Just curious where people on this forum are thinking of applying to for this fall! I'm hoping to apply to Vanderbilt, Baylor, Georgetown, and Alabama if I make the score I'm shooting for! Wanted to see where everyone else is hoping to attend!

T14 (excluding Yale and Stanford), GW, Fordham, and Cardozo.
@476 no, i went to iu for political science and did a minor in business
@katrinkaminskaya68 did you go to Kelley undergrad? What program were you in?
I'm from Texas, Go Baylor! Currently I am residing in SoCal. I am applying to the University of San Diego, California Western, UC Irvine, and Southern Methodist in Dallas, TX.
@476 same here! i was considering Kelley, but first gotta do lsat and then will look into gmat
@katrinkaminskaya68
Loved it; Kelley is my alma mater for undergrad and grad school
so far for me: Miami, FSU, FIU, WUSTL, Notre Dame.
University of New Mexico, Fordham, Brooklyn Law, St. Johns
LA
@476 how did you like IUB?
The one in LA. If that's the only school I get into, I don't think I would go there.
For those applying to Loyola... which Loyola are you applying to? @1633 @Accounts Playable
Like Alex said, there are TONS of regional schools that are underrated...one I'm considering as of now is UB Law.
Amen to that. Preach brotha.
Exactly my feelings. I want to say HYS, but I have just decided to not even think about that and just aim for a score that I know I gave my all to. From then, I guess I can decide :DD
UC Berkley, UCLA, UCI, Loyola, Pepperdine. If I end up taking a year off to study to aim for a 170+, then I'll throw Stanford in there.
All the T14 (really tailoring my app for Y and H). I am going to take a GMAT practice test to see if I want to study for it for a bit and apply to an MBA program (really only looking at Wharton, Stanford, and Harvard for that since I already have an MS in accounting from Kelley; an extra year or two for an MBA doesn't seem worth it unless the alumni network is awesome). I'm leaning towards probably not since I really only have two years work experience, but if my GMAT is good why not throw that in just to see what happens? Pursuing this strategy also depends on what law schools I get accepted to.
Post law school, if I consider an MBA or tax LLM from NYU (only tax LLM I'll consider) and if I'm in corporate, I'll try negotiating with my employer to foot some of the cost (which is another reason I'm leaning "no" for an MBA right now; I don't want to pay for it). Tax LLM at NYU at least can be completed online, so the opportunity cost for that isn't that bad since you can work and do it. Non-executive MBAs are costly since most top programs don't have the online option; you pretty much lose two years of salary unless you can negotiate one hell of a deal.
Trinity, Monterey and Cooley Law school.
UCLA, USC, Washington U of StL, Georgetown, GW, U Washington (essentially, any derivative of George Washington), UC Irvine, Loyola and U Oregon.
Yeah, you are so right! I think my decision will come down to money at a lower T14/T6 and hopefully at least 1-2 of HYS. I'm really going to have to agonize and make a hard decision if it comes down to that. If I do end up with a 170+ LSAT, I'll probably only apply to HYS.
If you aren't interested in big law or attending a T14 there are certainly great regional schools out there that are way underrated. Sometimes I wish you could get the jobs you wanted from any law school.... such an elitist profession, lol.
What would you consider a good ranking school? That always varies from person to person. What are you hoping for?
Ah yeah that's tough! I'm no where near interested in biglaw so a t14 seems "eehhhh" to me haha. Well your GPA is awesome and will certainly take you places so given you score amazingly on the LSAT (which you will ;) ) I don't see why you wouldn't get a big fat scholarship from a t14. But for me, a full ride from a good ranking school always has precedence lol.
Sometimes I consider applying to a regional school and going for a full scholarship if possible. I wish I could, but for the things I'd ideally like to do, I fear I'll need a top law school on my resume to open the doors.
T25 is good stuff! Any particular schools?
i will be happy with t--25
I'm one of the rare ones that isn't interested in the t14-20 lol. But for now it depends on my LSAT score and where life leads me within a year or so.
