Scholarships and Retake Suggestions

Hi. My "dream" target schools are UT Austin and Northwestern. I have a 171 LSAT (75% for both) and 3.76 GPA (at or below the medians). Would you anticipate chances of admission (and especially scholarship availability) would be substantially different if I could tack 1-3 points on that score given it's already in the top 25% range?
I have taken the test 3 times. Would a lower score 4th attempt be a bad look? Having a hard time deciding whether to retake.

I'm in almost the same position - slightly lower GPA (3.73, below most 50% percentiles where I'm looking) with a 171 June LSAT. Debating retaking in August (which would be my third time).
http://northwestern.lawschoolnumbers.com/applicants?order=desc&sort=scholarship might give you an idea ... but remember, we're in a weird numbers time.

Take note of high LSAT scores (with not-crap GPAs), who seem to also be applying to the 30+ ranked schools.
