Law School Acceptance

Does anybody out there have any experience with getting into law school.
My daughter is looking to apply - Univ of Texas, Baylor, Univ of Houston or
SMU.
Looking for any tips, pointers, paying for it, scholarships, etc etc.
Anything would be usefull.

She graduated Southwestern (Georgetown, Tx) with a degree in French and a
minor in Dance with a 3.8 GPA.

Taught a year at a local High School (French, Dance and Drill Team Director)
and is heavy into drama and dance (has acted professsionally).

Currently she is a legal secretary at a law firm in Austin, Tx and just loves
the work. Waiting on results of LSAT due in Jan. Made a 170/180 on a
practice test but said actual test was much much harder.

I'm not an expert into US law schools, but shouldn't she go for better
schools, given her GPA and LSAT practice test result?

As an example, most students entering Baylor's law school class are
more like 3.2-3.7 and 155-160, respectively (see
