There's a pretty huge difference between a 160 and (if you think you can get it) 165 if you already have a 3.76 GPA.
Check out the difference here:

try 160/3.76 then change the LSAT score to 165. Huge.

Somebody should confirm this, but I heard schools put your file in the bottom of the pile based on your previous score if you tell them to wait on a future score. Have you considered applying next cycle?
