Hello,

I am taking the June LSAt exam for the first time and I have read about that the vast majority of schools including the ones I am thinking of applying to, while they can see both LSAT scores if i are to retake it in September as well,...mostly consider the highest score in the admissions decision....but how do schools view multiple LSAT's when deciding to give scholarships or financial aid?

i realize it's a very broad question and each school has its own policy but was wondering in general terms how do schools determine which LSAT scores (highest, average, act) they take into account for scholarships and financial aid.

Thanks!

Good question, Matt, and one that is popular enough that we have some info to help you already posted elsewhere. First, let me send you here:

http://www.powerscore.com/lsat/help/questions.cfm

Click on the question about multiple scores and see what we have to say about it there.

Also, this blog post, while a few years old, remains relevant (and repeats much of the info in the above link, so you might want to start here):

Short answer - it depends, and you should check with the schools you are interested in. I don't know that we have info specific to financial aid and scholarships, just admissions, so your best resource will be those admissions offices.

Good luck on Monday!
