Hi folks! 1st time on here. Just took the LSAT for the second time and got a 156 (1st time was a 148), which is 4-5 points off the median score of my top schools. Cumulative LSAT GPA is a 3.45 (annoyed at their calculation since I graduated Cum Laude ugh) and have a pretty extensive resume I built during college holding various positions in national and statewide organizations. I'm currently taking MPA classes part-time as I wanted to do a MPA/JD dual track but with grad schools waiving GREs I thought I'd apply and start on the MPA.

My top law school is FSU but my LSAT would put at their 25th percentile of their 2020 class profile. However, given that I was already admitted to their MPA program, my resume, my current job working in the state legislature, and applying with binding early decision, I feel like that would be enough to get me in.

Am I being overconfident here? Is it really as black as white as having a LSAT score in the median or 75th percentile to get in? I really really REALLY don't want to take the LSAT again lol. Spent over a year, practicing every day, taking timed sections, it was so draining to even get to a 156.
