Do you care at all where you end up living?

I probably should have said something about that, because I knew this question was coming. As long as its not Northeast Ohio, then I don't care. I should probably take Case off of my list.

Well, I was going to say that Case was definitely possible (I got in with a lower LSAT).
Have no clue about the other schools. I'd send them all out, you are bound to get in somewhere.

You are applying fairly late in the cycle, so I predict the below results for you in consideration that there aren't many African-American males with your LSAT score, and the fact that you have decent softs. However, for what it's worth, I believe waiting until next cycle might afford you the opportunity to break the Top 14 (especially Cornell/Georgetown) if you apply early (September-October) and put together a solid application.

Thanks HopefulEsquire, I appreciate the insight you can give me. I expected a 160+ during the Oct. exam, however I didn't do as well which set back my apps until now. I sent all of those out, along with a Columbia app, Vandy, and BU because they all gave me waivers yesterday morning. Which I found kind of weird, being that they sent them out this late.
