What top ten schools should I be looking at? Are there any that I could get decent scholarship money from? Also, if I were to go to University of Texas would I necessarily have to stay there to practice?

apply to every school in the top 10. you just never know what may happen.

Texas can place outside of Texas if you do well enough.

Yale, Harvard, and Columbia, are big reaches with a 169, but other than that you have decent chance (though Stanford will still be pretty tough). You might get money from 7-10, but likely nothing huge.

Is there enough financial aid out there to pay for law school at a top 10 school if no scholarship is involved? Also, and I'm not sure if I asked this already but how big of a shot do I have at University of Chicago?

If you have a special tie to Chicago, ED to Chicago is probably the way to go. It'll give you a much better chance, and is one of the best schools your numbers might get you into.

Not sure what your aid question means. Do you mean via loans? Yes, they give enough for tuition + living expenses for most...

You'll get enough loans, get in most likely to PBVMD with a scholarship or two. Several high GPA 169 lsat people got good scholarships at michigan. And you have a chance at Chicago and NYU but will probably pay sticker and Columbia is LSAT heavy so a good chance you are out there.

Surprised no one's said "retake" yet.

So, uh...retake.
