Other than getting a little bit of love from CCN, the chances for Penn don't increase. Duke seems way more likely though.
Edit - I still have over a month before the registration deadline; I should work on the LSAT and see if I can make some big gains before then, otherwise it seems like it would be more advantageous to submit Northwestern ED as soon as applications open.
Penn WLs a ton of applicants, which is probably why you didn't see a big flux there. And it's more than just your chances, it's $$$ too.
This is the big internal debate I'm having, and I'd love to get more opinions from you and others:
1. For my personal desire, it goes from Harvard (dream school, know it ain't gonna happen at this point) to Penn to UVA/Duke/Northwestern ED to Michigan/Cornell/Texas/Vanderbilt; I don't care as much about CCN because I don't think I'd get the score necessary to make that financially feasible.
2. If I could get into Penn or Duke with a 169, or Northwestern ED, then I'm a happy camper. If not, then I'm willing to retake.
3. What scares me about retaking is that I wonder if submitting my apps on the first day would be more of an advantage because A) I don't know what my retake will be (could be lower!) and B) I don't know if the advantage of applying early outweighs a 170 or a 171. If someone can point me in the direction where I can figure this out, please let me know, as this is probably the biggest issue weighing on my mind.
4. I've burned through all of my tests, and have retaken many of them. I started a thread recently where I was assured doing a test for a third time isn't that big of a deal, just not an accurate indicator of what you'd actually score. So, I'm not that worried about it. With that said, it would be super nice to have an accurate idea of what I could score before I register for the next LSAT.
Thoughts? #3 is probably my most important consideration.
