Studied my ass off for the October LSAT but tripped up after both my Uncle and Grandpa died within a week of each other in mid-August. Currently attending a top 3 Public School and was hoping for T-14...but now that is obviously not a possibility. I have outstanding LOR's and tremendous softs.
Do I have a chance at any T-25, if so should I even consider? I know most people will say retake and I am open to that but would need some advice on how to prepare myself and which LSAT test date to take. Thanks all!

Retake in December. There are some great study guides in the LSAT section of these boards.

This is kind of like someone from Cornell saying they go to a Top 2 university in New York.

Thank you all for the help! December LSAT is not an option, thinking about applying next cycle and taking June or October.
But I need to see if I could study well during the last quarter of my senior year in order to take June!

I wish more people had this mentality. Good for you and I hope you nail it in June.
If you can manage to study 3-4 hours a day starting in late March or so (which I think is manageable), you'll be in good shape.

Jeeze, so many people on here have lost relatives during the school year or while studying. It's astonishing.
