Re: Military Experience, whats it worth?
I'm not sure how much it will help with law school admissions, but I know that it will help you once you're in law school. A student at my lower T2 snapped up a prestigious federal district court internship in SDNY right away, despite very median grades and the overall not-so-great reputation of the school itself.
if you retake and get 165, your numbers + decorations would make it worth an app to the lower T14, but i think you're still below median for them. As such, it might be worth it to target the middle T1.
Basically what I'm saying is that i don't think your military service will get you into a school that you wouldn't be competitive at with numbers alone (although it might), but your service is likely to get you a hefty scholarship at schools in the 165-range. It will also pay huge dividends for employment.... such that it may make sense for you to attend a T1 on a fat scholly rather than grasp for the lower T14 at sticker.
