<p>So what I’m getting from this is that it is pretty confusing and that perhaps my best shot at guessing the likelihood of admission would be by going to the predictor websites. A couple of which both myself and my son have checked out.</p>
<p>Sybbie: So it is clear that schools will be asking if he had previously applied, but if he had new credentials, more work experience, or a higher lsat score or even if he just applied next year with similar credentials but earlier in the cycle do you think that would be a negative. That is assuming he is applying to a school that he previously was not accepted to. </p>
<p>The other part would be if he was accepted but did not receive scholarship money. At this point my S is pretty much thinking of borrowing the full cost as daunting as that seems. I expect that over Christmas break we will have time for face to face discussion about the implecations of this but by then I expect the applications will be out. In the end it is his decision and his debt, but yes very scarey. I suppose of that reality hit him hard it would be time for him to speak with the school about deferral or reapplying when he had better credentials or more cash. But from the gist of what you said you think that reapplying to a school that previously accepted you would be frown upon.</p>
