Conflicted on submitting my apps…

Hi everyone, I’m a bit conflicted on submitting my applications since getting my November LSAT score. I can really only stay in North Texas for school but I feel like I may have better chances out of state. My two top schools would be SMU and TAMU but my stats fall under both of their medians. I’ve decided I could stay at my current job and earn salary for a while and apply next cycle (after retaking and applying ED) but thought I would get some input from some more people.

My Stats are: LSAT: 157 GPA:3.48

Softs: URM (Mexican/Indigenous)

1-2 years Work Experience in International Business development for a foreign government.

Participation in a few student orgs in my undergrad.
