Top Law Schools

I was wondering what my chances are for:
University of Missouri (MU)
University of Kansas (KU)
University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC)

As well as if anyone had any other schools that you feel I should look into based on my scores.
I did take the LSAT 3 times, scoring 148, 147, 157 respectively. My father had passed away the spring before my tests, so I tried to rush and took the December '09, followed by the February '10, with about a month of total study time between the two. I plan to write an Addendum if it would help in the situation. If anyone feels I should just let my higher score speak for itself, please let me know.

Just putting this up front to see if I can get some feedback.

Anything would help. I know, retake or don't go. But, t14 schools are not something I can make it to, and UMKC is right in my backyard. The others are close enough to go to, so a good internship will help with my job prospects. Just wanting any feedback from anyone who may know a little more than me on any of these schools.

You won't get an internship that will help with your job prospects, hth.

Well, my mother-in-law is a Circuit Court judge in Jackson County. So, she knows a lot of people in the area as far as the legal field goes. UMKC averages LSAT scores from what I have read, or at least considers them all, so I am afraid that that will ruin my chances there. I guess that is what I meant by a good internship, just knowing people to help me find a job.

WL at U of Missouri
In at UMKC
In at Kansas

Since the only reasonable chance you have at getting a job is family connections, does it really matter where you go? Why not just take a scholarship at Cooley or something.

I'll take my chances at UMKC or KU. Thanks for the advice.

Thank you. That is all I wanted to hear from anyone as far as comments go.

If you don't want all the comments and musings people have to offer, don't post on the internet.

In at Harvard, WL at Yale. Lucky bastard.

I'm not overly concerned. I don't mind hearing what people have to say, I just wanted to know my chances. They gave me my chances, so I thanked them.
