it's a little overly optimistic because it uses old data, but it should give you a better idea.

yes you can cancel - you have 9 days to decide after taking the test.

applying late hurts a little bit, but schools leave spots open for the people who took the dec lsat. it won't hurt you that much at all.

is there something I'm missing? there's no information on this page, and nowhere to enter anything.

I had a friend at UCLA who was a engineering major and graduated with like a 2.9 but got in the low 170's on the LSAT. He is at Georgetown Law now.

Being a engineering major will help you because the admissions people understand that your engineering GPA will be lower then the average English major's GPA who is applying.

I don't think you're applying all that late. Ideally, yes, you want to apply earlier, but this doesn't strike me as late.

If you actually score 165-170, you'll get into a good school, assuming your undergrad grades were reasonably good (i.e. at least a 3.2 or so). You could actually get into some pretty good law schools with a lot less than that.

How do you not know the answers to these questions one week before you're taking the test? And ya, from what I've read, the earlier you apply, the better.

And to the guy who commented on his UCLA friend, getting a 170+ on the LSAT is 99%tile.
Also, I'm pretty sure Georgetown isn't a top 10 school.

Also, is it true that applying this late will hurt my chances of getting into a good school?

I didn't apply until the absolute last minute and did ok, prolly wasn't ideal though.
