If you underperformed your stats, play the waitlist game!!! You can differentiate yourself from other applicants by doing as much as possible during the pre-1L summer. Get an internship in an unrelated field, get a job, volunteer, just do something.

As you can see, I received zero T20 acceptances and was waitlisted everywhere. A month before orientations were due to start, I was pulled off the waitlist for two T20 schools on the same day. Exactly 1 week later, I was offered admission to a T14. Also, keep in mind that schools do continue pulling off the waitlist after classes start, but they don’t give scholarships.
