167 LSAT/3.79 GPA/Non-resident alien and Non-traditional Forum

[lurker3.5]

Softs:

As the title explains,

1. alien at a pretty new & unique program, double degree between a top ivy and a french school- pretty famous in the francophone world, two years of grades in the US and two years in France (AACRAO gave me an AA).

2. Resume screams pre-law, I did internships at ABA/SLS/CLS/NYU Law/AGNY

3. Translating a book on environmental law and another paper passed first round of review and going over the second round now.
Letters from HLS and another con law profs (a famous civil rights lawyer).

Questions:

1. Should I ED any school at all? If so, which? I am choosing between Gtown/Cornell/Duke/UVA?

2. Are Gtown/Cornell safe bets for ED(or, a bit too safe?)

3. Am I aiming too high if I ED Duke/UVA? (or should I first ED Duke, then do expedited for UVA?)

4. Should I bother applying any of the CCN at all? (i.e. Can you please give me a school from which I should blanket down?)

Thanks everybody, after such a long wait I am just happy to see a score.

mom and pa fine with the idea of ED and the possibility of going at a sticker price (at least for now)
