I went to a top 30 liberal arts undergraduate college. Throughout college, I had an undiagnosed learning disability, so my GPA is a 3.42, which I wrote an addendum for. I was really, really hoping to do well on the LSAT to make up for it. Since August, I have been scoring consistently between 173-178 (w/out blind review). I took the June LSAT, cancelled. Took the September and December and just bombed on both days, getting a 167 and 169 respectively. I am also an URM. I applied to almost all my schools before Christmas, but during the holiday break, and have another three to submit. All of the schools I have applied to are in the top 30, the majority in the T14.
Should I wait to apply again next cycle? I was already planning on taking the June LSAT to see if I could negotiate scholarship money, but am wondering if I should just put it off another year. I am especially worried with the passing of the new PROSPER act in putting if off another year since I want to pursue public interest. Thank you in advance for any advice!

I wouldn't stress too much. Your GPA is low but it isn't horrendous. Your LSAT score is decent for a handful of the T14 schools. Not sure how much the boost for URM varies among different URM groups, but that could play a big role for you (https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/do-underrepresented-minority-urm-applicants-have-a-law-school-admissions-advantage). Look at the LSN plots for some of the schools you applied to.
I hope that's the case! I feel that I'm in a bit of a weird position in regards to URM as well. I am an immigrant from Iran, but according to race/ethnicity forms, I am white/Caucasian. I very much do not agree with that classification, but was wondering if it mitigates or altogether diminishes any URM advantage I may have.
