Top Law Schools

Recently got all grades back - probably hovering right around top 20% (after 1st semester, top 25% for 1L class was a 3.62). Few years w/e at biglaw before school. I'm assuming I have a decent shot at a big firm somewhere in Houston or Dallas? Any idea on DC/NY/Boston chances (I have some form of ties to each city)? Any general advice for bidding? Thanks.

You'll be fine - honest. Bid all the name brands highly to make sure you get in front of them. Someone will def. scoop you up.
