Good luck on the January LSAT! Sky’s the Limit. Remember, we use the highest LSAT score! Here is everything you need to know about Duquesne Law application process pertaining to the LSAT.... Can I take the LSAT more than once? Yes. If an applicant has taken the LSAT multiple times and has multiple LSAT scores on file with LSAC it is the policy of the Admissions Committee to use the higher of the scores, without averaging the scores. When should I take the LSAT? We recommend that applicants take the LSAT twice; once in early fall and second in early spring. Please visit the Law School Admission Council at LSAC.org/LSAT for more information. How do you handle multiple LSAT scores, will you take the highest score? We encourage applicants to plan to take the LSAT twice. We will accept the highest score submitted. How does the Law School view the LSAT-Flex? We have reviewed the information on the format of the LSAT-Flex. For purposes of application review, we will consider the LSAT-Flex in the same way that we have considered the traditional LSAT: it is one of the many factors used in our holistic admissions review process. What is the latest LSAT you will accept? Applicants to the full-time and part-time day division should plan to take the LSAT no later than February. Applicants to the part-time evening division may take the April LSAT. Registration for the April LSAT is Wednesday, February 24, 2021. When should you apply? JD applications received by April 1 for priority consideration are guaranteed to be considered for merit scholarship.* JD applications received after the priority deadline may be considered for merit scholarship. *Students may submit their application prior to taking the LSAT for priority consideration. We recommend applicants take the LSAT twice. Questions? Email [email protected] Apply Now duq.edu/academics/schools//admissions/apply-to-duquesne-law
