Just graduated 68W AIT, and I will be heading to airborne school in about 3 weeks. What are the chances of getting 173rd or the 82nd?

Chances are that you will end up in the 82d. But if you take the initiative and call branch ASAP, you might a ticket to the 173rd. Just be mentally prepared, serving in an elite unit like the 82d or 173rd is demanding.

They are fairly good there is also 4-25 in Alaska. No way to know for sure but odds are good you will be in an Airborne unit.

I would imagine that you already have a unit assignment. When you go through AIT out processing ask the S1 for clarification of duty assignment. You might already have orders or an assignment by branch that is just waiting for Airborne completion.
