<p>blue: To be clear, are you suggesting that he go through the cycle, get whatever scholarships he gets, make his choice and still take the LSAT in June. Then if it looks like he is in a position to get more scholarships because of his LSAT score he should reapply and withdraw from the school he accepted or request that his admission be deferred? Once again, I was under the impression that schools will not look favorably on a reapplicant, particularly if he was previously accepted to the school and turned down the acceptance. This seems like the one caveat in this plan that could be a problem. Otherwise, it seems reasonable. In other words if he withdraws form Cal (see I’m learning) now, would they be less likely to accept him in the next cycle even with the improved LSAT?</p>
<p>Aires: You make some interesting points but it weakens your credibility when you followup with insults. None of that is necessary.</p>
<p>Neuchimie: As I see it this is true only if Boalt accepts him next time around. Again I have some concerns about the consequences of reapplication.</p>
<p>padded: Thank you to alluding to the point that there are considerations and concerns beyond the scope of the forum post.</p>
<p>Demos:Very interesting article. I also agree that if you can score a 168 you can also score a 170 but margin of error runs both ways and even among those tested in the article, the neuroplasticity margins were variable and correlated with the degree of LSAT success…Also help me out, what is PSLF and IBR?</p>
<p>The Brian: First, thank you for taking things back to my original question! Can you elaborate on why you would pick USC over UCLA? Regarding S’s certainty about settling in CA, it isn’t than he is uncertain, it is more that since there aren’t any strong relationships that are tying him to the state I can see circumstances coming up where he might want to practice outside of CA. Portability was very important in my life so it is more a matter of me projecting that life could take him other places if he was able to go. To be clear, even USC with scholarship isn’t debfree. (I guess that dispells any question of parents paying 300K to send kiddo to Boalt).</p>
<p>NEM: Thanks for providing the data, I wouldn’t have thought to look for those statistics but they are about where I would have guessed except for the decline to the 140 to 150 range, that I wouldn’t have expected, it must have been a very bad day!</p>
