I want to get into the best school possible and receive as much scholarship $$$ as possible. My goal is BigLaw after graduating. Am I completely delusional? Are these goals attainable? Should I switch life tracks completely?

Stay encouraged and focus on the test! Also, pour into the personal statement because that will stand out on the application too. Praying for the best!
Luckily for you, law schools seem to weight LSAT score more than GPA, meaning that, if you’re able to manage a high LSAT score, you might be able to compensate for your low GPA.
Getting into a prestigious law school (one that opens doors to big law) will be very difficult with a 2.9 GPA, but it’s certainly not unheard of and is very possible with an exceptional LSAT.
I have a 3.0 and totally feel ya. T14 seems about impossible but top 30-40 some of which have about a third of their classes going into big law is definitely possible with 170+.
