  Yale, Stanford, Harvard:
  -Because they are Yale, Stanford, and Harvard

  UC Berkeley:
  1. Went to undergrad here, so I am greatly nostalgic, would love to be a student there again at my old age
  2. It's in California- as far as I'm concerned, greatest state in the Union- people can disagree, haha
  3. Prestige
  4. Absolutely beautiful campus

  Same

  Also NYU or Columbia because I adore NYC and I think that law school would be a great chance to live there for a few years to have the experience and then go somewhere else.

  UC Davis
  1) I don’t have the option to move and this is one of 6 or so schools within commute distance
  2) They have an immigration clinic. None of the other 6 schools do.
  3) They’re part of a larger college campus. Hopefully I can sneak in some Spanish classes without hiking my tuition.
  4) They have smaller L1 sections than other schools.

  Northwestern

  1.) Chicago is my favorite city in the US. Absolutely love the city of Chicago, especially downtown Chicago.
  2.) Reputation and prestige
  3.) It's actually attainable with the right test score despite my poor uGPA, lol.

  Stanford:

  1) I want to do computational law and they actually have this option (only school in the country that does).
  2) Access to the literal founders of the field of computational law and of statistical learning which is my current background and houses the outside-law classes I want to take.
  3) Really cool clinics that utilize data to look at police brutality and incarceration.
