I think your chances are 50/50. I believe their medians are a point or two above yours, but you're close. Military experience will likely put you over the top unless Ole Miss happens to get a glut of applications next year or had an unusually large yield rate the year before or something. Are you from Mississippi?

negative. however, I will be able to gain residency because of my active duty status.

Below both medians is normally out. But being active duty military might help. A little. If you're from MS your chances go up. Retake the LSAT if you can.

But I'm right between the Median and 25%...someone has to be in that area right?
Also, retaking the LSAT is out. I'm deployed right now so both the Oct and Dec LSATs are out for me.

URMs and splitters, unfortunately.
It's not a waste to apply, but I wouldn't go unless you can get residency. If you get in, your numbers are probably too low to snag you money. It's not worth going to for anywhere close to sticker.
