I have absolutely no guidance from my school and don't know anyone that has gone through this process, so looking for any guidance and advice you all can give me. I recieved a 171 on my first LSAT and am hoping for a 174-176 on my next one. My UG GPA is a 3.66 right now, but it is dragged down by my first semester of college when I got a 2.6. Since then, I have recieved either a 3.9 or 4.0 pretty much every semester. Should I be considering t14s? Should I write an addendum?
Will they appreciate an upward curve like in UG admissions or do they just look at the number and call it a day?
I have a ton of leadership roles as well- I am the president of tour guides at my school, am on Mock Trial and a couple other clubs. I don't have much in terms of law-based internships or anything but have a lot of work experience and am the head intern at Admissions for my school this year. I'm not sure if law schools consider this stuff at all or just say they do.
TLDR: Where should I be applying with a 174 (ish) and a 3.66??
Thank you all so much! I had no idea that retaking on a 171 might not be a good idea. I am planning to cancel my August LSAT and considering taking in October if I could score much higher, but right now I am going to focus more on strengthening other aspects of my application.
