<p>Go to the best school you can get into.</p>
<p>One, there is no guarantee that you will get a higher gpa at the lower ranked school.</p>
<p>Two, you should be pushing yourself to reach your full potential.</p>
<p>Third, even if you get a 4.0 gpa at the lower ranked school, there is still no guarantee you would get into UVA law school anyway.</p>
<p>Fourth, there are many other law schools besides UVA. If you go to UVA undergraduate, and do well there, you might get into an even higher ranked law school than UVA.</p>
<p>As for law school, I would think VERY hard before pursuing that route.</p>
<p>There is a vast over-supply of lawyers.</p>
