My decision for next fall is down to The Catholic University of America or St. John's. I eventually would like to do corporate law and do not know where I would rather practice, New York or Washington. I worked in DC last summer and have a few decent connections in the DC area which could lead to future opportunities. I am however concerned that St. John's would provide a better education in terms of a corporate law-related curriculum than would Catholic. So, which is a better choice for a person who would eventually like to practice corporate law in either DC or New York keeping in mind that St. John's would be better (In my opinion) based on course work and Catholic would be better based on my connections in the DC area? Which is more important in the long run?

I am looking on U.S News at the numbers for George Mason University. This school seems to have a much wider 25/75 than most schools. GPA is 3.15-3.83. LSAT is 158-166. Why such a wide spectrum? I have applied their ED with less-than-stellar numbers, but with the help of the former Chairman of GMU Law Alumni Association.
Their website lists "George Mason University affiliation" as one of the factors considered in the admissions process. Could this explain the greater range, and frankly low 25ths for both GPA and LSAT considering it is ranked quite highly (37)? Virginia residency is not considered admissions, so what else could be the explaination?

What about this. How easy/hard is it to move into business after years of practicing law? I too would like to go to law school and become a practicing lawyer, but not forever. I would really like to move into business someday. Also, do business schools see practicing law as good work experience for prospective MBA students?

3.45 GPA (slightly above their 50th percentile), 157 LSAT (one below 25th percentile) plus family member is an alumnist (if this matters at all). Good personal statment, good references and a good resume. What are my chances at American University Washington College of Law

I have a 3.45 Canadian GPA. (LSAC reported 3.06 but I wrote an addendum explaining the discrepancy) and was scoring mid 160s on LSAT practice tests until I finally overcame my games problem. I took only one practice test after relearning my games strategy and I got a 169. I think my real LSAT will be 166-169 because I was pretty confidant that I did about as well as usual on LR and RC, and found the LG section quite easy. What are my chances at the following schools with these marks, a strong personal statment, original diversity statement, strong LORs (including one who is very well respected at Cornell Law) and a pretty good resume?
Cornell
Georgetown
George Washington
Fordham
UNC - Chapel Hill (out of state)
