3.9 GPA
170 LSAT score
AA Male
What are my odds at HYS? CCN? Is it worth risking a retake if I was PTing around 166-174? I checked various websites but I can't find many data points of blacks with similar stats to me.

Send out apps in September with a note that you're retaking the LSAT in November. Retake in November in case you get a higher score. No real downside to scoring lower on a retake (other than maybe in Yale's eyes?)
As things stand now you have a good shot at all of CCN and a plausible shot at getting into at least one of HYS

I'd be shocked if you didn't get at least one of HYS and all of CCN.

You can take the LSAT again if you want, but I don't think you need to. Instead of worrying about the test, spend the next month making sure all of your application materials are perfect, and then apply as soon as you can. I agree that you're likely get admitted everywhere.
