Would love everyone's input and help! I have taken the lsat twice, 148 first, and 153 second. My cum gpa is 3.1, while my major gpa was 3.6. I got into Rutgers and wait-listed at Northeastern last cycle, denied from schools in top 20. I have a strong record of public interest work at a public defenders office, where I've worked since college. Do I reapply early before December (if it would help my chances), improving everything but my LSAT, or wait to January, take the LSAT, and apply at the final deadline (worried with my numbers that this would hurt me)? I work fulltime and need to ensure I have the enough study time to improve over 5 points, and hopefully score in the 160s. Goal schools are BC/BU. Please help!
