Oh Lord. This is what I get for reading TLS at work and having to respond quickly. That's a little embarrassing. :oops:

I'm in a similar situation with a worse GPA. When I asked the same question, a lot of people advised against retaking. How did you score on PTs?

On the last 5 I took my average was 175. I had a decent amount that were above 175 throughout my studying. I also only studied for 3 months, at the time I remember feeling like if I had more time I could keep improving.

Hmmmm, why don't you study over the summer and see if you can improve? You wouldn't want to end up with, say, a 170 or less.

That's actually pretty statistically impressive.

If I got a 173 (or hopefully a 170) every single LSAT prep book I have is going up in a giant fire for all to see

Which school are you planning on applying to? Some schools only look at your highest score while other schools look at all of your scores.

The goal is to go to one of CCN with a scholly but I'd be happy at most schools in the T-14 (provided that I can swing a scholarship somewhere). I have a tech background so I'm interested in going into IP and am not too worried about the lower employment stats at some of the lower T-14 because I think my background will help me out come OCI.
