Law School Discussion

I'm reapplying to a different set of LS's this year (due to a job offer my senior year and subsequent move). I'm wondering if

1) ad coms will want a reason as to why i'm reapplying.
2) care that my recommendations saved on LSAC are two years old.  they are both from professors.

i remember scrolling through those obsessive PR boards during the college admissions process (that was suuuuch a long time ago).  on those boards it seemed that nobody scored less than the 98%-ile on the SATs and nobody was applying to a school outside of HYPMS.  i ended up attending one of those schools; i can tell you straight off that there were a lot of people walking around with "average" scores and in no way did their scores mean they became "average" students.  Ex., my roommate didn't break a 700 on any of her SAT math or science exams, and did incredibly well as an engineering major.

granted college admissions isn't as numbers-reliant, but my main points are a) don't assume everyone applying to/attending prestigious law schools has outstanding stats and b) the fact that you didn't ace the LSATs doesn't mean you won't ace law school.  good luck, everyone
