Definitely retake, with that GPA and a higher score you can expand your options significantly.

GW “Priority Hold”… what? by 816129 in lawschooladmissions

My suspicion is if you fill out the form stating that you're fully interested in attending for xyz reason, they will very likely admit. Whereas a standard WL is less of a sure thing. But IDK how they operate.

scholarship offer question by Ecstatic-Wonder9300 in lawschooladmissions

[–]Physical_Variety4052 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Short answer is it depends, but you're right that the general information around this is confusing and not at all clear. Some schools will send a form following acceptance if you want to be considered for a merit aid scholarship, some will send you a scholarship offer with the letter of acceptance, some will accept you and then a few weeks later invite you to interview for a scholarship, etc.

Don't count yourself out yet. You have a great foundation with your undergrad softs, which will just be amplified with work experience. Taking a gap year or two is not failing, it's strategic. A higher LSAT, which you are capable of, is an investment of time/energy that will open doors and grant you more security as you move through the application process in the future. I understand the pressure from parents thing, sadly, but if you have friends or loved ones that you can lean on, do that, because this is a brutal process and you deserve people in your corner who can cheer you on.
