yea there is a negative- pay 160$ and do worse on it.

or you could improve and the school not offer you any extra. you know this

these threads seeking validation are annoying

Are you totally set on going to law school this year? If not, retake.

Even if you are set on going to law school this year, yes, a higher LSAT could lead to a higher scholarship if you threaten to reapply next year.

I see no downsides to retaking (other than time and money). If you bomb, you head to Cornell as planned. If you kill it, you negotiate with Cornell or reapply next year for even better T14 options.

I don't want to take the test again if it's pointless, but I also don't want to miss out on more scholarship money.

I figured my question could help other people make this decision too. I only posted my numbers and info to give a clearer picture of the situation. Sorry again if I am annoying people but I'm genuinely curious about exploring this option.
Starry Eyed is an idiot; everyone knows that. Pay him no mind.

It doesn't matter in the slightest if you do worse. I seriously regret not taking it the June before I matriculated. Do it.

Put a lot work in LSAT prep. Never did as well as I was capable of. Got complacent and left easy money and/or better long term options on the table.

I generally just feel bad for you when I read your posts, is why I don't call you out, but when you're being a dickhole for absolutely no reason to someone with a legitimate question, who should be encouraged and given validation, that is where Traynor draws the line.
