when did you apply?
I take it you're trying to go to LS in California. That sounds like a solid offer but if you don't mind missing out on a year of income then sure but it also depends on how bad you want to go to your choices of schools. Not sure if you're considering USC or UCLA but if you can get up into the 170's you would have a solid shot at getting into there next cycle. I am not too knowledgeable of the other schools you mentioned either but I guess this all comes down to money and/or personal preference.
If money is a very important factor to you though then i'm not sure if I would pass that up. While Southwestern may not be a very prestigious school, that does not mean you can't have a successful career as a SW grad. Marvin Micthelson - one of the most powerful Hollywood divorce attorneys of the 20th century was a southwest grad.
Also consider what practice area interests you most as some schools have a better reputation in some areas than others.
That 200k offer is not something you should pass up without thorough consideration, but do what you think is best for you.
