Reverse-splitter 4.14 UGPA 160-165 LSAT What are my chances?

I took the September LSAT today, and I felt really bad in my RC section, because I thought my first section should be real but it was an experiential... Anyway, I did really bad this time, and I don't want to take the December LSAT because I would want to spend my time on what I am passionate about not the standardized test. (personally I think i'm just not good at standardized test. My SAT reading section was only 550, but I took a few law courses in my undergrad years and found the reading very appealing and I could do well in class)
I think my LSAT score would be between 160 and 165, but could be lower... My undergrad GPA is 3.98, and UGPA is 4.14 (got A+ for half of my courses). About my soft, I established an international organization and was part of the executive board of a national honors society. Also I've published a research paper and currently working on two papers related to international development. I have some internship experience as well. So i think my soft is a little better than mediocre?
I wonder which schools are likely to accept reverse-splitters like me, and how I can improve my chance through other application materials.
Thanks to everyone in advance! I truly appreciate any feedback!

Can't help you until you have a score.

Whether you have a 159, 162, 165, etc. will make a HUGE difference; so saying "I did bad on my LSAT! Maybe 160-165! Where can I go?" is a little premature and silly. A 160 will make a T14 extremely unlikely, but a 165 will make it possible. You see what I'm saying?

Your softs will not matter at all; law school is a numbers game.

Also, are you international? Did you go to school in the States?
I'm sorry for asking this silly question. I guess I was just too anxious about my school choice. Yes, I am an international student, but I go to a state flagship university in the U.S. I'll wait to see my score comes out and as for advice. Thanks for the feedback!

If you did poorly, retake. It's that simple.
