ANOTHER retake/don't retake topic... Forum

[lshamlet]

Hey TLS,

I'm unsure of whether to retake. My LSDAS GPA is a 3.89 and my single LSAT score is 173.

My goal is a T14 school with some scholarship money.

Target:
Virginia
Penn
Michigan
Cornell
Northwestern
Georgetown

My top 2 of those are Penn and Georgetown.

I will also apply to Harvard as a reach.

My LSAT scores were steadily improving week after week up until my final PT a couple days before the exam. Given this trend, I feel like a 175+ is in my reach, so I've been contemplating retaking in October. Is a 173 good enough for admission + scholarship from the T14 that I listed? Should I not push my luck?

Thanks for the poll responses, but does anyone have any insight on the scholarship thing...?

I'm really not an expert on this topic at all, but I would imagine your numbers might get you some scholarship money from Georgetown. Don't take my opinion for too much though; maybe someone with personal experience on the matter can give more concrete advice.
