Here I go (I know this has been beaten to death)
UVA, 3.42
I know the OCI benefits are likely marginal.
Mostly, I just really want to live in a big city, but would only go through the hassle for a better school
If it were just an app I wouldn't think twice about it, but the thought of getting two profs to sign off of it is what's putting me on the fence, b/c I don't want to waste that capital

Why not just wait until after LS or until 2L SA to live in NYC?

Out of curiosity, did you end up applying? Looking at the CLS thread, most people accepted seem to be in the top 10-15% of their school (some of whom are from T14 schools), but I think you would have had a decent shot.
