Georgetown Law vs. GW Law

I would apply to some more schools that are ranked more highly than GW and see how you fare with merit aid from them. Heck, even Duke should be giving you admission (and some merit funds, maybe).

With your career goals, you should avoid debt, so I’d lean towards taking a school ranked below Georgetown with significant merit aid. I think you can get into plenty of schools and get plenty of merit aid from lots more schools, though.

I agree about retaking the LSAT. 3.94 + 170 or so should get admissions basically everywhere, with lots of merit aid from lots of schools.

I also agree that you shouldn’t go to any law school and plan to be at the top of the class.
