Every single school in the country weighs the LSAT more heavily than GPA, so clearly they are not more interested in teaching a dumb kid who puts in %110. With a 2.8 and a 177, you should have a very good shot (<50%) everywhere except HYS and Boalt. Chicago is extrememly LSAT heavy and you have a great shot there. I do not mean to offend some of the previous posters, but someone with a 2.9 and a 168 is not in the same boat as you. You have very good admisions prospects. HTH |

There are a few schools that are UGPA heavy in relation to other schools. UNC comes to mind.
Below is data from LSAC's LSAT/GPA calculator re: your likelihood of admission based solely on LSAT and GPA. Rank is from US News and admit likelihood percents are at 95% confidence intervals.

Meat is dead-on about the difference between a 2.8/177 and a 2.9/168. There aren't all that many 177s out there, so only the most selective or UGPA heavy are likely to pass you up.
