Is it worth applying to these schools?

Hi everyone,
New user here. Just got my LSAT score back today, a 169. In order for me to go to law school, I would need to receive significant financial aid in the form of merit-based scholarships. Wondering if it's worth applying to some upper-level schools based on my resume (specifically Northwestern, Michigan, and a little further down the rankings, Notre Dame), as well as what aid I could be expecting from other T50/100 schools (i.e. Indiana, Wayne State, Loyola Chicago, etc.). Would love any advice.
Overall resume is as follows:
- 169 LSAT
- 4.0 GPA at Loyola University Chicago (graduating Spring 2024), double-majoring in Supply Chain Management and Finance with a minor in Spanish
- Internship experiences at General Motors and Gordon Food Service
- Extracirriculars include President of Men's Club Basketball, President of the Supply Chain Management Student Club, 2-time participant at the National Undergraduate Supply Chain Competition, after-school Chicago Public Schools program volunteer for 3 years, member of LUC Honors College and an Honors College mentor, reader at Madonna della Strada Chapel, member of Alpha Sigma Nu (international Jesuit honors society) and Beta Gamma Sigma (international business honors society)
Again, any advice is beyond appreciated, and others can feel free to use this thread to get their own advice about merit-scholarships too! Thank you all.
