I'm interested in business leadership programs such as the Doctoroff Program at UChicago and Jacobson at NYU. As a K-JD, would applying for these programs put my overall application at a disadvantage? Is it possible to be accepted to the school without acceptance to the business leadership program?

Got a 169 on July. Debating whether to cancel. Have a GPA in the mid 3.7s and am really hoping to get into a T6, which I don't see possible with a 169. I was hoping for 173+.

However, the 169 is something I can apply with, god forbid September doesn't work out. If I score 173+ in September would schools look down on the 169, or is it high enough that it wouldn't hurt me?
