Top 5 (or 3) Law Schools or Bust?

Okay, is this plan okay at all? I am really interested in law, but I am so scared with the price of law school and the current economy that I would only really want to go into law if I went to a top law school, and I mean top. I have a gpa hovering around 3.75-3.8, but I think I’ll be able to raise it more (it has increased significantly since my first semester). I’m only a rising sophomore, but I figure it’s smart to start thinking about the path I’m looking for. I took one practice LSAT without knowing what was on it and got a 164, so I assume I’ll be able to improve that pretty well too. I also have some Mexican blood in me. Is this a rational plan at all? Or am I just crazy?
