I don't think you're supposed to create a thread for your own personal decision. If everyone did that, then this forum would fall apart.
Maybe go to the threads for those schools and ask those students for advice. I know a lot of the threads have employment statistics about the schools being discussed. That might lead you to more information that will help you with your choice.
Perhaps you could create a thread asking everyone what factors they weighted most heavily in their decision, be it rankings, employment stats, location, scholarships and costs, culture, etc.
Anyway, good luck with your decision.

Threads for personal decisions are great. They just don't belong in this forum. They belong in the "choosing a law school" forum.
Go there, read the sticky. We'll need your goals, financing, total coa, #s to give informed advice, but I can tell you now that people will tell you to retake so that you can get scholarship at GW (or better).

none of the above.
Retake is the only option.

Yup, threads about your own personal decision are totally fine and one of the things TLS is for. Just in the Choosing a Law School forum, so I'm moving this.

A few questions:
Do you qualify for instate tuition at any of these schools? Where do you have ties? What is the total cost of attendance for each? What are your goals ( big law, public interest, work in small firm, district attorney/ public defender office, work for a governmental agency... do something that is JD preferred, etc)? How many times have you taken the LSAT? Will you be financing the rest of your education through loans?
This information is important to know in order to better help answer your question. Right now, id say go to MD, but that's only assuming you have ties there, and it has the lowest total cost of attendance. But depending on the information contained in your answers to my questions above, my answer may change.
