Quinnipiac Full Scholarship or Wait a Cycle and T14 Sticker?

I'm currently looking at a full scholarship from a few TTTs in the Northeast, Quinnipiac being the front runner. I am wondering if I should pursue one of these options or wait a cycle and apply to the T14 and hope for the best. I really want to get to school and get started with the next phase of my life, but I also want to go somewhere that I have at least a shot at a six figure salary. My numbers are 164/3.52 with a NA URM (not currently enrolled with my tribe, but have the capability to be). Also, if the consensus is to wait, what are my chances at T14 schools (ie. how high in the rankings can I expect to have a shot)? Thanks for any and all input.

Why didn't you apply to UConn if you wanted Connecticut? Did they offer you any money?

I'm in at UCONN, no word on money yet. I applied late because due to extenuating circumstances, I took the LSAT in February.

You should definitely wait so that you can apply broadly and do the cycle right. Even without a retake you will find a lot of solid options between T-14 sticker and a Quinnipiac full ride. But you might as well retake since you have some free time ahead of you.

Yeah this. Having a T14 on the table is nice, or if you want to go the full ride route, at least do it at a better school. Do a full cycle and then assess things.
