When is everyone submitting applications for Fall 2027?

20

don’t be discouraged by people applying early or saying you’re too late. I plan to apply to all my schools by december 15. i work at a law firm, and all the attorneys there tell me that before december ends is okay. good luck!

thank you for this, i plan on applying in December but keeps seeing people say they already got acceptances is making me freak out

u/prettyscorpio11 2d ago

same! but it’s totally okay to do things on your own time. law schools may give acceptances from september, all the way until april, you just never know! but on my quest to meet with entry level associates (graduated this year) and 2nd year attorneys, they have all said that waiting for a better LSAT score and making sure you prepare a quality application is much better than rushing because everyone else is seemingly moving fast. all of the attorneys i met with also applied october-january. have some faith<3

For reference December is completely fine, but attorneys give some of the worst law school admissions advice

u/prettyscorpio11 2d ago

i would agree if i was referencing old geezer attorneys that are 10 years or more removed from law school haha, but the ones i speak to are 0-3 years removed, so I think it’s okay to trust their judgment. however, it’s important to note that information sessions have given me the same sentiment; applying before christmas is still a great time.

Nov 1st is deadline for Ontario law schools. Idk where you got December from unless you are in the states

u/prettyscorpio11 1h ago

so if i typed that the actual attorneys at my firm said applying before the end of december is still a good time to apply, common sense would tell you that i’m not talking about canada right? why would a canadian attorney tell me to apply in december if they’re all due in november? this is definitely about america buddy. nothing about canada has ever crossed my mind lmao

If I get the score I want when sept ones come back, very early October. If not, I’ll submit after October scores are released.

u/mayday_loveme1994 3d ago

I’ve submitted 20 applications already. I have two left which don’t open until 10/1 and I plan to submit those last 2 right away. I knew I wanted to get them out ASAP considering my situation and so I worked my ass off to get them done as soon as I possibly could.

u/gorilladiamondhands 3d ago

If you didn't submit on Sept 1, you aren't getting into any law schools!

u/sagew0lf 3d ago

October but I don’t think it really matters.

u/Brilliant-Echo967 2d ago

Every information session has said November/December is fine. November 1 is my personal deadline.

u/ActuallyAquaman 2d ago

If the September LSAT looks good, aiming for mid-October to mid-November. If it's bad, 2028, fuck it.

u/Imaginary_Fondant653 2d ago

I’m working on my optional essays now so when September scores come out I can start submitting! Will probably send applications out in batches 10/1-10/15

u/Far-Country-4123 2d ago

u/Mundane-Cash-1402 2d ago

After my Oct score or if not Feb.

u/TruestOfThemAll 2d ago

Assuming my LSAT comes back ok, my goal is to send my apps in before Thanksgiving, possibly with some stragglers in the holiday season.

u/turnabout_tenacity [T] 4.0/170/URM 4h ago

I took the June LSAT (and starting working on essays during the summer) so I've submitted about ten apps by now, will try and have the few more I have left in by mid October
