Reapplying

[2k2e]

I am reapplying after applying very late in last year's cycle. I am wondering how much of an overhaul is needed for my PS?

An additional question I have is, if submit my applications as complete this week, and say decided, a little ways down the road, to register for the December or February LSAT for scholarship/hail mary purposes, would the schools be notified once I signed up and would that put a hold on them reviewing my application as is?

Hi 2k2e,
Good questions. With respect to your personal essay, this is a harder question to answer because it largely depends on the statment which you are submitting. In short, I would want to see the essay before I offered advice about submitting it. We do offer admissions counseling which you can learn more about at https://www.powerscore.com/lsat/law-school-admissions/ Take a look and consider potentially having a second set of professional eyes look at it.

With respect to your second question, if you already have an LSAT score on record, you submit your application, and you don’t tell schools that you’re taking the test again, then schools will just proceed as if the application were final, and could potentially render a decision before the next test’s scores are available. On the other hand, if you already have an LSAT score on record, you submit your application, and you do tell schools that you’re taking the test again, they will most likely hold off on reviewing your application until the scores of the test you told them you were registered to take are available, at which point they’ll request your Law School Report from LSAC, get it, review your app, and render a decision.

Thank you for the great questions and best of luck!
