Top Law Schools

Hello everybody,

I _think_ I qualify as a splitter?
My credentials are:

-175 LSAT
-3.23 LSDAS GPA (top 20 undergrad -- not sure if that makes any difference at all.) No extenuating circumstances, though there was an upward trend.
-not URM
-2 years out of college. Currently employed as a bilingual legal advocate at a domestic violence/sexual assault non-profit's legal services department. Very strongly interested in public interest -- specifically immigration, as well as DV/SA. Not sure all that's necessary to say here, but there you go.

Not particularly tied to one area of the country, though I have no desire to end up in the South or on the West Coast. I'm fairly open, but I guess right now my preferences include (in no particular order) Cornell, Georgetown, Minnesota, UChicago, UVA, Northwestern...and on. I guess I haven't really narrowed it down yet beyond "the best place I can get into, or somewhere decent with a financial incentive." It's still early...sort of.

I've done the whole calculator thing, but I guess I just want to hear from other people what they think, especially about scholarship possibilities.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Apply CCN down + 1-2 regionals that interest you. My guess is that you only get real money from regionals. Minnesota may give you a full ride.

I would guess there is an almost 100% certainty that Minnesota would give you a full ride.

Really? That's good to hear.

Thanks, everyone, for your responses.
