You're doing it wrong. The key is to go to a cheap, mediocre undergrad and then to a reputable law school. No one cares where a lawyer went to undergrad.

And yes, just because you went to Princeton for undergrad doesn't mean you get to go to a good law school.

Elite law schools have lots of rich kids. Going to a TTT isn't a bad financial decision if you have a trust fund and your parents pay the bills.
If you parents have 200K to burn, TTT is a pretty poor option. Buying you a condo would be a lot better.
