I just got my June 2010 score back, and got significantly higher than I expected. I have a 3.85 GPA at a small private college in NYC and 177 LSAT, what are my chances for a full ride at a top-15 school?

Since you'll be applying in September you'll probably get full rides for at least a few of 7-14, and you'll be looking at half rides or possibly a lucky full ride from a T6. In at Harvard of course.

I think you have a good shot at a Hamilton from Columbia and full ride from NYU. I have similar numbers (higher LSAT) and got full rides from both schools.

you'll probably get in at Harvard
half to full scholarship at Columbia
full ride to NYU (I got one of the named scholarships with similar #'s)
maximum scholarship at chicago (90k I think?)
full ride to UVA if you avoid YP
full ride to Penn if you avoid YP
just don't do anything stupid on your application (i.e. don't do a risky PS)

Re: 177/3.85
We are basically numbers twins. From all the research I've done, we have decent shots at full rides from any school that gives them. Harvard is close to a lock, especially if you have a conventional major and no red flags, though it sounds like you're looking for scholarships.
Let's hope our numbers do well next cycle!
