i dont want to do big law. so while maxing out my lsat potential, im not too concerned with rankings as i am with debt, location and job placement. i know most of the time this works hand in hand (t14 or die), but are there other schools with good-->great PI placement that are not t14, but still worth looking at for my career goals?

Outside of T-14, best thing to do is get a full ride to a regionally respected school where you're committed to spend your life practicing

do you plan on spending ur life in nyc? i don't think any school "specializes" in PI outside the T-14, tho I know CUNY and northeastern claim they do.

I think if those are the schools you're looking at you have to take a full ride wherever.

nyc will be my home indefinitely.

lol thats why i put specializes in quotes, bc its a claim and im not too sure about where the actual graduates land up.

so Brooklyn, Fordham, CUNY full rides only...this is what i was thinking too and i can stay at home so COS is nothing.

My top school choices are of course the best schools in the northeast, but just in case.

thanks
