Generally you want to have your application in by American Thanksgiving, however, having it in later doesn't mean you'll necessarily have less chance of getting accepted. For example, my PTs are close to my target but I will not hit it by the October test. For me it is better to wait and take the November test.

Keep in mind also that this year's admissions experience will be rather different from previous years. Some schools have students that deferred. Many people are having problems with LSAT Flex, and especially ProctorU, that may have ripple effects on LSAT scores as a whole. School budgets, and consequently scholarships, are definitely going to be impacted.

You can see some trends for your schools here (just check previous years for more data points):

Do you miss the smaller details during blind review and when doing sections untimed?

On average how much time do you have left at the end of timed sections?

Do you understand the dictionary definition of the detail or misunderstood word?

Did you read it with a different definition or concept in mind? (I recall an answer choice that was about a person's position and I thought it meant their title, which was mentioned in the passage, but it actually referred to their point of view.)

In addition to Law School Numbers you can also check out Law School Data. In either case, take note of waitlisted as well as accepted students. Sometimes they don't update their status and were actually accepted. Also take a look at that data over a couple year period to see if there are any trends. Some T-14s don't have anyone listed under 3.0 for the last five years, while others didn't use to accept them but have recently been accepting more.

I attended a mock application review session at a T-20 and the admissions members said an applicant with a below 25% GPA can balance their packet with an above 75% LSAT score. A rep at a T-10 told me they have reviewers specifically for 2nd look candidates like splitters or below both medians.

Here are a couple charts of interest.
