LSAT

All applicants are required to take the LSAT. The LSAT is administered in June, October, December, and February. Applicants may take the test more than once, but repetition is not advised unless some disruptive factor has interfered with performance during the first administration. If an applicant takes the LSAT more than once, the Admission Committee will consider all scores, the circumstances surrounding each test experience, and possible benefits resulting from prior exposure to the test. Test results are sent to the Law School by the Law School Admission Council. According to LSAC, scores are valid for five years after the test date.

To be sure that the application is completed on time, an applicant should take the LSAT no later than December. Many students do not apply to law school until after they have received the results of their LSAT. Unless the test is taken in October or earlier, waiting for these results may delay the completion of an application and therefore its review. Applicants should complete the application process as early as possible. Early application often yields an early decision.
