Banking/Trading-LSAT?

I am a sophomore hoping to summer in a FIG/DCM/LevFin banking role or an algo-trading or electronic trading group at a bulge bracket bank after my junior year's conclusion.

I was wondering whether taking the LSAT and listing a high score (178 of 180) would be something that I should be including on my resume. While it is a very good score, I am wondering whether that might make people wonder whether I really want the banking/trading job (which I do) or whether I really want a job in law (which I don't).

If anyone has any insight regarding this matter, it would be greatly appreciated.
