What kind of school can I get into with a 159/3.73, I am a Military Veteran, and have been a Police officer sveral years. Does this work experience help at all?

Where do you live? Your work experience might help if you want to be a prosecutor.

You probably have a shot at ASU and U of Az IMO- these level schools are probably as strong in terms of ranking that you are likely to get into with those numbers (I think they will both be reaches with that LSAT). The Az schools will be in-state tuition which is a huge bonus, as long as you are comfortable practicing in AZ. If you want to move somewhere else, choose where that is and apply to a school in the region. I think you will have a hard time getting into schools any higher than around 40 in terms of rankings, and I think with your LSAT probably anything in T1 (top 50) will be a reach.

Can you retake the LSAT? How much did you prepare, and how was your score compared to your prep average?

Useless without career goals and where you want to work.
