i think retaking a 172 is crazy cuz like a 172 is at the 99th percentile isnt it? if not its like 98.9.

Lol im retaking that. Low GPAS FTW!

Don't stress it. Good LSAT and it won't matter much.

I'd be interested in this, and I have a short list of the schools I'm applying to that interviews. Although I'm always learning more schools are doing it.

I missed it-again? Oh, NO!

The one before I couldn't get in :( I guess no one could at some point…there was an error or something.

I have no luck with tiny chat sessions…we need to do another one!

If you're confident you could get 175+ and you're hoping for a scholarship at CLS, I would retake. The higher score would outweigh the late application. It also gives you a better chance for some of your reach schools, specifically HLS.

It's so true! In my case, I was lucky to get into some great schools last year but decided to withdraw and reapply for this cycle, and people have a hard time understanding the decision. TLS is nice in that no matter your neuroticism or scores, it's nice to chat with somewhat likeminded people without judgement (Ex. Retaking a 171, 98th percentile score - that conversation with non-TLS would have gone completely differently I'd imagine).

How about hedging and retaking in February just for scholarship purposes? But yeah, seems possible I might ending up taking the path you did and re-applying next year. In hindsight, what's the verdict on passing a cycle?

Why would you wait to apply next year? To sit in for December exam is "normal." No need to panic and wait for next year.
