Do top20 law schools care about your LSAT average?

Post by LittleCrab » Fri Apr 07, 2017 10:54 pm

I know that most schools only care about your top score, but do top 20 care about your LSAT average? Does it looks bad that you take 3 LSATs within 9 months?

It varies by school. They'll tell you if they consider your last LSAT score, your top score, or your average.

They don't care about frequency to an extent. It depends on your trend. If each time you did better, then it makes sense why you kept trying.

Short answe: Not at all, even if they say so. Long answer: Search the Spivey thread. He has been at pains to make the point.
