Northwestern actually may NOT be a safety because the admin prefers people with work experience (of course, being in the GPA range and well above the LSAT range will only be beneficial). Yet, as NU is not entirely numbers driven (the dean published a letter regarding preference for work experience), it may not be as much as safety as one would think.
For your numbers, Fordham really is a fine safety school. Perhaps you would like to consider GW, but USC ought to be a safety with those numbers. It's not like Boalt (Berkeley) which greatly prefers in-state students (unless you happen to be from Cali).
