GPA Variance

How much do law schools take into account GPA variation in schools?
I'm a biochemistry major @ USC and my GPA is around 3.2... well below average for most of the law schools I am considering. I feel this is a pretty decent GPA for my major since everything is curved. Outside of the heavy sciences (writing, etc) I have closer to a 4.0.
How do schools take this variation into account? Are law schools really aware of how much more difficult a B.S. is from a B.A.?
...Obviously LSAT scores will play a role, but is there any other way law schools standardize students undergrad GPA?
