Reapplication Questions

A lot of applicants think you only get one shot at applying to law school. You might apply, get a few acceptances that aren’t exciting, and feel like you have to pick one.

But you don’t. Go to a law school because it’s the right school at the right price for you, not because you got in.

Reapplying Works

Applicants worry that turning down a school will hurt their chances next cycle. It usually doesn’t. If you improve your LSAT score and strengthen your application, you become a better candidate. Better candidates get better offers.

Offers Aren’t Favors

It’s easy to treat an acceptance like something special you might lose. But schools don’t admit you out of generosity. They admit you because they want you to come to their school.

If it made sense for them to admit you once, there’s a good chance it will make sense again, especially if your numbers improve.

This Is a Buyer’s Market

You’re not asking for permission to attend law school. You’re evaluating offers. Law schools compete for strong applicants. You have leverage to insist on the right school at the right price.

Apply When You’re Ready

The best move is to apply when your application is strong enough to get great offers. If you need help figuring out when that is, use our Scholarship Estimator.

If you’re ready this coming cycle, apply. If you don’t get the offers you’re looking for, improve your LSAT, your work experience, and your essays, then apply again.

Play the Long Game 

You only get one outcome, but you can create as many opportunities as you need to get there.

Be patient. Improve your LSAT. Then choose the offer that makes sense for you.
