You do not mention whether you have taken the LSAT. If you have, I suspect you can still slip into some of the less competitive admission schools. If not, your choices should be limited indeed.
A couple of law schools--John Marshall in Chicago comes to mind--offer January admissions.
I think it's great not to want to waste a year, but I also think you could spend that year doing things that might make you an interesting hire. Take a year of science courses, and get a start on qualifying to take the patent bar. Take the Microsoft software engineer designation courses and
get a leg up on computer law. Get a job in business and get a little experience in that surreal place that passes for a "real world".
Then focus on getting admitted to the school you really want to attend.
Good fortune!

I wrote the initial message in this topic. Just a general question- What kind of opportunities exist at a large law firm (Winston & Strawn for example) for somebody with only an undergrad degree and an interest in the law? Other than being an office boy (or girl, for the pc folks), are there roles (in general, of course) that would allow me to make around
$30-35K (in Chicago)?
