Many of those links dont work but I will look into it.
Thanks for your input.
I know people will get irritated with the hypotheticals when it is really hard to get 170 in LSAT.
I just want to set my goal to where I have to reach in order to get into the school that I want.
Not trying to belittle those who got good score in LSAT.
I just want some feed back and what i should prepare more on to improve my chances.
Thanks everyone for understanding.

It sounds like English is not your first language. You may find that the LSAT is considerably harder than you expect for non-native speakers, as it requires complete fluency and familiarity with the fine nuances of the language. A lot of non-native speakers have to first take time to polish their English skills before they can really prepare for the LSAT. I would encourage you to still aim for a high score like 170, but realize that it might take a lot longer than you're expecting.

All 3 of those schools - USC, Cornell, and UCLA are big reaches and unlikely with a 3.25/170. All 3 of them are not known for being splitter-friendly.
Look here:
http://cornell.lawschoolnumbers.com/stats
The only person accepted to Cornell with less than a 3.3 is a minority with a 177.
http://ucla.lawschoolnumbers.com/stats
UCLA is a little more likely but still a bit of a reach.
http://usc.lawschoolnumbers.com/stats/1011/
same thing for USC.
Splitter-friendly schools you might consider adding: WUSTL, Georgetown, Vanderbilt.
Also, a 170 is not a sure thing. You should take a diagnostic (practice test) and see how you do so you know what your starting point is.
