Hi everyone

I'm brand new here and I wanted to get some advice on where I ought to apply.

About me:
I have a 3.83 LSDAS GPA and my LSAT score is 165. I'm a non-URM and I would ideally like to go to a T14 school. I have a year of job. I know that I can get three very good letters of rec (my understanding is that three is the standard number) with two from former professors and one from one of the managers of the nonprofit I worked for. I'm also Phi Beta Kappa.

Advice? Thanks in advance, your help is much appreciated!

You must retake. Two more points and you will be in at Cornell. Four more points and you're at Penn's new median, and would have a good shot at NYU. (and obviously scholarship increases exponentially as you increase your score as well)

Since your applying next cycle, you should definately retake for June and you still can apply plenty early. Heck you could even take a 3rd time in October.
If you can improve a few points, youd have a good shot at a few T-14 if you blanket. If your highest LSAT stays at 165, you may be apble to snag a t-14 but you may have to ED. Either way, max out retakes, apply early next cycle, and blanket t-14
