Hi there! I'm looking to opt-out of the October LSAT (which I'm currently registered for) and get a coupon for the November LSAT instead. I've been navigating through the LSAC website to figure out how to do this, but to no avail! Does anyone know how to make this switch?

Hi everyone! I'm just looking for some advice/feedback.
I started my law school journey a little later than most of you, and wrote my first LSAT this past August with hopes of attending law school in the fall of 2021. I originally planned on only applying to Canadian schools, as I am a Canadian citizen, but I've extended my interests and plan to apply to some T14 schools. Harvard, Columbia, NYU, UC-Berkeley, Cornell, and Duke are some I've been exploring but have yet to apply to. I scored a 167 on my first LSAT but I expected to break into the 170s, so I registered for the November LSAT. However, I then had to switch to January's exam due to personal reasons.
So, my dilemma is: should I apply to these top schools now (even though my LSAT score is below medians for most) or should I wait until receiving my January LSAT score and apply in February? February is cutting it close, and my chances of admission may decrease, but I believe I can score well into the 170s. I have a pretty high GPA (a 4.25) and know that my personal statements/optional essays will give me a boost as well.
Any guidance and/or personal experience would be highly appreciated! :)
Thank you both for your responses! The thought of waiting until 2022 did cross my mind, and it is certainly something I am going to consider more. Taking a year away from studies before going to law school may be beneficial in more ways than one, anyways. Thanks again :)
