Top Law Schools

I just took my first LSAT administration in September and received a 172
I am a Canadian, non-URM, white caucasian female, coming straight out of undergrad
Average softs, solid LORs
Looking at top 20ish + other schools in NY/CA
Order of top (dream) preferences probably: Columbia, NYU, UCLA, USC
My parents can likely finance sticker. I know I wouldn't get $ at dream schools, but would consider lower-ranked schools in NY/CA if they offer substantial $

I've checked mylsn but have found TLS users usually provide good advice
Should I ED Columbia/NYU since I wouldn't get $ anyways and I'm low on their numbers or wait out to see if I get $ from others?
Does applying ED to either really make a difference in admission chances?

Any help is appreciated
~if you have only mean things to say then sh~

http://www.mylsn.info will give the best assessment of your chances

ED bumps vary based on school, I think NYU and Columbia (Columbia especially) don't give as much of a bump as, say, UVA but it might help you get over the hump.

Sticker debt is unjustifiable IMO, how rich are your parents? If they are light money on fire just to watch it burn rich then I guess ED to your preference. YOLO

Why not Cornell? Duke? Etc.? If it were me I would apply everywhere and see what happens. But I'm not rich.

UCLA/USC don't make sense to me unless you can get the cost significantly lower than your T14 options. Might be doubtful with a 3.5 but I guess that could happen.
