Hmm, I just put in an app to Case as well, think I'm up to 25 now... Should be some chance that at least one of them wants me!

Haha, man I pray you get in! lol.  25 apps- how did you keep the names straight for them all!  But good luck- just don't take my spot at Case! lol.

No one listened here.  oi.  lol.  I live just outside Cleveland- a big city yes- not NY, but big and we have literally tons of firms here.  I looked at Jones Day- equal grads from t3 CSU and #51 Case.  Jones Day is an international firm.  Not too shabby.  Further, Jones Day and Squires, Sanders- among every other firms- hold interviews on the CSU campus a few times a year.  Yes, those big firms come to you at the little t3.  Moreover, tons of judges in Cleveland and surrounding counties, and a ton of politicians come from the t3.  And I'm not talking about city council members, I'm talking reps in DC.  So please, do not make judgments when you just don't know.

I may be a complete idiot about this, its ok I will accept it, but what does URM stand for?

If the deposit is cheap (meaning you can afford it) then just send it in.  Worst case scenario, you lose that money and pick a school you like more.  Just ask yourself if that money is worth the peace of mind for life that you made the correct choice?  Or try calling- you'll get a much, much quicker answer!  Try asking without giving them your name first.  If they want you so bad they should be ok with your decision.

Make sure it's not one of those early deposit deadlines for first choice and stuff.  Check their website and makes sure the dates match up to what they are telling you.

The solution to your problem sounds like it lies in your ability to market yourself to Case.  I don't think that you should retake the LSAT now without doing sufficient warm-up prep work.  So, that said, the question becomes how to best position yourself to get accepted to Case.  I think the answer is that you sit down with the admissions folks at Case and lay it all out for them.  If they accept you, you will come, so thus they aren't hurting their selectivity numbers by letting you in.  Plus, your GPA is very good for them.  Finally, you will not be asking for money from them because you have money coming from somewhere else.  Make yourself more attracive to them.

Actually the money is coming from them, the scholarship is through them, the donor was just an alumni from my college so she made them give preference to grads.  Luckily for me no one from my school has gone there in the last like 4 years at least- or even applied I don't think!  I have 3 years experience at a law firm and had an internship with the public defenders office, so hopefully that will help.  I honestly feel I have a good chance.  It basically would just make me feel better having a higher LSAT.  So I guess all I can do is practice as best I can next week.  They're median is a 158/159 so I don't need to be too much higher to give myself a really great shot.  I know that after my failed atempt last year, when I came back to it I did much better.  maybe my mind having the time to process it all will make it feel like second nature.
