You're already at the 75th so probably not.

In determining whether to retake the LSAT, it is best to look at the past admission LSAT statistics for the schools you are interested in applying to. Your score may be very competitive for the majority of schools, but to know for certain whether you should retake the exam, take a look at each school’s previous statistics to decide.

Best of luck!

What's your gpa? What were your avg pt scores? The answer is probably no unless your gpa is less than 3.7.

Edit: by a fair margin. But be prepared to explain a sub 3.7 to H in interviews. Out at S and Y unless diverse.
was averaging 177, 3.64 in engineering..

Don't listen to these fools. Some people get rejected with a 175. Don't leave any points on the table. I recommend you get some professional advice. For $100/hr, Hand-job (r) services are available. We'll work on addenda for everything you have never even thought of. We'll do it real slow.
