Popa,

Georgetown is top 13 (Cornell dropped).

I know BTL’s that have gotten into every top law school except Yale. It might also be worth it to go to a slightly lower ranked school (but still within the T-14) if you can get an academic scholarship.

Additionally, if you are pretty confident in your abilities you can go to lower ranked school and then transfer after your first year. For example, someone who finishes top third in their first year at Georgetown or Cornell should easily be able to get into NYU for their second year where their chances of getting a good job are vastly improved.
