Is it worth my time?

I have a ~3.63 from Columbia University undergrad with a double-major in Econ-Math and History and a double-minor in Religion and Philosophy. I have also been working ~15-20 hours a week since my freshman year of college (New York Center for Psychotherapy). I have a 177 LSAT score and am looking to apply at the top law schools. I still have 3 more semesters to pull that 3.63 up (i’m finished with my hard econ-math classes and tend to do MUCH better in religion/philosophy/history). How does it look for me?

I am considering taking a year off since Columbia undergrad is so cut-throat and I want a break from it before diving back in. Is this a good idea?
