I wouldn't bother EDing. Urm cycles can be unpredictable, but I think you stand a shot at getting money in the t14. No reason to foreclose that for the arguably nonextistent boost that applying ED provides.

Don't ED. I would retake the LSAT though. As an aa male with a 3.7, you can get t-6 with a few more points on your lsat

DO NOT APPLY ED. You should get into many t14s and with money from a few, it'd be absolutely stupid to ED and lose your leverage.

Is there any situation where a URM should ED besides income?

I wouldn't ED either. Your chances are going to be unpredictable. Don't lose your leverage.
