Advice on my list of schools Forum

[bostonlawchick]

I'm just looking for some input on the list of schools I'm applying to.

171, 3.29 (retaking in October and will have 18 more credits of b+ or better grades in December)
No softs to speak of, I work pretty much full time in retail to pay for school.

Right now I'm applying to

BC
BU
NYU (only if I kill the LSAT in Oct)
Michigan
UVA
Gtown
Cornell
WUSTL

I don't want to go any further west than WUSTL, my fiance wants to stay close to family.

Am I aiming too high? Any other schools I should consider?

I'd actually apply to a few more reaches. I think you're in at BC, BU and WUSTL for sure.

Add GW since it seems you're looking to stay close to the East Coast.

Seems like a good list. I'm 170/3.4 and this is pretty much what mine looks like (plus a few west coast schools). If you'd consider Vandy, I think they'd also be worth an app.

Thanks guys, I'll definitely take a look at GW and Vandy. I might also consider Duke and Penn.

IMHO, add those 4 and you've got a very solid list. Best of luck to you.

Duke is not splitter friendly at all, but an ED to Penn might get them to bite.
