Dave and Jon are here to offer guidance in these uncertain times, talking through the March LSAT cancellation, the (seemingly-inevitable) April cancellation, and administrations in the months that follow. That includes a discussion of a potential May LSAT, as well as the possibility that the exam moves entirely remote and allows you to test from home. There’s also an analysis of how this situation is likely to affect applicants through the remainder of this cycle.
0:00 – Intro. Dave and Jon brace for a wild ride of a news recap, set to the tune of the late Kenny Rogers’ “The Gambler.”
7:06 – Score Resurrection. If registered for March or April and you have a prior canceled score FROM THE LAST 5 YEARS, you get to see it and then decide to “restore” it or not. Zombie LSAT scores! Dave and Jon discuss who this affects, the overall fairness of this option, and what the specific timeline is if you choose to bring back and old score.
