I have been getting these emails about CLEO for 2014, maybe you guys can shed some insight.

I am not THAT old, but I am in my mid 20s. Is this program for students who have recently graduated?

I don't want to apply, get accepted, and be Methuselah.

It doesn't matter as long as you will be attending an ABA accredited law school and be a 1L in the Fall.

I think that it's absolutely crazy to pay 2k for CLEO. There are a plethora of Pre-Law programs that are offer for free across the country, you just need to research. Also I have heard only sub-par reviews on CLEO. Please anyone thinking about this needs to reconsider.

Were there any scholarships or financial assistance offered after CLEO was over?

Would you say that the program is worth the investment? I am debating still if I am going to participate in it yet? I have been accepted to some schools already however I am not super happy with my choices (negative to applying last minute). Do you think to cleop program would help me to obtain admissions into another school?
