This was practically an intervention!

I appreciate that.

No problem, brother! Next year when you're swimming in $$$ from T14 I trust you'll give the same advice to others in similar situations.

My thought as well.

Thanks again.

Just marched into my boss' office with an undated letter of resignation and was like, I'm done doing X Y and Z or you can date this today. Needless to say I am no longer doing X Y and Z which means less OT and way less stress. Gotta focus on that LSAT.

You are so awesome that I'm beginning to doubt you are real. It's pretty rare that someone is this receptive to the idea of waiting a year and retaking.

Sweet Jesus, you're a URM with a 3.93. With a mid 160's LSAT you could be looking at H/S.

Don't sell yourself short. Retake in October. Study your ass off until then.

edit> stopped at page one, good for you for being open to retaking.

Dude, such a good call. If you can bump your score up into the mid 160's you'll start getting near full-ride offers at T14's. High 160's and you've got a serious shot at Harvard. 170 and the T6 will be fighting over who gets to give you a full ride.

After additional reflection and research it became even more obvious that doing anything less than my full dedicated best would be a mistake I'd regret forever. Got the bibles coming, working on study plan, will get a tutor through extra round of Blackstone prep class, and then it's off to the races in October/December.

Thanks again for the advice...good stuff indeed.

This is awesome. It would make me really happy to see you succeed.

Congratulations on taking that step. Many on this board are hesitant to retake after already sitting out a year (myself included) especially if they are satisfied with current options. If what you aspire to be can't be met by attending a solid regional, good for you! You had solid options here but none of those degrees would travel and you would be limited to a few markets. Personally, I would have gone with Temple or Pitt
