Honestly, you could change your cycle DRASTICALLY by retaking. I'm talking breaking into the T6 (not to mention probably H), getting some serious money (think multiple full schollies at T14s). But before I encourage it too much: how much did you study for June, and what was your cold diag/average PT score while studying?lilasiaboi wrote:I took the June lsat and attend a top 20 college with a 3.92 gpa. What are my chances at T14? Ideally, I would like to get into CCN, but I'm not too sure about my chances with my numbers. Should I apply early or retake the lsat for a better score?
I studied a month for the June test. My cold diag was 161 and I was averaging 170 on my PTs right before the June test. I suppose I will retake in October after some more preparation.crumpetsandtea wrote:Honestly, you could change your cycle DRASTICALLY by retaking.

Although I used both Law School Predictor and Horumd, I still only have a very basic understanding of my chances, for I only see numbers in those results. What i hope to acquire is a more in depth understanding of what those numbers mean and what courses of action I should take to improve my chances.admisionquestion wrote:Normally I would say about 40 percent on each with those numbers.

Normally I am against the very automatic retake response in situations, but you can prepare much more seriously than that. If CNN is what you want, take the test in October, and get a 172+ and pick which CNN you would like to go to attend and/or make YHS a real possibility.

This is exactly right for a 169 / 3.9x. You probably won't see much money though until you hit Duke or so. Michigan might throw you a little bone if you get in.TLSNYC wrote:I am basically a numbers twin, except slightly higher GPA. I got into Chicago and NYU. I also got into Michigan and Penn (which is where I am going). I could've got into UVa if I wanted (just had to switch my app to ED). I EDed to CLS but am on the WL.
So, in sum, decent shot at CCN and good shot at MVP.
Also note - this cycle will be even easier than mine, so you're in good shape.
Yeah....study more than just a month. If you really apply yourself I can't imagine that you won't be able to break 170, and that will seriously make your cycle spectacular.

I studied Powerscore LG and LR Bibles and took around 16 PTs under timed settings. My main problem is RC, which killed me on the June test, so I'm studying the Manhattan RC book right now.crumpetsandtea wrote:Yeah....study more than just a month.

What did you do to study the first time?
