They describe the enrolled class. The median is the midpoint, not a cutoff. A 25th percentile is not a minimum, and being above a median is not an admission guarantee.
Compare your LSAT and GPA to all three published bands. One number above median and one below creates a different file from being below both or above both. Essays, recommendations, experience and the rest of the application matter most around the numerical margins.
Retake when recent practice scores consistently exceed your official score and a higher score would materially change where you sit against the school’s published range. Do not retake mechanically if your score already supports your target list and the rest of the application is the larger weakness.
Harvard is an extremely selective national school. The medians describe the enrolled class; they are not cutoffs.
The class-level acceptance rate also cannot tell you your personal probability because schools do not publish a complete applicant-by-applicant model.
