Clarification of Question by swifty12-ga on 14 Sep 2004 17:07 PDT

1. Pls ignore typos :-)
"stretch"
"Procurement"
"Methods"
"and"
2. Include Fian Aid info if well=versed..along with...
3. married student information

this is not an answer to your question, but in addition to best school
that you can get accepted to, you might also consider the best school
that would give you a scholarship.  My scores are each a bit lower
than yours, and I just started at a state school on an almost full
ride scholarship.  With your experience and high scores, you might get
a substantial scholarship to a reasonably-ranked school.  The average
law student is borrowing over $60k/yr for the three years.

Good luck!

what was state school??

It's nothing to brag about.  It's a midwestern school named after a
region of the state, not even the whole state.  We're us news rank 70
something.  But imho, and having worked an admin job at a very large
firm in Florida, law firm hiring is more regional than anything. 
Firms recognize the "good" school in their area, more so than they
specifically look at nation-wide rankings.  The one for which I worked
hired mostly from UF, some Stetson and occasionally Duke - and at the
time I believe they were the largest firm in the southwestern US. 
People tend to give the us news ranking more value than it's worth,
imo.
