Oddibemed-
I couldn't agree more. Everything's banking on a killer LSAT score. Score a 170, and I think I've got a decent shot at Cornell and Georgetown. (As you yourself have confirmed.) Also, for what it's worth, I must have miscalculated the first time around... After plugging everything into the gpa calculator again, I've realized if I keep up the near-4.0 work I'll have a 3.3-3.4 at the end of junior year, and a 3.6ish by graduation. So waiting an extra year to apply is always an option.
Seeing as how all my plans are dictated by that LSAT score, do you think I should get it out of the way earlier than planned? (I always figured I'd take it during the summer of '09, the summer before I apply.) I guess it doesn't really matter, it's just that I'm anxious to see where I stand.
Anyhow, thanks for the advice. That goes for everyone else too.
Oh yeah, btw, just how much does it help being a legacy? I've got this advantage at Virginia, but I'm thinking it won't matter much. Just thought I'd ask.
