Looks good. Where you live is not important to you I'm guessing? From that list, you could end up damn near anywhere on mainland United States.

Haha, actually I care a lot about where I end up. Most of those safeties are just fee waivers, and hopefully I can use Chicago to negotiate some $$$. Unless I have a great opportunity elsewhere (NYU, Columbia, Harvard), I'd like to be in CA. I'd rather go to UCLA with $$ than Chicago, Michigan, Duke, UVA, etc.

haha, well we'll be competing for spots at Berkeley and Stanford. Applying there too ... Your LSAT score should give you the edge on me, though I like to think my GPA will help for Berkeley.

It's been said to me on this site that USC gives out alot of money to people with numbers like yours. But then you have to live in a crummy neighborhood.

Out: HYS
WL (YP): Michigan, Virginia
50/50: Berkeley
In: Columbia, Chicago, NYU, Duke, Georgetown, UCLA, Vandy
