I have mediocre softs (Nothing special, but I was active throuought college and have worked at law firms the last 2 summers).

I was wondering where I stand for T-14/ just outside (Vandirbilt, GW, Boston, UCLA etc.)

FWIW I did get substantially better as my college career progressed (4.0 in 2/3 semesters)

I think you have a good chance at the lower t14 and pretty much everything thereafter as long as you apply early, have a decent PS and solid LORs.

Northwestern will be tough b/c they like substantial work experience after school and GTown is an LSAT whore.

Duke is a possibility (depends partly on where the GPA/LSAT medians end up) and UVA is possible ED (unlikely otherwise).

Have you considered re-taking? 170+ would put you comfortably in the MPVD wheelhouse I would think.

I was considering retaking (though the thought is not exactly appealing) but if one point is going to make a huge difference, then I definitely will.

I would like to be in the MVPD areas or rather get alot of scholarship from the lower schools.

It will. Check out the medians at MPVD for LSAT. Then make hitting that # or beating it your target. (read: 171+ would be your goal).
