This should probably be a pinned post, but it’s not, so:

When should I take the LSAT? I’m thinking either June or September but would like to know what the pros/cons of each are. In terms of scheduling, it would be nice to study for it over the summer, but that would mean i’d be getting ready for it while moving back into school and stuff. in terms of timeframe, I’ve heard it’s more advantageous, though, to take it in June after Junior year so as to have all summer to decide where to apply.

Anyone’s thoughts? I also have little direction as to where I should apply (esp as I havent taken LSAT yet) so here is a hypershortened resume of mine:

-Vanderbilt 2010, 3.65 GPA, English (creative writing) and Communication Studies.
-involved in greek life, student council, on/off campus jobs, yadda yadda
-interned last summer doing door-to-door sales, will intern this summer in DC for NPR
-would like to attend a school in a big/medium city
