Your ACT score, while good, probably rules out Yale or Princeton. That's ok, though. Vanderbilt would be a nice choice if they will give you a scholarship. I'd suggest you find the best school that will give you a full scholarship so you won't be burdened by debt when you enter law school. Another thing - start preparing for the LSAT as soon as you get into undergrad. Take Kaplan courses early and often and whatever else you can to get familiar with the types of problems presented. I thought I would knock the LSAT out with little preparation (like I did the ACT), but it requires much different skills. I ended up making a pretty average score.
The most important thing I can tell you is don't follow the traditional law school prep program. I was a political science major with a minor in English. It's very general, but it actually limited my options. What kind of lawyer do you want to be? Patent or Intellectual Property Lawyer? Do a computer, mechanical or software engineering major. Tax attorney? Make accounting your major. The benefits to these kinds of majors are numerous. First, if you decide not to go to law school you can get a job in that field, whereas you are pretty limited with political science, career-wise. Another plus is those with math/science based majors tend to do better on the LSAT. And if you decide not to specialize in that area of the law, you're still open to do whatever. Law schools care way more about your LSAT score and grades than they do your major.
So, the time has come. I have a big interview on the 20th with Montevallo, which has risen head and shoulders above any other in my school search. I am interviewing for a scholarship that includes room, board, tuition, and a book stipend of 1000 per year. Anybody have any tips as far as the interview goes?
Smallie is giving you the best advice of all, be yourself.
Come tour Auburn, the loveliest village on the Plains!

Tomorrow is the big day. I can't wait. Not really nervous, but very excited.
