2x LSAT 173/3.8 Retake for Harvard? Forum

[onecard]

I just got 173 LSAT for the second time, first time last June while still in UG. 3.8 GPA average softs. Will have 1 yr work exp. Luckily, family able to pay sticker. Looking for the best school I can get. PI interest, no Big law. Should I re-take in Sept before applying to Harvard? Usually PT 174-177. made a stupid error this test. RC -1 LG -2 LR -3. Would re-take hurt or help? Thanks in advance.

Yes absolutely. Worst case you go down a couple points. Best case you bump up to at or above their 75th, which could make the difference. I'd say right now you're sitting at a 50/50 shot just looking at the numbers.

+1
Two more points and your chances increase substantially.

U should retake if u want H

Appreciate the help, am going to register for Sept. Does anyone think that multiple takes look bad on apps when score is in the same band? I know it will probably cause me to get YP at lower T 14, I would expect that, I just don't want to look like a tool to the rest. Damn that curve.
