Do I have any chance in hell at a T1 like Iowa, Wisc., UGA, GMU, etc.?

I think that you have a shot at UGA. I don't know anything about Iowa. I think GMU likes really high GPA's, but it's worth a shot.  I have a friend that got in with a 158/3.8

Thanks.  I applied part-time to GMU, will that help?

As far as I know, yes.  However, you have to have a good reason for applying to the part-time program.

Thanks and Gig 'Em,

Really?  On the application, there's a box for FT, one for PT, and one for FT or PT, and it doesn't ask for a reason...do you think I screwed myself by checking the box for FT or PT?

Well, in that case, I doubt you hurt your chances.  I'm basing my assumption on how Georgetown utilizes their part-time program.  If GMU didn't ask for reasoning behind applying to part-time, then I'm sure your reasons won't be a factor.

Yeah, I've heard the same thing about Gtown PT...thanks for the info

This is a huge jump, but why not try for Boalt?  I mean, if you have any special background, are an URM, have a compelling story to tell, etc.  From what I understand, Boalt really tends to be one of those schools that actually looks beyond just the numbers and admits people who they believe will contribute qualitatively to their law school, even if they don't necessarily have the high GPA and LSAT scores.  They're taking a hit for this in the rankings, but in a way it's also pretty courageous.  There's debate and controversy over whether or not this will be a good thing for them in the long run, but right now I think it may actually benefit those with exceptionally unique backgrounds.

Well, every school I've applied to has been within reach (if only BARELY), so I guess I should apply to one not-gonna-happen school

Hey you could be pleasantly surprised!   Maybe I'm wrong, but I seem to remember someone here (RuskieGirl?) with similar stats as you and got into Boalt?
