Is there harm (other than loss of money, and possible rejection) in applying to law schools just to see what happens? Are previous applications considered if you apply for a second time? If you are rejected once, are you always rejected from that particular school? Answers to any of these questions would be extremely useful. Thank you.

No harm.   Getting rejected once doesn't mean rejection forever.

If you get in, and are still unsure, some schools allow you to delay your decision.

In other words, it's all upside.

For the record Doubleoray, I approached the LSAT with all the seriousness I could muster and never goofed off. By posting these questions I was hoping to get advice so that I could better weigh my options (thanks JD) as I perpare to take the next step. I never expected to get a mini-lecture on being serious from someone who doesn't know me personally. You assumed too much.

Doubleoray's response was reasonable.  A lot of people who ask about applying to law schools "just to see what happens" approach the LSAT on a similar whim, and you didn't indicate otherwise.

Anyway, yeah, you may as well apply.  A lot of schools allow deferrals, and if you don't get in to places you want, you have several months to study and take the LSAT again so you have better luck next year.
