What do y'all think my chances are?

Enjoy Cumberland School of Law.

edit: but seriously, do better on the LSAT. A kitten dies every time someone with that high of a GPA doesn't go to a decent school.

Please, please retake the LSAT. You can go anywhere with that GPA. Take some time to really study for the test and you will have some killer options. It's a very learnable test.

if your real name is scooter i'd say you're a lock

You'll probably get in.. But if you retake, you could get a large scholarship.

I laughed out loud

OP- retake, no question. You have better than an A average, gotta get an lsat to match.

Coming from a guy who goes to Arkansas thats funny. I would have a full ride to Cumberland or Arkansas with my stats so I will pass. Thanks everyone else though for the advice. I only want to go to a Southern School so my tops are UNC, BAMA, UGA, Tulane, SMU, LSU, and maybe UF.

Vandy, Duke, and UVA could be on that list with a better LSAT...

Duke/UVa, or Texas/Vandy/Emory.

If you've got a 4.1 GPA, you're smart enough to get over a 170 and go to Duke/UVA on a full ride.

You should also be smart enough to understand the HUGE upside of taking the time to get that score.

You're wasting a ton of potential by applying with a 159. You'll regret it, I guarantee it.

You really shouldn't puff your chest out with a 159 LSAT.

Go retake the LSAT. You have an outstanding GPA and a poor LSAT. If you're serious about your career, put in the effort to fix it. Don't negate four years of work in undergrad by refusing to retake a four hour test.

Not to mention, I'm pretty sure he goes to Vandy not Arkansas..

Yeah I wouldn't go to Arkansas either.

But seriously, retake and go to a better school. First you should probably decide where you want to practice though. UF and Bama do not have the same target markets.
