I applied late and I got into......

EDIT: Didn't see the black male part of it. It is definitely a risk to reapply but you could do better. However, with a big scholarship and your likelihood of doing patent law, waiting a year might not be a great move.

Impressive cycle with those numbers. What were your softs, if I may ask?

The opportunity cost of reapplying may not be worth it. I doubt your score would improve significantly and some adcomms consider three takes to be iffy. I would choose WUSTL. For prestigious PI, Georgetown + IBR might be worth consideration.
