Yes, people can get in with February LSATs. But since LSAC changed the test administration days, there is no more February LSAT.

There's a January test and a March test. The results for January should be in before application deadlines. March will definitely come out too late for you to be submitting fresh apps for this year. So if you're not taking the January test, your best bet is probably to apply next cycle.

This is all for the best, IMO. The February administration was, for many, a trap, luring 0Ls into applying super duper late and paying significantly more/attending much lower-ranked schools than they otherwise would.

Applying with a January LSAT is still not great, of course, but at least it's better than the old February LSAT.

I actually applied after the June test to the school I attend now. So February is certainly doable.
