I've taken the LSAT three times and have one cancel. I scored in the 94th percentile on my highest take.

@ I don't need a full-ride. Just need a top school. I can cover almost all the debt tbh.
@ I spoke with HLS admissions Thursday and they just stated they'll look at the highest if can provide a compelling enough reason. I've already applied to HLS and they'll hold my app until the Feb. take. If I can bump my score to around 175, I think I may have a shot. Otherwise, it's Penn Law or Georgetown.
@ it was mix a of both. Tried initially and kind of gave up after I couldn't set up the second LG game. but I doubt my diagnostic would have been higher than a 140 had I tried lol. The 167 was tough work for me. I did hundreds of logic games and LR sections to score that. RC I sort of neglected as I felt I would make marginal gains. I've recently started drill RC so that's why I was able to score in the 170s
@ PE I was on the transactional end so I wasn't given much chance to work directly with LPs or raise capital. I held a minority position in the firm primarily because my brother was the principal.
Commercial assets were restricted to the hospitality sector.
We would purchase commercial real estate that went to into foreclosure. Collateralized property never usually covered the lender's judgement so we would secure the rights to collect from the lender and through legal proceedings have the PGs satisfy the deficiency. Repositioning the property wasn't an issue but litigation strategy would bleed our funds.
So what underwriting gives me is a chance to advise the issuer how raise capital through debt/equity securities which is something I never did in PE. Don't get me wrong, PE I learned a lot from leveraging state programs to cover a fraction of development costs to bond financing but it wasn't for me. Hope that makes sense.
I'm thinking about business school after I get my JD. I think JD would help me more than a MBA. I don't see a point of a MBA if it's not from the top schools. I was recruited on my experience and knowledge alone.
As for everyone else, first thank you for your help. I've taken two PTs after the December exam and scored 177 and 173 which were fresh takes. It's more so for me about how another take would look than if I can actually hit 170. I'm quite sure I can if i consistently score in the mid-high 170s.
@ read that a while ago too. I think you'll be primarily judged on the narrative you tell in your addenda. It's though to justify so many takes but for me I couldn't work 60+ hours and study effectively. Hence, I should have never taken it in the first place but it's already done. I can't change it. I'll just have to convey to admissions that my last take is a more accurate representation of my abilities.
