Letter in the mail. Good luck! Have you thought about retaking the LSAT and waiting a year to make your apps more competitive?

Yeah, you should definitely try and retake. As a URM, just bumping your score up 10 points will probably land you a couple acceptances from T14s. There's no need for a class in my opinion, I studied on my own with the 3 Manhattan LSAT books ($70 for the lot) and the 30 latest real LSAT tests ($8 each- you can find used/scanned ones for cheaper). I upped my score from 163 diagnostic to 177 by spending 3 months working through all of them.
