Some good advice here.

Did you apply to the evening division?  If not, see if you can.  Its easier to get into and after 1L people move back and forth between the day and evening divisions.

I'll echo the sentiment that you really need to ask yourself if you want to be a lawyer and understand what it (and law school) entails.  There were a sizable amount of people in my class who were there simply because they didn't know what they wanted to do and figured they could hang out in law school for three years and figure it out.  You don't want to be one of these people.  They tended not to do well academically (its not like undergrad, its a grind) and as a result tended to be unhappy with their job prospects.

After 1L, take the classes that interest you.  You will be told to take certain classes because "they're on the bar."   Don't heed that advice.  You can learn enough about trust and estates during bar exam prep to pass.

Regional hiring is a thing.  I remember being told that most law grads end up working within a 100 mile radius of their school.  And its true.  If you don't want to stay in the northeast, I would look elsewhere.

Outside of attending an elite law school, all things being equal, public beats private.
