Help deciding how to approach the rest of this app cycle Forum

Hi guys, first let me say this site has been a tremendous resource for me to learn more about the realities of law school and the nature of the applications cycle.

I'm currently mulling over potentially retaking the LSAT one more time in March in hopes that it can get me off of a couple waitlists - 1) is this a reality if I can improve my score a point or two? 2) will it be too late in the cycle to actually make a difference?

My target school has "reviewed my application and was unable to make a decision at this time"; so essentially my app is on hold. For reference, my GPA is about 0.1 points under their median and my LSAT score = the median for last year's entering class. I really want this, and I know my app is competitive here, but I'm thinking a March score increase could be the difference maker. Is it worth putting myself back in the LSAT prep head space or would I be better off letting my application ride?

Retake in March. If you increase your LSAT by just two points you increase the likelihood of getting in and getting money. It might lead to your app being on hold a little longer, but the benefits outweigh the potential hold period
