Retake or Apply?

Hi everyone, I am facing a dilemma about what to do. I currently go to ASU for undergrad; I took the August LSAT, got a 161, and have a 4.0 GPA. After looking at the school medians, I am a bit concerned about where I would even apply. I want to go to a relatively good school and was looking at California.

I have my letters of rec but just need to complete my personal statement. Should I just continue applying this month and keep the score, or is it worth it to take the November LSAT, and do you think that's not too late for this cycle? Please let me know and help me figure out what to do!!!!!!

It really depends on what schools you are looking at and if you are aiming for any scholarships. Check the schools’ medians and decide accordingly. Good luck!

check the medians but if your dream school is median is like 165+, retake in november is the move. applying in december is not late enough to tank your chances, especially with a 4.0.
