I submitted all my applications in October, but I'm not confident about my chances of getting into the schools I really want because of my lower LSAT score (165). I'm considering taking the January LSAT, but don't want to request that schools place a hold on my application, in case 1) January's score isn't higher, and 2) in case schools run out of seats by the time January / Feb rolls around. I'm considering leaving my applications as they are (without informing the school), and taking the January exam just in case. If it's a higher score, and they haven't already released a decision, then I'll send it to them as an update -- assuming they take it. If the score isn't higher or they've already made a decision, oh well.

Does anyone have thoughts on this strategy or any insights? #help
