@ It's settled then. I'll hold off on applying for the bulk of my apps. Maybe put in an app for a safety or two right now just to hedge my bets. Thanks to you both. @ I actually had signed up already for January, I was just considering backing out, so the deadline was not missed thankfully. Good luck on your exam!

LSAT and GRE scores

Hello,

I took the GRE two years ago in the course of applying to a masters program and I am now applying for law school for Fall 2021. I took the November test and got a 162, however my GRE score converts to a 166 LSAT according to ETS's tool. Due to extenuating circumstances (an unsanctioned bathroom break during the section break that resulted in the proctor messing around with my system and giving me warning messages that disrupted my test-taking and and then my frame-of-mind going forward) I'm fairly certain I can improve my LSAT score to at least what ETS would predict. On the other hand, I see all sorts of talk about increased application numbers this year indicating I should apply early. My question is: should I apply now using my GRE to the schools that accept GRE's with an addendum for the poorer LSAT performance? Or should I wait until I take the January test to apply with that likely better LSAT? I guess another pertinent question would be are their class profile statistics affected by my 162 even if I apply primarily with my GRE score? Thanks. I know this is a pretty singular situation I find myself in but hopefully someone has some good advice.
