I was pretty surprised by the lack of LGBT applicants posting to the board as well. Perhaps they're all just sick of bickering. Where is your first choice? Your numbers are amazing, congratulations on all of the hard work that IM sure it took to achieve them. I have been considering schools in California, but like you said, its nigh on impossible to tell where I have a shot until the LSAT score comes back. Ive been looking at Boalt and UCLA if my scores are where I'd like them to be, USC if they're a bit below. I'd love to be in San francisco but Hastings doesn't look too impressive. What are your feelings about LA? I haven't heard many positives.
My top choices of the moment are Harvard, Stanford, Columbia and Boalt, if I get into those schools. Location is my biggest concern, since my bf is pretty settled at his job and relocation would be difficult. However, money is also a consideration, since I'd kind of nervous about going into significant debt.
LA is, in my experience, pretty gay friendly and very fun, although mostly near Hollywood, Santa Monica and UCLA. There are a sizable gay district and some fun clubs, although they can get rowdy. USC, however, isn't in such a nice part of LA.
I hear that Penn, Cornell and Michigan are also doing lots of LGBT outreach, but I don't know how exciting it would be to live in AA or Ithaca. I think this is interesting, though:
