Hello,
I've been out of school for two years (working full-time), and am considering part-time at Fordham, Brooklyn and NYLS. I have a 3.95 undergrad, 3.85 grad (M.A.), and a 163. Any opinions on admission chances?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts you might have.

That high Gpa is really a help because you can help any schools medians. The grad degree is a soft factor and the gpa is not important. Most grad degrees have inflated gpas. But your ug gpa is stellar and that is what you will be evaluated on. You have a chance at T14 only with an ED to UVa which is possible but long shot. Check out law school numbers. You should have solid chances at BC BU Fordham etc. Though probably not with much money, but perhaps not sure.
Obligatory note: If you think can do better, a 168 or 169 lsat would get you in at most lower t14s. At 170 or 171 would get you NYU and huge scholarships at mvp. If you didn't do every PT you could, work through the Powerscore bibles or something, and try as hard as you could (ie dedicated a few months to studying), then retaking is TCR.
