Dear God Help
I woke up this morning and found THIS in my fb newsfeed:
"Well the cat is sticking its head out of the bag. Guess it's time to tell everyone! Last week it was only a dream, but now it's a reality! I (name) have been OFFICIALLY ACCEPTED TO LAW SCHOOL! The Thomas M. Cooley Law School!!"
....
It has over 50 likes.
How do I break it to this guy that he is making the worst mistake EVER.
(This is not a flame.) I feel like it would be rude to crap on his dream, but at the same time. The consensus is that this place is essentially the University of Phoenix.

Unless this is a close friend or family member who will still listen after you've hurt his fee-fees, you're probably not going to be able to change his mind.

Re: Dear God Help
Had a friend do this for Capital University. Same thing, a million likes and not only did I judge him, but also everyone he knew who "liked" it. Never said anything as it's not my place. But I'm sure he'll learn soon enough.

Re: Dear God Help
The fourth result on Google is thomas m cooley law school SCAM. There's fuck all you can do about this. If he owes you money get it back now.
Although I have known people who have applied to law schools without Googling anything about law school. Granted it was 5 years ago now.

Re: Dear God Help
Just tell him to do some research on the school as you've heard some things that make you concerned. If he doesn't do the research, then he doesn't want to know.lutcf2021 wrote:I woke up this morning and found THIS in my fb newsfeed:

It's not necessarily a mistake, at all. How can you deem it that without any further information?lutcf2021 wrote:I woke up this morning and found THIS in my fb newsfeed:

Re: Dear God Help
The subset of people for whom Cooley is not a life-ruining mistake is so small (like 3 people) that we're pretty safe in assuming. Additionally, OP presumably knows the person and whether Cooley is a bad idea.LexLeon wrote:It's not necessarily a mistake, at all.

How does this person not know what he's getting himself into? :/ All he has to do is a google search of his prospective schools. God knows how many I've done...

Yes, for his situation. This would be a BAD move.The subset of people for whom Cooley is not a life-ruining mistake is so small (like 3 people) that we're pretty safe in assuming. Additionally, OP presumably knows the person and whether Cooley is a bad idea.

I'm sure this has probably been discussed elsewhere, but this is just so.. wrong:
http://www.cooley.edu/news/2011/020411_ ... hools.html
TL;DR Cooley ranks itself 2nd best law school in the nation, next to Harvard of course..
