If your GPA is anything north of a 3.5, then you're essentially a lock at everywhere except Y/S. I applaud your discipline & drive, but a couple more points will only help at those schools.

170 is more than enough fr a good law school. If you retake it, you risk getting an actually lower score. you might score 168, you never know.

170 is a VERY good score so keep it and be happy and apply to schools.

I say you're good to go. The LS won't care about your GPA if its reasonably good because it won't count towards their numbers. Blanket the t14.

Also, as a URM with a 170, you don't have to worry nearly as much about a non-perfect GPA.

Yea but every point above 170 comes with alot of money. He/she has no gpa.

If you know you can, and you not in school currently, what do you have to lose?
