Shoot to get the best LSAT score you possibly can. Why would you do anything else?

Berkeley and UCLA are prty much out with that GPA. Get the highest GPA you possibly can, then come back. But given your GPA you might want to target UVA and NU with a high LSAT score since those are the splitter friendly schools.
