166/4.18 Engineering Major, ED Penn? Forum

I have already retaken lsat once. Got 166 in June, 166 again in October. I don't have much time practicing these days cuz I am also applying to ME grad schools and doing research. If I retake in December, i guess 3 pts+ at most. It could even get lower.

My question is: 1. What are my chances in ED U Penn, other MVPB/DGNC?
2. Should I retake the second time under the risk of even a lower score?

One more:
If I am waitlisted, how will I be better off if I retake LSAT in feburary, and get 169-170? I will have lot more time to practice after december.

1. They are esp. good at Berkeley, but you have a shot everywhere.
2. No, but for the love of God, spell October correctly.

What about U Penn

[Bodhi_mind]

I would focus on Berkeley

I would focus on Berkeley

That is the most sense making choice based on the number and the fact that Boalt weighs more on GPA. But my heart is with U Penn for personal reasons. What are my chances if I ED U Penn. 50/50 , 30/70?
