If someone takes the LSAT twice and scores a 140 on the first try and a 180 on the second try, there is no way that NYU will view it as a 160. They'll offer that applicant an apartment in the West Village to come to their school.
A 166 is far from a "weak score." You can get into many respectable law schools with that score (some even with $$). For example, My friend, who also earned a 166 was admitted into Emory (19th) with a $60k scholarship.
