I just took my third LSAT this Sep. and unfortunately didn't improve from my previous score of 167. I applied late in the cycle last year and was basically between NYU at sticker and $$$ at UT, so I decided to work for a year, wait a cycle, and retake. As I find currently find myself in the same situation as I was last year but without my third take available, I've thought of a few possible options and would appreciate any help or advice you guys may have regarding them:
1. Apply broadly to the T14 from Chi on down, but earlier and with a more polished app than last year(before Halloween instead of late Jan, beefier resume with a full time position and a year of work experience on matric, revised PS, etc.)
2. Above, but with an ED to Northwestern (not sure if I would even be competitive for this, but it is something I may consider for the full ride if I discover I may have a shot)
3. Bite a hard bullet, take another year off, and retake next June when my 2 year test-taking cycle expires allowing for a 4th take. Was PT'ing around 173-176, I guess choked a bit this administration. (How does 4 takes look to an adcom? Hesitant to delay another year, but who knows)
If anybody could offer any advise on this, I would certainly appreciate it
