3.3 gpa, 165 LSAT, URM. Where should I apply?

3.3 gpa
165 LSAT

I have a very strong upward grade trend (all C’s for 2.5 years to all A’s the rest of the way through college after I realized that I wanted to go to law school) and I was scoring in the 170s during lsat practice but don’t want to take the test again. I graduated from UT Austin.

I am half Mexican, had an internship for most of college, volunteered after graduation, and currently have a full time job as a legal assistant.

Does anyone have any insight as to where I should apply ED and RD? I obviously want to go to the highest ranked school while accumulating the least amount of debt but I every forum of probability calculator gives me different answers as to what I should expect when applying. 7sage calculator says that I would have a higher than a 50% chance of getting in to some lower T14 schools but some forums say that I should be hopeful for lower T30.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I would blanket the T-14 and then apply to top regional schools in areas in which you want to work.
