Numbers: 163 / 3.96
Softs: Good LoRs, strong work/internship history (state rep., private law firm, state judge), examples of work from a time-consuming passion / hobby, two minors in addition to double major (if this matters), proficient in another language (again, if this matters)

I was PTing around 166 with a peak of 169 and a low of 161, so I'm a little disappointed by my score (163). What's the best school you think I can get into? Assuming that money is somewhat of an object, what would be some good compromise schools that are lower-ranking but might offer me some money?

Thanks for taking the time to read, this has been a really helpful forum for my preparations.

You need to retake. Seriously. Even a few more points will make a massive difference in your outcomes.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I have been heavily leaning towards retaking in October, especially if I can significantly improve my worst section (LG).

Please retake. Please please please.

As I normally do on these threads, just gonna say I went 163, 164, 177 on three takes this past cycle. If you want it and put in the work you can break 170.

Best of luck.
