I just graduated from a 4th tier law school in the US. Although my school isn't ranked high, I stood top of my class and had interesting jobs and volunteer experiences along the way. For example, I worked for a Judge and at the Attorney General's office. I also worked for a professor of mine who was updating his treatise. So basically, going to a top 20 school will help you...but as you can see, it's not everything. Good luck!

Do you mean you were the best of your class (of how many?) or you were e.g. top 5% or so? Anyway, congratulations for your achievements and your admission to cantab and lse!!
