Chances?

You'll get into one of them, probably, but don't count too much on GW or BC. Are you a URM? What state do you live in?

Georgia.....I'm at UGA for undergrad. Not a URM

out at all of those except Georgia State and maybe Wake. they're all high quality schools. there is a large t-14 or bust vibe on these threads, and to some extent, it is t-14 or perhaps t-20 or bust. these people are mostly, at least academically speaking, very, very, very bright individuals - people in the top 2 or 3 percentiles of average intelligence.

the ones who are not here quite often go to t-30s or they are some of these best and brightest who go on a full scholarship. my point is, the 160 is not good enough even with a 3.73.

If you want a chance at most of those schools (outside of GSU), you're going to have to retake the LSAT.

You are in at Wake. This year they give scholarships to people with your numbers.

OP, I'm sitting on a 160/3.62 with some cross over in our schools of interest. While I caught a rejection from Mason and BC, I was accepted at W&M as well as GW's part time program. Non-URM, Non-Ivy UG, but significant softs including a variety of publications, presentations, internships, awards etc. Quite the unpredictable cycle. While previous posters would be correct in saying that the odds are certainly not in your favor for most of the schools you have listed, those schools will accept a tiny percentage of non-URM students with your numbers (minus GW full time). I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
