Is there any point in retaking the LSAT next June to increase my chance of getting of the waitlists? Forum

uGPA 3.90

best LSAT 166 (took it seven times. each score in chronological order: 157, canceled, 163, 166, canceled, 166, not yet released)

highest goal: Cornell law school

very weak soft

don't care about the scholarship at all; full ride vs. paying sticker has a negligible difference to me.

I, unfortunately, run out of the three takes limit in this testing year. This is my third admission cycle, as I keep retaking and reapplying. The soonest possible test for me is June 3rd, 2020.

My question is:

is there any point in retaking the LSAT next June to fight for a chance of getting off the waitlists if I hope to start school in fall 2020?

Thank you so much.

Yes but you may get more bang for your buck sitting out a year. Its value at a given school in June will be greatest for a school that's target LSAT/GPA median hasn't been met and where you'd bring up one # without bringing down the other. This could be Cornell but could be another school.

Thank you so much. Do you think it's wise to keep reapplying?
My case is a bit different than others as I took the LSAT 7 times, did 120 timed PTs, and studied for 2,575 hours (8-month part-time study and 16-month full-time study). I realized that I studied more than most others but I scored lower than others. I hope to reach 168.
