so, just so I understand, you didn't have schools review your app until after the Dec score and were still able to get accepted with loads of scholarship $ to 15-17?

You're making me really lean towards re-taking the test and not EDing to UVA...
I applied to some schools in Jan. but I don't recommend it. I cut it too close. Also your mileage may vary.

I have no doubt that I can raise my score to at least >170, probably between 172-174...My lowest PT ever was 167.

The question I have is how diminished are my acceptance/scholarship chances if I apply late? Everything I seem to read encourages early applications and I understand the benefits, but if I can improve my score to at least a 170 is it worth waiting?

and Rad, Can I really apply and then tell them to wait to review my application until my december scores come in?
So from everything that i have heard once you hit January, your shot at T14 is very unlikely. Unless of course your numbers are VERY good. A 174 would definitely be worth a retake. You arent planning on taking a year off are you? If so you could apply now see what you get if you hit a much higher LSAT then you can re-apply elsewhere next cycle. Right now your best bet is UVA ED, if you do it soon you are guaranteed in. If you hit 172+ you will have a good shot at CCN.

Consider that Rad law has a picture of Tom Cruise as an avatar AND he's a 5000+ poster on TLS - That's good for several points on the LSAT in the eyes of a law school. Hence his YMMV disclaimer. ;)

I disagree with a lot of this January is WAAAAYYYY too late OMG advice. Just apply, and if you don't like the results, wait a year.

if you can break 171ish in june or feb and apply early you have a shot at HSY, CCN with money.

Retake. If you don't feel like you've reached your potential on the LSAT, that 3.9 is going to waste.
