3.35 GPA/169 LSAT

Just by those stats, do I even have a chance? The only reason my GPA is so low is because I graduated with a Doctor of Pharmacy (6 years of school, for those unfamiliar with that degree). Would that give me some forgiveness for how low it is? Will me having a Doctor of Pharmacy rather than a simple bachelors help at all?

Any info would be great!

Sorry sorry sorry, the schools I'm looking at right now are: University of Texas at Austin, University of Oklahoma, Southern Methodist University, and Texas Tech University.

Look at other schools. Texas is too high. The rest are too low. Since you seem to be looking at the Southwest, I'd pick Vandy or WUSTL. If you're a Texas resident, I don't think UT is impossible.

Texas Resident: You'll get in UT-Austin
Non-Texas Resident: You'll not get into UT-Austin unless you're a URM.

Yes, I have no other degree besides a Doctor of Pharmacy. All I have outside of that is 2 years of pre-pharmacy work but that never warranted a degree, are you saying that my grades in this graduate school would not count towards the GPA that a law school sees? If so then my pre-pharmacy GPA is a 3.69.

I am a Texas resident.

My dad is a pharmacist, and makes great money. You sure you don't just want to dispense drugs for a living? Sounds like a much more secure career path to me.
