GPA: 3.74 (Biochemistry)
LSAT: 160
I've only taken the LSAT once. My softs are decent, graduate degree in STEM field and several research publications.
Thank you for any advice.

By the beard of Zeus, retake. Hard sciences with a good GPA and you want to pay a quarter mil to attend UICU? Please don't do that. Please.

Definitely retake OP. If you got a 3.74 in BioChem I'm pretty confident you can go up to at least a 165 and get full rides to these schools if that's what you want.

Thanks for the advice. That's what I figured. I made the mistake of assuming the LSAT was like the GRE and you didn't have to study for it. I'll retake in June or Oct. I think finding this site saved me from ruining my life.
