decent softs + URM (MA) currently working at a law firm. Biglaw would be my goal, but I am worried about my chances at a T14.
Will it hurt my chances that i went to glorified community college for undergrad (SFSU)?
Retaking not really an option, I am maxed out.
GULC would be my dream right now, but is that realistic? I would like to go to DC, I have family there

Your UG school won't really matter. I think you've got a great shot at getting into the T14. Certainly the lower T14 schools, and I think you may even snag a couple with some form of packages. Apply broadly though, URM acceptances are hard to guess, you've got a good LSAT and decent GPA, you'll get something. I'd also consider adding a T20 in the geographic range you want to practice (sadly, DC doesn't really have one I can think of off the top of my head?)- maybe GW would be worth tossing an app to as well as.
I think Gtown is def realistic for you. Would be great if you didn't have to pay for housing as well.

Okay, thanks, that settles my mind a little.
Cal and GULC are my top choices rn simply because I wouldn't have to pay for housing.
And I'm applying to UCLA, USC and Davis as well.
I guess I'm just really insecure about my UG because a cousin of mine is at Davis and mentioned some people there have crazy UGs like Harvard. At UCD..

Hello! Which class year are you? Last year? I am very afraid this year might get more competitive.
