Let's say you take again and get a 173... Harvard/Yale/Stanford might ding you for the 7 takes, but everyone else will probably still take you, assuming the rest of your application is good.
I think it's useful! I've self toured NYU, Columbia and Fordham. I feel like it gave me a good sense of the campus life and will give me some specifics to write about in my Why X essays.
Are these meant to be like essays? What if I have two things I want to acknowledge? lsatcantwin did you include both of those things in the same document?
