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.

Stan- this sounds like a plan
