Low GPA, ~okay~ LSAT.. what are my chances? :/

Hey guys! Hope you guys are having a great week :-) It's so awesome seeing all the admission posts and I've been on reddit/here now for about 2 hrs just reading through them all and feeling super motivated!

I have a pretty low UG GPA and I plan on writing an addendum for this (family illness/work). I recently took my first LSAT and scored a 159. My goal for the September exam is to hit a 165+ which I know I can do if I put in the time.

So question is- what are my chances at UGA/Emory/GA STATE? And I'm also interested in UC IRVINE/DAVIS as well. At times I feel pretty motivated and know I'll eventually end up at the school I'm meant to be at if I put in 110% effort. But then again... at times I feel super discouraged bc of my gpa.

    LSATcantwin is a hard-splitter, like you may be someday. He probably has more insight into this than I do.

    For Emory I think you'll have a decent chance with 165+, especially with a good GPA addendum. (I'm a *bit of a splitter and got a very generous scholarship from them with a 166)).
