3.2UW GPA, reach schools and targets [MO resident, 970 SAT, finance, French, pre-law]

If you’re at a private, talk to your counselor. Most of these you should apply TO and many don’t have finance. The good news - is the school name won’t matter for law. You’re in Missouri - look at Truman State. Harvard, Penn, and UVA - top 8 law schools - have kids from well over 100 undergrads in their first year class including directionals. Penn shows the entire school - over 200 schools.

But here’s my assessment - and maybe full pay will help you but:

American - no

Bard - no

BC - wouldn’t apply

Campbell - yes - I believe very religious

Carleton - don’t apply

Connecticut - no

Elon - toss up but leaning no

Fairfield - no

Lehigh - wouldn’t apply

Mac - wouldn’t apply

Reed - wouldn’t apply

Rhodes - academically no but you are full pay so maybe

Trinity - no

Richmond - no

Va Tech - no

Wake - don’t apply

W&M - don’t apply

I’m saying don’t apply not to be mean - but I don’t see a path. You need to build a list for your academics - so you oddly have Va Tech….well how about Mizzou, KU, Arkansas, Missouri State. Since you love languages, IU would be a home run. Ole Miss as well. These are the types of schools you need to apply.

You have a lot of LACs - how about Augustana (SD), Beloit, Coe, Hendrix, Southwestern, Susquehana, Washington College.

You know who’s a big cross shop to American - U of Denver - that’s a worthy try.

I guess I’m not seeing it - based on what you provided.

But talk to your counselor.

The good news is - if they offer French (check everywhere), your goals can be met anywhere.
