Submitting application before score release

[bella243]

Hi guys,

Do you think it's a good idea to submit my JD application before my LSAT score is released? I assume that admissions committees will read only complete applications with all requirements submitted - is this the case? I just wonder if applying 2-3 weeks earlier in order to apply earlier in the cycle would make a difference at all if my score's not released and submitted to schools.

Thanks so much.

Hi Bella,

When you submit your application without an LSAT score, the admissions committee only starts looking at it once your score is released. This does give a slight timing advantage since they will already have all of your other paperwork ready to go once your score is released.
