Those are both very regional schools. Do you want to spend the next 10-15 years in MI or upstate NY? (Forget NYC with Syracuse...)

Retake/reapply.

i would say retake + reapply + re evaluate places that you would like to work. It is hard to break into the DC market. Try for a secondary market like Pitt, Cleveland or Denver.

That's a decent LSAT. Did you apply to UMD, W&M, W&L, GW, etc?
EDIT: How late did you apply?

With those numbers, you should really be looking at T30 schools. I am not sure, but BC/BU might be a possibility.

With your stats, I wouldn't go to either of those unless you're getting full-ride, or at least a lot of money. At least for MSU, you're wayyy above the 75th LSAT, but just barely under the 25th for GPA. Try to get money out of them, but you could definitely get into better schools than those two if you can put together a solid application.

Why have you started three threads on this? You haven't even taken the LSAT.

In this thread you claim you have a 170. In the other thread you say you have URM status.
This is a troll or just really really weird.
