However, I'm still toying around with the idea of sending in apps this weekend and seeing if I could still get in at a T14. Essentially, my apps are pretty much ready to submit, but I'm now afraid of there being negative consequences to taking a shot at this stage for next year.

My numbers are 171/2.98, with an addendum for my GPA and a very strong upward trend. The plan would be to work full time for the year, try a new strategy for re-taking the LSAT in June and putting in apps as soon as they become available next fall. My dream schools are UVA, NU and UM.

So my question is, will putting in a late flier at these schools have any effect on my cycle next fall?

Also, as the above poster mentioned, you may want to try to boost that gpa if at all possible. To get great success with that gpa you may want to try for a higher lsat as well. think you know that though..
