Retake LSAT and reapply?

Hi guys,
So far I have heard back from the following schools:
Duke - Priority Reserve
Harvard - Hold
Northwestern - Hold
Columbia - Reserve (WL)
UT - Accepted
Cornell - Accepted
Michigan - Accepted
NYU - UR
Penn - UR
Chicago - Complete
I am thinking that maybe I should retake the LSAT in June and reapply next year? AA female 3.74/165. Unless I get into one or two of the remaining schools, I am wondering if there is any point in waiting. After all it seems unlikely that I would get much $$ from only of the WL/held schools.
Thoughts?

You get into the 170s, which it seems like you can, a whole new world of schools and $$$ showering down upon you

This is a tough call. If I was in your position, I'd only be willing to pay big bucks for H or C. A 170+ would open up new doors however!

Be patient, URMs generally have to wait for their acceptances. Around 50-70 URMs a cycle have a 3.5+/165+ so you're in a pretty elite class.
Take the June LSAT for scholly money and wait it out. I think you'll be happy with your results. If not, then re-apply next cycle.

You mean 50-70 AA URMs, right?

OP, I have a AA friend that got into Harvard with slightly lower stats. If you get 2-3 more points on the LSAT, I can almost guarantee you will get into Harvard.

Yup. And around 230-250 PR/Mexican URMS and a tiny tiny number of NA URMs.
