is there any chance for me to be considered by BC(BU might be tough), given that my score is 163, GPA 4.0(both under and grad school), and with a PhD in science, and research experiences at Harvard Medical School in a prestigious lab.

thanks.

coz I know BC is really competitive, that's why when I used the law school predictor program yesterday and saw "admit" from BC, I could not believe my eyes and doubt about the accuracy of the program.

For someone with a PhD in "science" your writing is pretty horrid.

Just retake... the science background will help but right now you don't have a very good shot at the schools you want. So just do better, and if not, become an electrician.

electrician sounds even more boring than a scientist.
I wish I could quit my job and retake. but I have to pay my bills.

Then go to a school lower ranked and hope you do well enough at said school to get you a good job. Or join the army.

163, 4.0 should be an acceptance by quite a few 30-50. Maybe even sneaking into top 30 but thats just a maybe.
