Question about application w/ retake looming Forum

[jk148706]

OK, I'm sorry if this has been discussed ad nauseum, but it's something I just want to be clear on.

I have decent numbers, but nothing great. They give me a shot at some t14 -- UM, NU, Cornell, Georgetown, and MAYBE Duke, UVA and UPenn. However, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't get much $$ at those schools.

And I want $$.

So, I'm retaking in December. And I expect to improve my LSAT score.

I also want to start submitting apps. My significant other needs to find a job wherever we go and I think applying early may give me a better chance at some of these schools.

Do I apply now and let the schools know I am retaking in Dec? Do I wait until AFTER Dec scores are out? Just looking for a little guidance.

Thanks
