I now have my official GPA that I will apply with. I keep reading about GPA floors for schools in the T14. With a 3.65-3.7 am I out of the running for any schools like HSCCN as a Puerto Rican applicant? Thanks!

Puerto Rican means you are URM and your GPA is within range of their medians. Though you should be sure your school GPA is the same under LSAC calculations, several people have drops if they retook classes that were low grades (D/F). A high LSAT (168+) would help offset the slightly lower GPA and your essays/other softs could easily help offset slightly lower numbers. You are fine, assuming that the other parts of your application are strong.

I'm going based off of the LSAC generated GPA, which is the one that schools care about right? Also, thanks for the feedback

Sure. And yes that is what schools care about.
