Top Law Schools

Ok here are my choices and estimate debt after 3 years (including COL)

Gonzaga 100,000
Tulsa 40,000
Charleston 100,000+ (possibly a little less)
Ave Maria 50,000
Florida Coastal 90,000
Roger Williams 100,000

I know none of these schools are exactly top schools...but given these options what is the smartest choice in your opinion?

Where do you want to practice? If you don't care then go to Tulsa b/c it's the cheapest.

Tulsa because cheapest/has captive market.

Tulsa doesn't even do as well as OU in Tulsa, but given your other options as well as tulsa's generally positive reputation in the state of Oklahoma, I would definitely choose Tulsa.

Tulsa or gonzaga, my pick is gonzaga if you are a girl though- they are actively trying to make law more approachable for women (guys, you wouldn't understand). Tulsa seems like a rockin' party and all, but I would rather eat sand.

lol...

Also op, for the love of God throw out all the other choices except for Tulsa and gonzaga. That is the real decision.

+1. You sound intelligent, don't do this to yourself. Try private tutoring. Ex: tutoring cost me $3-4k, offered $25k to WFU. I would have been looking at those schools too btw. I just didn't have a clue what the LSAT was.

Thanks everyone... even for painfully honest opinions, I appreciate it because at times I know I am in denial ha....and I actually have no idea where i want to work eventually...


Also, I'm waitlisted at Richmond... if I get in, would it be worth it to pay full price there?

Do you want to work in Richmond?

yes....question mark?

Do you really have to work where you go to school ( I mean unless you go to harvard...)?

How do people know where they want to live/work...?

does everyone else really have it that much more together than me!?

No. But it's often easier to go build relationships with people (i.e., network) in your desired location if you go to school for three years in that location.

I would guess that most people have either visited or lived in the area they want to work.

This is the first time I vote for Tulsa. Just make sure you are not part of a minority or consider yourself liberal.
