What schools am I looking at with the following? Any helpful suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.


Stats

UG GPA- 3.5
LSAT- 170

Letters of Rec

1. Supreme Court Judge
2. Supreme Court Judge
3. Reputable Attorney

Better get a third Rec. from the Supreme Court. Less than three means No t13.

Do you have a geographic location in mind, or would you go to school anywhere?

Also, how well do your LOR providers know you? You'll want LOR from professors unless you've been out of school for a while.

Thanks Killingly. Excuse me if this is a dumb question, but are you saying a LOR from a professor would be better than one from a reputable attorney? Why? For the record, all of my LOR providers know me very well.

Yes, getting at least one LOR from a professor would be better. Why would you NOT have one from a professor? I think most schools even require it unless you've been out of school for years.
