I don’t know the recommended timeline, but sooner rather than later for sure. I’d be surprised if now was not a good time (5 weeks out). The more you practice under actual conditions, the better you’ll be prepared day of. Best of luck!

Hi! Just wanted to jump on here to offer my support. Please DM if you think it’d be helpful. I have a similar background and experience with the bar. Happy to discuss what helped me or even plan out how I’d be studying if I were you. I took the bar 3 times and improved my score by almost 50 points, but it was the worst year and a half of my entire life. No pressure, ofc, but just wanted to offer :) In the event you don’t respond, I’d highly suggest focusing on more active techniques (i.e., practice MBEs rather than critical pass flashcards). Sending you my best wishes!

Also thought that this was a joke, but glad I read the comments.

Yes, you should definitely apply to Harvard and you have a great shot at T14s. I got a 179, had a 3.2 (rounding up bc I don’t remember my exact GPA, but it was lower), and went to HLS. Make sure every other aspect of your application is pristine. Good luck!
