<p>I saw in an earlier post something about letters of recs being attached to lsat scores?</p>
<p>Does this mean if i only apply to law school, then i only have to get general recs and submit them to the lsat people (whatever they are really called), and then when i submit my scores to the schools, the recs will be attached?</p>
<p>it seems too easy to be correct.</p>
<p>thanks in advance for the help</p>
<p>furthermore, i'm going to be interning this summer for a lawyer at a tech company. is it a good idea or even acceptable to get a rec from him? i think i remember one of the top 14 (on their website) saying academic recs are better, but i cannot recall which one.</p>
<p>Yes, it is very easy to have your rec letters submitted directly from the school using the LSDAS. At some colleges, they will gather your information and send it to the LSDAS, Med Schools, grad schools in addition to keeping it on file. </p>
<p>Most schools will only take recommendations that come via the LSDAS and will not accept letters from the applicant. When you pay the $12 LSDAS fee they send your LSAT scores, your LSDAS transcript, your college transcript and your recommendation letters.</p>
<p>If you are still in undergrad or have been working less than a year, law schools will definitely want academic references. Some will let you send employer references if you have been out of school a considerable amount of time. Again, if your school does provide a credentialling service (usally affiliated with the career services office), you can have your recommendation letters done before you leave school and have the recs sent out when you need them.</p>
<p>thanks for the clarification</p>
