From peeking around on lawschoolnumbers.com, a guy with your exact numbers got $72,000 from Vanderbilt: http://lawschoolnumbers.com/ciq.

This guy with your numbers got $60,000 at Duke:

So it looks like you're in a pretty good place. You are very likely accepted at all the schools on your list, and if you apply early (which is very key, the earlier you apply the more scholarship money that is available), you are looking at scholarship money from most if not all the schools on your list, with the ones in question being Duke and Virginia. Everywhere else I certainly see you getting a good chunk of change, provided you apply nice and early.

Unless you are deathly allergic to debt, Duke and Vanderbilt should be the only schools you apply to on that list.

Don't forget Virginia.

I always seem to overlook UVA. Yes, nonetheless.

actually my soon to be father-in-law is deathly allergic to debt.... you should try convincing him....

LSN doesn't have many scores in my range for the state schools (mainly UGA, and UT, and Bama)

I was more wondering if you guys had any idea whether or not I'd likely get a full ride offer from any these? (I'm a Tennessee resident)

For the first four, at least, I doubt it. That GPA knocks you down a bit.

Since you're in Nashville/TN I'm guessing he listens to Dave Ramsey. Seriously, Dave is a great dude. But if taking on reasonable debt is really the best thing for your career, you should do it. I'm not saying that it will be the best thing, but it might be. Depends on what offers you end up getting. I can't offer any insight on your question about full ride chances.
