Tips on top ten law schools?
I am getting ready to start sending out my applications, and I have the standard 175 LSAT score, 3.95 gpa, Senate internship, NCAA athletics, tons of community service, just like every other applicant to one of the top schools namely Harvard, UPenn, Duke, NYU, Columbia, Georgetown. Does anyone have any advice on what I can do to set myself apart? I'm looking for anything, the smallest piece of information can be useful a secretary's name, an admissions officer's favorite baseball team, anything I can use to let them know that I've done research. I am so serious about getting in, I just want to make sure I can convey that to them.
Should I even bother applying to top ten law schools or stay in florida?
I'm talking about schools like georgetown, duke, harvard, yale, columbia. I graduated w a 3.85 from The University of South Florida and I got a 171 on my LSAT. All of the lawyers I have spoke to usually live in the state they went to law school in. Would it make sense to stay in Florida? The majority of my family lives here, it's cheap, etc..., FSU, UF, and UM are all in the top 100?
Before you get accepted to a top ten law school, must you undergo an interview?
I've been researching law school admittance for quite some time now. I only seem to run across information concerning having a high GPA and LSAT score, a stunning application, and letters of recommendation. Do schools like Yale, Harvard, Stanford, UofM, require you attend an interview before they extend you an acceptance letter to their school? Thanks.

What is life like at a top-ten law school?
I have heard that going to a top ten law school is a breeze but getting in is really hard. You do not have too much work at a top ten law school apparently and you can enjoy other parts of your life more than at say a top 20 or any other law school. Is this true?
