Top Law Schools

My list of schools includes:

Temple
Rutgers-Camden
Rutgers-Newark
Villanova
UConn
Syracuse

Non-URM
Average Softs

Obviously, I prefer the northeast (Am actually a NC resident, so I'm planning on paying out of state tuition regardless). Does this list seem compatible with my specs & should I add one or two safety schools just to be on the safe side?

Dude/lady...all of those are safety schools. Aim higher!

I guess I'm kind of a pessimist & at $70 a pop, I'm not wanting to apply to too many "reach" schools where my chances are slim to none? Any suggestions on where I should be aiming?

Would Notre Dame & Boston College be worth the time/effort?

Try Fordham/Emory/around about there. BU might be interested too. BC, not so sure--I had a slightly higher LSAT and slightly lower GPA than you, and BC denied me.

You are in at all of the listed schools with $$. Definitely aim for some higher schools. That said, I doubt that you'll get BU, BC, or Fordham. You'd likely need a 167 for those schools.

look at http://www.lawschoolpredictor.com/ to get a better idea of where you should apply. i definitely say apply to better schools though. tons of schools took a dip in their medians last year, so it could be a better cycle for you guys this year.
