Hey all, the 161 was my December LSAT, and I'd really prefer not to wait another year, if possible. I'm hoping that my UGPA of 3.87 helps offset that. Preparing applications to: ED to Georgetown, otherwise Fordham, GW, BU, BC, Northeastern, and Northwestern. Thoughts? Not URM.

No chance at Georgetown (and you shouldn't ED even after retaking for a better score). No chance at Northwestern. Decent chances at admission everywhere else, but you're unlikely to get much in the way of scholarships everywhere that isn't Northeastern.
So unless your goal is to have a middling chance at being a lawyer in a small firm or local government in Massachusetts, you need to retake. Law school isn't going anywhere, and you can't rush this decision.
