I could really use advice from other 7 Sagers. I've been subscriber and hanging out on the message boards since late last summer and I've seen this community give great input and support to each other. Can you help me make a decision?

Here's my situation. I'm a non-traditional student with 20+ years experience in healthcare administration, a masters degree (MHA) and a 3.0 undergrad GPA from 25+ years ago. I work full-time and took the the LSAT in February and scored a 153. Because of my life situation I need to start law school this year, even if it means going to a less than stellar program. I have no idea how schools will look at me since I'm not a superstar or even a splitter, so I've applied to a variety of schools (a T-20, several T-50s, and a few more down towards the bottom).

I registered to retake the test this Saturday and, for schools that offered, I've requested they hold off evaluating me until that score is available with hopes that I'll see an increase. But, my fulltime work schedule hasn't allowed much time to study and my recent PTs have only gone up by a few points (156).

So my question for ya'll is, should I cancel my test this Saturday if I'm not sure I can score higher? Even worse, what if I get a lower score - how would schools view that?
