Definitely need to retake for Columbia, not sure on NYU. Do you think you will be able to break into the 170s with a 3rd attempt? Or have you struggled to score there on practice tests?

Run LSN with your numbers.
Slightly under 50% chance for NYU, out at Columbia.
If you really want to go to either of the two schools, you should retake. Getting your LSAT up to 170 would change your prospects dramatically.

I don't think ED would help much. I could only find two datapoints for ED NYU and only one got in.
You should retake if you want either of those schools.

i was pt-ing around 172-175 before the june test, but i think that my achilles heel was reading comp.
with these scores, which of the other t14 schools would I have a good shot at getting admitted?

Your current scores? You have a very good shot at Cornell as long as their LSAT median stays at 167. Berkeley is a bit of a black box, but you're at their LSAT median and they love high GPAs. Just looking at the chart, everything else is a coin flip.
With a 172-175?
Almost all of them.

Don't let that GPA go to waste.
Retake (or as the Brazilians say: Hetake).
