Will my lower GPA hold me back?

I need some honest opinions. I have a 3.1 GPA, applied in late Feb., URM, worked all 4 years of undergrad, a couple years of WE, and a 154 LSAT. I was accepted to one school this cycle (T150s), waitlisted at two others, and rejected from 10 other schools.

I’m debating accepting my offer or R&R. Is it reasonable to think I’d get my acceptances/scholarship if I got a couple point bump in LSAT (say 158-160) and applied in September? Looking at data, I’m starting to think my outcome would be the same next cycle due to my low GPA.

Any thoughts?

Thoughts on UIC Law? R&R?

My only current A is from UIC Law. I was offered a conditional scholarship however, the COA is still pretty high. I’m looking for anyone’s advice/ experience they have had with UIC Law.

I would like to start this year, however I want to make the most logical choice. Should I R&R?

For context: 3.2 GPA, 15mid, 3 years WE, URM, worked part time throughout all four years and was an NCAA D2 Athlete. I took LSAT twice (second one Feb 2026) and applied to all schools first week of March.
