What are my chances for these law schools

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.

Got it! And for a few personal reasons, I have to stay near New York for my law degree; therefore schools such as Northwestern, Michigan and Duke are out. The absolute furthest I could go is 5 hours in any direction from NYC, preferably staying in New York.
