whatever you do, do NOT apply ED. Rediculous waste. If you have the numbers to get into NYU, surely Fordham will give you some merit money. Why pay sticker?
do you have an absolute personal need to be in NYC? There are plenty of other great highly-ranked law schools below NYU. Law school is only three years, and getting back to NY from say, Northwestern or Michigan or Duke is really easy. Any of those three would be better than St. Johns, Yeshiva, 'Nova.
