You will need to retake the LSAT unless you are a URM. First generation college probably not a big enough boost. Put in at least 500 hours of focused study (the forums here have helpful references). If you can get a 163, you can probably get a 170s with sufficient study. Law school admissions is a numbers game.RobertJ515 wrote:Lsat: 163

If you have not exhausted your retakes I’d suggest that.
To directly answer your question, I got into UVA with similar numbers applying ED in September when the app opened. That was multiple years ago so things may have changed.
