I'm a double major in finance and sport management from a T50 undergrad, looking ultimately to work as an agent or some other legal capacity in sports. My best soft is that I work daily for an NCAA championship basketball coach, who will give me a LOR. Also, one of our assistant coaches used to work at UVA.
What are my chances and money offered at:
UVA:
Duke:
Georgetown:
Vandy:
Texas:
Emory:
UNC:
UGA:
Bama:
UF:

Are there any places where EDing would help me considerably? Is this a good target range? Should I consider a retake to really balance my lsat with my strong gpa? Thanks in advance

I just wanted to say that an ED at UVA would help alot and most likely get you in

I'm kind of adverse to Cali since my parents are paying for my law school, and Cali is a significant distance from home. I had not even thought about Boalt. Would my GPA really be enough to put me in consideration, despite a low LSAT by their standards?

You got a shot.

any predictions on money from some of the lower ranked schools on my list?

I want to know if my useless sports knowledge was able to peg your undergrad correctly? University of Florida w/ Coaches Billy Donovan and Rob Lanier.

As someone with VERY similar numbers, I'd say apply ED to UVA since you sound like you're not a big fan of CA. You definitely have a shot at Boalt as long as you apply early (before mid-November) and make your personal statement great.

The other option: retake. If you want more options in the top 10, I would increase your score by 3 or more points.

Yes you managed to guess my undergrad. That's some serious sports knowledge right there ha.

UGA-Tuition Equilization and $4000 stipend
UNC- It's a toss since you're out of state, but most likely in w/o any $$
Duke- Waitlist, out
Georgetown- most likely out
Emory- Waitlist, In
UVA- In if you ED, w/o $$$

I had very similar numbers and this is based off my cycle
