Should You Reapply to Law School Next Cycle? (Reapplication Part 1)

<p>In this episode of <em>Status Check with Spivey</em>, Anna Hicks-Jaco has a conversation with two Spivey consultants and former law school admissions officers,<a href="https://www.spiveyconsulting.com/team/kristen-mercado"> <u>Kristen Mercado</u></a> and<a href="https://www.spiveyconsulting.com/team/nathan-neely"> <u>Nathan Neely</u></a>, on the decision whether to reapply to law school. What are good reasons—and what are bad reasons—to reapply? How much of an LSAT improvement is enough to justify reapplying (6:00)? How much of an impact can improved work experience have (16:09)? Can it be a game-changer if the only thing you do differently is applying earlier (36:09)? Does it ever make sense to reapply based purely on the hope that next cycle will be less competitive overall (38:17)? And what advice can we share for applicants who weren’t admitted anywhere (47:10)?</p><p>This is part one of a two-part series. Coming late next month: part two all about the STRATEGY of reapplying.</p><p>You can listen and subscribe to <em>Status Check with Spivey</em> on<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/status-check-with-spivey/id1477090223"><u> ⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠</u></a>,<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1axZqBvq28wpvhKEq2l7sV"><u> ⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠</u></a>, and<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA_Rbmm6gSV09dUwrnlBjyQ/"><u> ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠</u></a>.
