I'm not sure it will earn you money, but it might increase your chances if you can get that LSAT up by two more points and if you really want that T6 spot.RonnyDworkin wrote:Got my score back:

Would it be worth it to retake? Am looking into T6 school. GPA ~3.4-3.5. Would it be worth retaking for higher chances? scholarship money?
Would I even get scholarship money from T6 with, say, a ~176?

I'm in almost the same situation. High score but a couple points off what I was prep testing at (consistently 177-180). Thinking I will likely retake, with the intention of canceling if I feel anything less than really good about it. I'm thinking GPA is probably too low to think any money at a T6 school, but a higher LSAT will at least increase the chances of being admitted (or scholarships at slightly lower ranked schools).RonnyDworkin wrote:Got my score back:
173
LR: -5
RC: -0 (Was getting worried about this given what everyone else one the forum was saying; usu. range from -0 to -3 on RC)
LG: -2
Thought I was going to do well on the LR. For LG, I didn't remember having a cars-themed game (guess I aced that portion?)
Was prepping in the upper 170s (last 10 test average was 177). Was really hoping for a 176+. Didn't feel stressed during exam and didn't regret anything w.r.t. prepping. Did all I could really.
