In episode 2, we will look at some generalized advice for juniors and seniors. We'll discuss timing for the LSAT and law school applications generally. Students are urged to listen to episodes 1 & 2, prior to attending advising. Following episodes will consist of interviews, so stay tuned! **You can take the LSAT multiple times and doing so is not the end of the world. However, it is best to take the test only when you are fully prepared and to avoid having to deal with multiple scores where possible, even in the case of schools that say they will take your highest score.
