This might not be your cycle. Better to know in September than in April.

3 answers, and back comes your personalized law school roadmap. Where your LSAT sits against the medians at the schools you're aiming at, the 2026-27 cycle on real dates, and a verdict on page 2 about whether you should be applying at all. Some of these roadmaps say retake first.

What's inside

Your verdict, on page 2. Whether you should be applying now, retaking first, or waiting a cycle. It gets written before the calendar does, because a calendar is worthless if the honest answer is wait.

The cycle on real dates. When applications opened, when the submission advantage ends, the 2026-27 LSAT dates and score-release dates, and the point where scholarship money stops being negotiable.

What schools actually weigh. The published 509 medians for the tier you're aiming at, and what they decide. What they don't decide is whether a tired reader still remembers your essay 20 files later.

I've been coaching the LSAT since 2005.
