Need some advice. I scored a 164 on the LSAT. The school I'm applying to a school that has a median LSAT of 161 and a 3.8 GPA, while I have a 3.7 GPA from a less well-known school. I'm considering retaking the LSAT to try for a higher score since i really want a full ride, im considering retaking it. About 18% of admitted students receive full scholarships in this school. Do you guys think it's worth retaking?

I think the answer depends more on your LSAT circumstances than on the outside factors. Increasing your LSAT score will certainly help with receiving scholarship money. So the question really is about how likely you are to improve your LSAT score. If you have no reason to believe you've gotten the highest score you can get, I would say absolutely keep on attempting to improve. Even in the case of this school you're targeting, being slightly above LSAT median and slightly below GPA median is not moving the needle as much as those 18% probably are. Of course there are other considerations, but work for the score that'll make them and their competitors competing over you.
