AA Male 3.52 Natural Science Major - 157 chances?

Post by GCEO » Sun Oct 13, 2013 1:49 pm

I took the LSAT one time in June scored a 157. I have very strong softs and aspiring to attend a top 14 Law School. Do I have any chance at getting into a top school? Also, re-taking in December is out of the question do to my time commitment to school. However, a February re-take is very probable and on my radar.

Can I apply now and up-date my score after the february re-take? Will that be to late? Will that hurt my chances?

Thoughts,

Why didn't you retake in October if you knew you would be busy in December?

Everyone is going to tell you to retake

February is too late, and your LSAT isn't good enough to get you on any real waitlists. Retake in February or June to apply next cycle.

if you retake, do it for June 2014. Apply next cycle.

If you cop a 165+, you're looking at YHSCCN.
