I'm the master of the "retake" advice, but seriously, you've done enough. I'd apply everywhere and take the best offer.jbptls wrote:Would it be worth it to retake the LSAT to shoot for a higher score? I am looking to get into Top 7 and other top 14's with money.

You have a good shot at YH with your numbers, and you should be in everywhere else.jbptls wrote:Would it be worth it to retake the LSAT to shoot for a higher score? I am looking to get into Top 7 and other top 14's with money.

Thoughts on using an addendum to explain why?DoubleChecks wrote:OP, your stats and circumstances are somewhat similar to mine. i refrained from talking about my age -- just like the first responder said, write a PS that demonstrates your maturity. ive talked to adcomms before about graduating a yr early (yours is 1.5 but close enough) and they said they wouldnt hold it against you at all IF you demonstrated a rigorous course load + positive results (4.0 = positive results). dont make it seem as if you're trying to blaze through college, however. and i hope a big chunk of your credits were AP/CLEP stuff...that doesnt look too great on transcripts...if most of your college career has been through pre-college pass level exams haha.

Ummmm, OP specifically asked about T7 (although he seems to have edited it out), was assuming he was referring to Penn also since he didn't say T6. I don't dispute that the generally accepted tiers on this here chatblog are HYS CCN MVPB (although whether this makes any sense is a whole 'nother argument and one that we need not have here).vanwinkle wrote:FuManChusco wrote:that is some hardcore penn trollingplenipotentiary wrote:CCNP?Veyron wrote:You're solid.
