Top Law Schools

I am an AA male with 3.45 gpa and a 162 Lsat. I am originally from New Orleans,La;I served four in the United States Marine Corps. I have also worked in Loyola Law Clinic New Orleans. I have a strong desire to work preferably in either Atlanta or California. I will be using my post 9/11 G.I. bill to cover some of the cost. What are my chances of getting into these schools with or w/o money?

USC
Pepperdine
Loyola Marymount
Emory(GA)
Georgia State
Tulane
LSU
Loyola New Orleans

Can anyone give some insight?

Shoot higher bro, you're golden. Don't listen to anything less

In with money to all of them. You'll also get a t-14. 160 and AA is better than 170 and white. Congrats.

Except for USC under a full ride to any of those is a waste.

Which T14 school should I shoot for?

You should do well. Consider retaking as it could open even more doors.

S/F

You are in with a lot of money at a bunch of those schools. It is tough to say with a place like Emory, they don't seem to give as big on a URM boost as other places. A couple of things

• You should aim higher. AA male is gives the bigest URM boost. AA males with your numbers have gotten into T14 schools.
• You should think about studying more and retaking the LSAT. Even a few point boost could really help.

As an example, take a look at this guy: http://lawschoolnumbers.com/agk517. Same numbers as you, got into NYU and Cornell.

Good luck!

I am definitely going to keep researching these schools. Hopefully, I can get some fee waivers.
