Goal: $ at a lower T14.
I don't mind re-taking in Feb, but I'm less interested in retaking in June/Oct (and thus sitting out a cycle). Is there any good stuff left out there in the lower T14s? Would a Feb retake be advised? Can my current numbers swing anything
without a retake?
PS - I definitely checked myLSN. I'm looking for some human intelligence from you bright folks as well

Most of the human intelligence you're going to get in here is based on us looking at LSN, too.

I would retake February and then June if need be to try and swing Harvard (at the very least)

^^ Leaning towards this. No reason not to use my application fee waivers in the meantime, I suppose ...

168, 3.91 was admitted to Northwestern ED (full scholarship) this cycle - One piece of anecdotal evidence suggesting you may get some $ from lower T14. The lower T14 relies on splitters to achieve their medians, so your GPA will likely be worth a scholly.

Thanks for the insight! I figure in the worst-case scenario I can apply, and go hard with an early app next cycle if I don't get sufficient $$ to satisfy my unending greed this time around.
