@gs556 That's great! Again, congrats! I may end up taking the October test...I doubt I'll get my score to 172+ by June (I'm assuming it's an automatic rejection from Harvard unless your score is in the 170 range).
Wishing you the best.
its just business. just like your stats are an opp for them to boost their ranking your game is to maximize your return (i.e. scholarship and best school). why would they hold against you if you make them look even better now! Do it
Wow, so HR blocked my previous boss from writing me a letter. I'm at the end of my rope for a fellowship and/or admission to a higher ranking school because of this. Gotta love professional life...
@as5324therapy they want to keep their acceptance % low, this may be a factor in the USNEWS ranking so obviously schools will do their best to rank as high as possible.
... in determining a school’s ranking, schools would almost be forced ... to maintain or improve their ranking. Even if USN&WR ... pick candidates to manipulate their ranking. They now have the option ...
LSAT scores are a big factor in determining a school’s ranking, and the highest score is the only one that matters for that. So they do have strong motivation to overlook weaker scores when deciding when to make someone an offer or not.
