option for you. Send a letter of continuing interest a day or two after initial seat deposits are do. Polite, to the point, highlighting how much you want to go there.

Washington and Lee does

Congrats! It's great to know it's worked out for you.
-
@EagerestBeaver touches on this, but splitters especially may come down to the other factors on the application. Work history, essays, diversity factors, ect. will matter a lot more for splitters.

That's incredible @"Christina Walton" congrats! I'm not at all surprised you did it! Good luck!
-
@hchristinecox Not much you can do about the application fees, but I think a short break and then resuming studying later this spring would be good for you. Seems like you are stressed out. Pushing yourself when that is the case is just going to r…

@kkole444 No worries, I figured that was the case, but wanted to be clear about the advice.

@"Pat the Bunny" I strongly encourage you to do partnered BR. Take a PT on your own and find a buddy to do the same. Do not check your answers. BR together and challenge each other to defend your reasoning. This forces you to articulate your own…

@TheMommaBear Not addressed to me, but I have found I need to do less mapping out as I get more exposure to the test. Or at least, I have felt the need to map things out less often. Generally, for me, when I do need to map out a question it is a s…

Congrats!

Congrats! That's great

I strongly disagree. Let all the schools know. They'll be able to see, if they look, that you have a retake. If you don't notify them they may hold your application without rendering a decision. The schools you are waitlisted at are already hold…
-
Absolutely agree with @rmmccoy94 . Also, if you're just starting senior than you are not, I presume, planning to enter law school in 2021. If that's the case I don't really understand why you wouldn't retake. You could retake twice at a leisurely…

Congrats!!!
-
Yeah. I don't spend a lot of time on reddit, but I also hear that there's a good bit of snobbery regarding T14 versus T20 or T30 there so maybe you can take what they say about ASU with that grain of salt as well. This isn't relevant maybe, but I …

It sounds like you are not sold on applying this cycle. If you aren't really planning on applying this cycle, definitely keep studying and retake. While your scores aren't what you would like, they do show consistent improvement. It isn't like yo…

I have always been an exceptional and confident test taker and didn't believe that I would suffer the test day penalty. I scored below my average on both my takes, though much closer than most of you have talked about. I don't know what it is abou…

Congrats!
-
Good luck all of you, this test absolutely does not determine you potential as an attorney or even as a student. Hope things turn out well for all of you.
-
Based on this post, I assume you aren't applying until next cycle. There is absolutely zero reason to try and force an April retake especially if you are hoping to improve by more than 20 points. Take in summer. No need to take before then and it…

Even when I was taking 2 PTs a week and averaging 176 back in the fall, the test was not necessarily easy. Some PTs were. Others were frustratingly hard. There was not always correlation. The week before my October take I had a PT that I was sur…

Congrats!

Are you scholarship dependent? Do you have a particular school or handful of schools that you are set on and aren't interested in others? How do your stats compare to their stats? Are you comfortable with not knowing the result until pretty late …
-
I know you said you aren't looking for advice, but I'll dispense some anyway. You are, like me, an extreme splitter. And, while you are still a number of years younger than I am, you are also non-traditional. Good news, you have a shot anywhere w…
-
Congrats man, I know you put the work in and it is a great score. I feel you about the score too. I hit three points below my average, which was the same as yours this time, going into the October test. Only improved one point this time, but I am…
-
Regarding the ASU thing, obviously we can't speak to hiring, but I would think with as fast as ASU has climbed the ranks, even if they only maintain the next few years, they are going to get a much broader pool of firm/employer connections and begin…
-
@the19rows You should definitely do that, and let them know not to hold your application there unless that is what you want. In that case, still let all schools know, and ask them to hold your application. Many schools will move applications to ho…

I don't know about a dedicated phone line, but they are highly responsive to emailed questions. I would guess they will get back to you quickly on here, but you can also always tag a representative on the forums if you have a question for them. @s…

I think the prompt answers your question for you, "family background with little or no formal higher education" and "geographic diversity." For you, make sure you read the diversity statement prompt for each school you apply to. If you are unsure …
