Re: Help me choose a law school...
Apply to the following:
Yale
Stanford
Harvard
Columbia
NYU
U of Chicago
UPenn
UC Berkeley
UMich (Ann Arbor)
UVA
Duke
Northwestern
Cornell
Georgetown
UCLA
U Texas (Austin)
USC
Vandy
GW
Wash U
BU
BC
Go to the highest ranked school on that list unless you want to make an exception for where you want to practice law (Northwestern might be more valuable to you than UC Berkeley if you want to practice in Illinois)
The people who made a point about law firm snobbery are correct. Do not go where you get money, it is a long run -EV play.
Apply to A LOT of schools. I know people who have been accepted to Harvard but were rejected from the other 9 top 10 schools. Applications are a contact game with high variance... apply everywhere now and make your decission later.
Good luck
