Top Law Schools

As I'm making my final decisions on where to go, I'm interested in getting your take. I'm waitlisted at Univ. of Richmond, which is my absolute first choice. Provided I don't make it off the UR waitlist, I'm debating between Albany and Syracuse. I used to live in Albany and am familiar with many in state government, which perhaps could give me a leg up. I feel, however, Syracuse has a stronger program and a better reputation. What do you think?

The only other school I'm looking at is Elon because it's close to where I live now (Charlotte), but I don't think it's a contender anymore.

Thanks, in advance, for your insight and advice!

Definitely Syracuse - reputation rising rapidly in real world (rankings irrelevant) - actually had an 8% increase in apps this year when nationally and in NY apps were down over 13%!
