An applicant should identify programs in which he or she might be interested considerably before beginning to fill out application forms. Typically, an undergraduate starts to research the universe of law schools in the summer between the junior and senior years. The goal should be the best possible fit between an applicant's academic capabilities, curricular interests, cultural and social values, on the one hand, and the law school, on the other.

Factors to consider are:

• The Academic Community
• Facilities
• The Academic Program
• Job Placement
• Costs
• Geographic Location
• Applicant Competitiveness
  

You can see how many Pomona students applied to different law schools from 1995-2002 here.
A powerpoint presentation about how to get into law school can be found here.
LSAC statistics from 2000-2002.

Information about specific law schools can be found on a school's website, through the American Bar Association, or better yet, through the Career Development Office at Pomona. The CDO staff and library are wonderful resources for information for choosing law schools to apply to.
