  I would retake the LSAT and apply next cycle . Early in September. From a 165- If you give yourself 6-8 months you can definitely score in the mid 170s!

  @natemanwell1 some people have real life responsibilities that prevent that you do understand that correct? If i just quit my job my family would be homeless and starve? Your comment is pretty ignorant

  Don't stress -- you already have a baseline of 165, which is great! Not to mention everything else you said (your GPA, resume, background etc.). It doesn't hurt to retake, since they take the highest score anyways and since you have until the end of the year to do so, do what you can and try your best.

  Take it step by step: start by studying the LSAT when you can, retaking when you can, and applying when you can. You already have a solid start. You got this! :-)

  Like others have said, retaking sounds like it'd be in your best interest. If scholarships $ is a consideration, scoring even just a few points higher will put you in a better position for those offers.

  Good luck on the rest of your LSAT journey!
