Apply now or wait for Jan?
I'm in a bit of a dilemma right now in deciding if I should apply to schools now or wait to retake the LSAT in January. I took it for the first time in November and got a 167. Now, I know that sounds great, but my GPA is below the 25 percentile for every school that I am looking at. Sometimes well below. I’m not delusional and looking at HLS or Yale, mostly top 20-50. My 167 is above the 75 percentile for almost all the schools I am looking at. My goal for November was above 170. Now, I know that it is always better to apply early, but I think I can break 170 in January. Do you think I should wait to retake, or will it not make too much of a difference and just apply now?

Re: Apply now or wait for Jan?
What's your actual GPA, and what are your goal schools? You've given way too large a range for anyone to give solid advice about whether a higher score could impact your chances.
