As the title says, I have a 3.3 gpa and scored a 169 on the LSAT (taken December 2014). I have been in the workforce for 4 and a half years: two at a fairly impressive federal govt job, one consulting for NGOs, and am currently a Peace Corps volunteer. Recommendations from a professor and high profile govt official (for whom I worked directly). So not out of this world softs, but I'd say above average.

I know my gpa is a problem, but I'm wondering how much of one. School list is: Duke, Michigan, Georgetown, Cornell, UT Austin, UCLA, WashU in St Louis, GWU and American. Thoughts?

You should add NU. They traditionally like splitters. For that matter I would also add UVA.

I also wouldn't bother with American or GWU at all...

Apply to all the top 14. You might get lucky. But consider retaking.

Agree about not bothering with American or GW.
