<p>On the essay section of the LSAT, I read that it isn’t computed in the composite score, is this correct? If so, do law school admissions take the essay section into deep consideration in assessing the applicant or do they not care about it?</p>
<p>This is true. It does not count in your composite score. Ive heard that if there is a dead tie btwn 2 candidates the admissions office will use the essay part to break the tie. Otherwise It has no bearing…</p>
<p>With that said, I wouldnt recommend tanking the essay portion of the test</p>
<p>They don’t care about it. Most of them don’t even pretend that they do.</p>
<p>it isn’t a big part of the application, but they do see it–so just make a reasonable effort (you have to sit there the whole time anyway; you might as well write something) and you should be fine.</p>
