Taking the Feb LSAT and Applying for Fall

[lsatlsat]

Dear powerscore,


There are several questions the feb 2015 lsat which I would like to ask you. Thank you in advance for your help!

3) Since I will be taking the feb lsat, I will be applying with my feb lsat score for fall 2015 enrollment. Now I am currently reviewing for the feb lsat, and haven't applied to the schools yet. Most of the schools have March deadline, so I am wondering, do you think that it would be okay for me to focus full time on studying for the feb lsat now, and then focus full time on writing the personal statement/diversity statement/resume (I have a rough draft for the resume already) AFTER I take the feb 2015 lsat? As schools will only review my application after they receive my lsat scores, I am thinking if I can use the gap between lsat test date vs. score release date to work full time on the application essays, and work full time on studying for the lsat now.

Thank you very much! I always very much appreciate your suggestions!

Hi there,

Yes, while it's helpful to get your application in a little early, if you want to focus on your personal statement and materials after you finish the test, that should be fine for a March deadline.

I would try to submit everything a week or so early if you can though!

Good luck!

Beth
