Any suggestions? Not biglaw or bust here, not going to retake, although feel free to tell me to retake

Well at least you know where this is headed
If you don't want biglaw, what do you want to do? Where do you want to practice?

Retake, or have fun swimming in debt with poor job prospects.

If you're not hunting big law, you at least have offers to think about. The most important questions are: Where do you have ties? where do you want to work? And where do you live/could you avoid col staying with family etc.

Go home! (But don't go to LS with those options.)

Tell me how you're going to pay off the loans you'd have to take out for these schools without biglaw. I always cringe when I see people go all: OMG TLS NOT EVERYONE WANTS BIGLAW YOU ELITIST ASSHOLES, now tell me which school I should take out 200k in debt to attend please!

No he doesn't. He's looking at big debt from all of these schools. He may claim he doesn't want big law now, but he'll need it in three years when he's six figures in debt.
OP, you already know what the credited move is. Don't take the lazy easy road now at the expense of your long term career and financial health. You wanna be a lawyer? Fine. Then take this seriously and retake the LSAT. Its by far the most important exam you'll ever take and you're really putting your future in jeopardy by rushing into debt at a crappy school without retaking

Unless you're going to school with the intent of opting into IBR or PAYE...do not go. Re-take. Re-apply. If you put a gun to my head and told me to pick, then maybe Cardozo just because it's in NYC and there's a chance you could get BigLaw...but even that would be a pretty bad decision.
