Take your time. Plan for June, score high, write really good essays, then apply to schools with a better chance for admission/scholarship next cycle.

If you were to score higher on the LSAT and then apply next cycle, that would show schools how serious you are about attending. It would be a pro and not a con in any way, I'd imagine. Without a new, higher LSAT score, I'm not sure what else could b…

You only have one reportable score? A third take won't look bad assuming you make a real improvement. No need for an addendum, imo.

I can look over them. How long are they?

I wouldn't apply ED with your stats. A gap year could/would increase your odds at top 6, if you can manage it.

YSH like to take Fulbright scholars. The only thing holding you back from those schools is your LSAT score.
-
You will probably receive a near-full tuition scholarship, depending on the school. Lower ranked schools will salivate over your LSAT score.
-
Yeah, ask in person unless you have a ton of rapport with whomever you're asking. Professors seems to appreciate the extra effort.
-
Apply as soon as possible if you must apply this year. No addendum necessary to explain score increase, but you can notify schools that you have a pending LSAT registration.

What test and game #?

Pre-application interviews? I received an invite to interview with Georgetown before I applied anywhere.

I didn't write them either, but I did have a diversity statement.
