Sorry if this a bit off topic because I don't know much to nothing about UT but assuming you applied recently, there's always next cycle and it may be worth EDing to MVP if you're down.

I applied almost immediately after receiving my Dec 2011 LSAT scores on the 6th of January. I have my heart set on practicing in Texas, Austin specifically.

Have you checked lawschoolnumbers? If you were a Texas resident, you would have had a decent chance of getting in. You are very likely to get waitlisted or rejected. Your numbers make the bottom t14 a possibility. You can go to one of them and bid on Texas firms come OCI. (Not so sure why you're so hung up on UT Austin when you're not even a resident...)

UT has been a real crap-shoot this year

I have no idea what your chances are. While it seems like they have a hard gpa floor of 3.3, it also looks like they have a soft floor of about 3.5, based on LSN graphs. They also seem a bit more random than their peer schools.

I got in with 3.5x/171, so who knows.

Chances are low as they have a 3.5 GPA floor, especially for out-of-state. This chart might be helpful to you: http://top-law-schools.com/forums/viewt ... 2&t=162680

Duke will be tough with his GPA, they have a 3.5ish GPA floor
