Softs: Good LoRs, strong work/internship history (state rep., private law firm, state judge), examples of work from a time-consuming passion / hobby, two minors in addition to double major (if this matters), proficient in another language (again, if this matters)
Bad news: white middle-class male
I was PTing around 166 with a peak of 169 and a low of 161, so I'm a little disappointed by my score (163). What's the best school you think I can get into? Assuming that money is somewhat of an object, what would be some good compromise schools that are lower-ranking but might offer me some money?
Thanks for taking the time to read, this has been a really helpful forum for my preparations.
You need to retake. Seriously. Even a few more points will make a massive difference in your outcomes.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I have been heavily leaning towards retaking in October, especially if I can significantly improve my worst section (LG).

Please retake. Please please please.
As I normally do on these threads, just gonna say I went 163, 164, 177 on three takes this past cycle. If you want it and put in the work you can break 170.
Best of luck.
