I'd aim to have my PT scores in range during the summer which should allow for a retake while still getting apps in before the new year. That said it's far more beneficial to focus on your scoring and let that determine your timeline. A late app (or…

That is what they see, and you can't insert breaks. Just around with other ways to separate content... I used double colons or numbers, or just rewrote in narrative form, content dependent.
GULC's class is massive. I don't know what the rest of your app looks like but people get in there with lower scores than yours... including during this cycle.
Two Cornell tutors... coincidence? lol jk.
Congrats bro, you deserve it! When you have the dedication and put in the work, nothing can stop you. Solid tips as well for future 7sagers.
Review your take/BR and account for the difference in score. What is happening on your timed run and how can you fix it? What are the specific reasons you missed each individual point? Then tailor your work between PT's to specifically address those…

Figure out what is limiting you to 171 on your PTs and address it. Instead of asking how can I directly address anxiety, sometimes it is more productive to focus on being able to perform in spite of it. That can be achieved through mastery of the co…
What are the medians of your target schools and what is your GPA?
January is objectively not too late, though it may be too late for individual schools.
Its because ABA 509s have a separate category for "two or more races" where you wouldn't be categorized as either. Not to say a given school doesn't have its own diversity targets independent of that, or that you wouldn't get a boost school dependen…

Thank you for the insight! Basically my fear is that it will look bad/hurt my chances when admissions see the lower score, especially because it came after a higher score, not the other way around. I don’t want them to wonder w…
There is little to no benefit in cancelling a score. What do you believe you'll be gaining by doing so?
It's hard to gauge how you did. In 2020 when they resurrected cancelled scores, there was no shortage of people with high 160 to 170+ scores. T…
App farming... normal. Helps your selectivity metric if you have a ton of apps relative to actual offers. Not to say you couldn't get in, but thats what those emails are.

I applied in the 19-20 cycle with a 158 but decided to try again after I pulled a bunch of t14 WLs.
