<p>I’m no expert on this process, but I’m attending a top master’s program in a social science field and I have numerous friends who applied to law school, decided to do postgraduate work for a year or two instead, then applied again and got into significantly better programs with the same LSAT score. For those who retook the LSAT after attending graduate school, their scores increased. Getting a master’s degree and adjusting to graduate-level work before starting law school, even if it doesn’t give you an edge in admissions, should further develop your analytical and reading skills and prepare you more for the experience.</p>
