LSAT did not come out as expected. what now? Forum

[sangr]

hey guys..
i have a 3.6 and was shooting for 170+ originally.

I believed i would score this but things didnt go my way and i got a 165... i am retaking this december..and i would love more than anything to go to UVA...or even georgetown and cornell would be great..

however after my score came out it obviously stopped my in my tracks. so how do i go abou tthis. If i take it in december and do well..its still late as hell..

And i have taken a year out...

So basically what do people do when they dont do as well as they do.. is it usually the fact that people apply to schools that are below what they wanted most? how bad would it be if i ended up waiting another year?

Im just kinda lost because i really did not expect to get below 170.

thanks

Retake in December

if you feel prepared and that the Oct 165 was a fluke definitely retake
