Not sure if you've heard of it but check LSN: https://mylsn.info/hygckk/

I think most people on here would recommend you retake if you're set on the T20s.

I'm gonna make a general statement: If you're a URM and you have a 3.5+ GPA and a 160 plus you should broadly apply to the T20. You're likely to get into at least one. Unless you want to go into a regional market or get money, skip on CU Boulder and SMU. You'll get into at least one of the top schools you listed, I'd bet my hat on it. But the problem is you won't get any money.

Even as an MA and not an AA? And would this be a good strategy: apply to low t14/t20s/safety schools with my current score, see if I get in or not, retake in January and shoot for higher T14s assuming I do better

It actually looks like the chances look better for AAs than MAs, granted there are less results for AAs so that can skew things.
Also, I ~think~ if you sign up for the Jan LSAT the schools you apply to are made aware and will hold your application until the latest score is available. So I would check that.
