Waaay too big of a gap between reaches and safeties. Add some targets. Looks like from your schools you are looking at being in DC or else going someplace that has an environmental lean to it. I don't really think you have a shot at Gtown, maybe a slight shot at GWU and Cal.

If I were you I would just ED at NW and hope they love my GPA and work experience. Be prepared to pay sticker though.

I think you have far more than a "slight" shot at GW. I think you're in at GW and out at GULC, probably WL and out at Boalt. If you want DC, you might want to consider William and Mary, they'll probably give you some money too.

He would get money at W&M. W&L is another solid option. IUB would probably offer a full ride. GPA gives him a shot at UVA and NW if he ED's too.

ED at UVA.

L&C and VT for environmental law? whats the general consensus on attending VT- NEED to do enviro law, without question?

May I suggest a few targets:

UC Davis
Colorado
University of Washington

Thanks for all the replies and advice guys. If anything, its helped me shift around some places at which I am looking. I think I might go for the option of ED to UVA, and I might add a couple of the targets the most recent poster pointed out. It is immensely helpful to hear some varied opinions.
