Like I said, my GPA was slightly higher than yours, and I got a 176 on the LSAT. I also have two MAs, though this might have hurt more than it helped. Each candidate is unique, of course, and I certainly don't mean to discourage you from applying to top 10 schools. But you should also apply to some schools in the top 25 or 30. Although I'm very happy here at WashU, I wish I had applied to more schools in between Cornell and Wash U. It probably would have given me more choices. And bear in mind that going to a school ranked lower means that you'll get more money in scholarships and that you'll probably be ranked higher in the class. Whether you want to do that depends somewhat on what you hope to do when you're done.
