I want to apply to only my two dream law schools this Fall. If I get accepted, I will ask for a one year deferral. If I just make it to the waiting list and then get accepted, can I get a deferral in this case?

If I'm not accepted by these two schools, I will do LSATs in September of 2015 for the second time. I will then apply to basically all T14 law schools. In this case, I will have applied twice to my two dream schools. Does this increase my chances of getting accepted? A scholarship is not really important to me. Do my plans make sense?

Thank you in advance for any comments or suggestions.
I am not sure about all schools, but I know that Yale does not allow you to ask for a deferral if you are waitlisted. Mind if I ask what your rationale is for the gap year? Not that this is a bad idea, it just seems like you already have a plan in mind and I'm curious.

no, applying twice will not help you get in
why apply to only two schools? which schools?
and why apply this coming cycle if you're going to ask for a deferral

if i were you, i'd just focus on studying
since you will do LSATs this September
