Atmosphere Over Ranking?

<p>My dilemma is that there are schools that I really like, but I don’t think my SAT scores can gain me an admission to it. There are schools that do interest me that also fit with my SAT scores, but I can’t help but fantasize how awesome, I guess, going to a higher ranked school would be like. From all the famous/influential people of our time, they went to top schools… I aim to earn a JD from a top law program, and my understanding was that you need to go to a top school in order to get that</p>
