Top Law Schools

Opinions on my best plan for applying to law schools? My goal is essentially to maximize potential scholarship money at the best possible school.

*Would consider my softs less than stellar and I am still an undergrad student, so no distance from my GPA.

I think the conventional TLS wisdom is to blanket the T-14 (minus YHS) and then apply to WUSTL for huge scholarship money. I guess also to focus on splitter friendly schools like UVA, NU (but I'm pretty sure NU likes some work experience), and I think Duke. I'd probably also apply to a strong regional in the area you think you want to practice and see what happens there.

How realistic are my chances at a full ride to WashU in your opinion?

Hard to say, according to Mylsn, http://mylsn.info/btpd5j/, not great I guess. But, I don't really know much about their admissions process.
