163 and a 3.81 GPA, debating on a retake---any advice?So I retook the June 2015 LSAT and got a 163. Now this is much better than my first actual test score which was a 153 (did not study in the right way…
Admission with those numbers is not unheard of, but very unlikely especially for a non-URM candidate. Odds are you won't get into any T14 with those numbers, though T20 is a reasonable bet. If you're okay with that, fine. If not, retake. -

Just an added note. Know of at least one person who was admitted to Columbia this past cycle with around a 3.5 but a 170+ LSAT, non-URM.
A high LSAT in general will take you a lot farther than a high GPA/low LSAT. -

Are you a URM? That might be why they are trying to recruit you. If so, you might have a very good shot at an acceptance, despite your numbers. -
