There is nothing unusual about applying with a December score. In reality, some of the September test takers will be retaking in December. :|

My pre-law society and advisor are morons. They all think Oklahoma is the place to go and SMU is a reach school.

It isn't hindsight yet, so I'm not sure I could give a definitive verdict. So far I'm happy though, I'm looking forward to the year and cycle. Ask me again next September and it could be a whole different story. :P

I think if you're going to retake however, it would make more sense to do it in December. Don't sit out a cycle though, still apply and see what your options are.

When I was a freshman, my pre-law advisor told me I needed a 170 to get accepted at UF Law regardless of my GPA because they are so prestigious.

My pre-law advisor told me that "every single person" at T-14 schools scored in the 170's.
I just wonder how they get these jobs if I can learn more about admissions in 3 months of reading a forum than they can in a career?

Every lawyer in this town went to Oklahoma, so around here that's considered the place to go. A 150 is considered a good score here.

nothing in particular, it's just always nice when there's someone who somehow just knows everything about past cycles (e.g. lavitz) and you seem like you could be that type of person haha

Eh, I'm just intellectually curious.

When someone asks a question that is interesting to me, I like to track down the answer.

Once I get my LSAT score back mid-October, I'll check into some of the c/o 2018 school threads, but will probably have to create some myself.

I'm mostly targeting strong regionals for full-rides. I have money saved up for living expenses and have no interest in taking out a penny in loans. I'm pretty debt-averse.

Are you looking into UIUC, IU, ND? Sometimes I feel like the only one targeting midwest regionals as safe fall backs.

I have not had any contact whatsoever with my pre-law advisor. But now I'm really tempted to schedule a meeting with her just to see if she'll say anything really stupid.

Some midwest schools seem to be crazy generous with money, but they aren't really on my radar. Thinking more coastal.

I don't blame you; the weather is so much nicer on the coasts.
