Seton Hall or Brooklyn Law?
Offered 25k to both schools. Same stips- must stay in the top 80% of your class. Please do not say retake, I am 100% going to one of these schools this Fall. Which would you choose?

That's 170K of debt. Nope. You need biglaw to pay it off and you are not getting biglaw. What about Rutgers and why can't you retake/reapply?

Re: Seton Hall or Brooklyn Law?
Sorry Branruss but, at these prices, these are objectively terrible choices that make zero sense unless you are sitting on a wad of cash and don't know what to do with yourself.

Don't not retake. Don't take the 25K discount on a legal education that has consistently been increasing in cost at an astronomical pace relative to the real earning power of lawyers. You can do it, be a success story, go get some w/e and study up for the LSAT using the materials on this site. The world is your oyster. You're a peacock, fly!

I vote instead of just saying retake, we start using a variation of this.John Everyman wrote:The world is your oyster. You're a peacock, fly!

i am at SHU with almost a full ride and i would not reccommend going here for less. but if this is really what you're going to do it comes down to working in NJ or NYC. If you want to work in NJ go to shu.

Re: Seton Hall or Brooklyn Law?
It really depends. Do you want to do document review in a warehouse in Jersey City while paying off $150k in debt or do you want to do document review in the basement of an office building in New York City while paying off $150k in debt?

there's a good chance of just straight, unmitigated unemployment
that describes more than one out of ten grads from these two schools, not even working part-time as a barista, let alone in one of the coveted warehouses or basements you describe

Re: Seton Hall or Brooklyn Law?
I am basically with the others.
Do you realllly want to be in NJ? I mean, SHU has a lot of white male alums running the NJ political establishment (C. Christie and his goons) and a good number of judges, but do you want to be there? Because that's your best bet. Don't go to SHU if you'd rather end up in NYC or beyond the region. Also-- what would you pay at Rutgers? I am curious because their list price starts out so much lower than SHU.
What's your debt gonna be, like 80k for each of these, conservatively?
I think Bk is a great school in a great spot, and I see its alums in a lot of decent places, but it's really underperformed in terms of outcomes. Worth the 80k (conservatively) risk? You tell me.

Your odds are way better if you just take the money to AC and bet on black.

OP, either of the above options probably gives you at least a 90% failure rate. Do not go to either school for that much money.
Honestly, I think you have better odds getting into the heroin trade, making a huge profit, and getting out--without getting killed by a rival dealer or busted by the cops.

Retaking the LSAT was one of the smartest decisions I made in life. You know that's what you should do too, OP.
