Consequently, you may not know in time for the December registration date whether you need to retake the test to improve your chances for admission. Therefore, the earlier your admissions materials are complete, the better your chance for acceptance. The LSAT must be taken and reported for the admission file to be complete. Many students applying for law school fail to consider the differences in law schools when completing applications. Every law school and every potential law student are not necessarily right for one another.
Students can obtain excellent legal educations in a variety of settings.
Therefore, students should select potential law schools on the basis of individual needs. The selection decision will be difficult and will demand considerable care and thought. You should begin the process of choosing law schools with a self-assessment, an honest appraisal of your strengths and preferences. Bear in mind that qualified students are rejected each year by all the schools to which they apply because they overestimate their qualifications and underestimate the competition. You can avoid this dilemma by applying to a mixture of schools, including some at which your chances of being accepted are good and some at which admissions are more competitive.
