University of Texas would be a good one.

You should apply to all the lower T14. And I'm assuming from your list you're from the southeast and want to stay there. In that case, definitely don't go to Arizona. It's regional. Ignore overall rankings outside of the T14, maybe T20 schools; they are meaningless.

I'd throw Vanderbilt on that list too... even though your acceptance would lower my chances even further...sigh

And Emory if you can get money.

American
Arizona
GWU

Georgetown
UNC
Notre Dame
Alabama
Kentucky
Richmond
UVA
Washington & Lee
William & Mary
Georgia

Should I be applying to more T-14, top 25 schools? My real targets are UVA, Georgetown, Notre Dame and GWU obviously. Others like Kentucky, Arizona, and Alabama I have identified as good bang-for-the-buck schools.

Where are you from? Where do you want to practice? Where do you have ties? That should determine where you apply. Is that 168 the best you could do? If not I would advise a retake.

As for your original question, add WUSTL.

Where do you want to work?

You have a shot at Duke, Michigan, and Georgetown and a good shot at Cornell.

Also, UCLA/Vanderbilt/USC/Texas if you want to work in those regions.

Thanks for the tips. This is my third take so I'm not going to improve on 168. I've applied to Texas and BC and I'm looking at the others that were named. Region doesn't matter too much.

Also going to apply to Cornell, Vanderbilt, and Duke. Thanks.

If you don't have any connections to states like Arizona or Alabama (dunno if you do or not) you probably shouldn't go to those schools.

I agree with the others, I think the best app strategy is 1) strong regional schools in the state where you live (assuming you're not dying to leave) and 2) lower T14 like Cornell, Duke and maybe GULC.

If you're not from Kentucky, you're going to have trouble getting a job there even if you go to UK, and if you go to UK it's going to be nearly impossible to get a job outside of Kentucky. Your app strategy should aimed at maximizing your ultimate employment prospects, not getting into the highest ranked school you can.
