I'm a recent JD graduate from a top Canadian law school. I graduated with a (meh) 3.0/4.0 average. I have an A average from my undergraduate degree. I have a Killam-Fulbright award, and have published an article in a top Canadian law journal.
I am wondering where I should be looking at applying. Of course, I'd like to look at top schools in the US, but I don't particularly grasp how my relatively low GPA (though a 3.0 is average in Canada) will impact my chances. I would appreciate naming schools that are highly ranked where you think I would have a decent shot.
Thanks!
Where should I apply? (chance me)

More important than your raw GPA, what was your class rank? What area do you want to specialise in? What's the calibre of your recent work experience?

(1) My institution does not provide class rank;
(2) I'm interested in Aerospace or Science/Tech;
(3) I've just graduated. Throughout law school, and currently, I run a small but successful small business (relating to Aerospace).
