Yes. The current system encourages a meritocracy for law students. Do well on the test, get a good GPA, and you can go to a school that either is A) much more prestigious, or B) costs a lot less due to scholarships, or C) a bit of both.

If you don't do well, you should probably avoid the law school game. Unless you want to fuel it for the rest of us, and I have no idea why you'd do that.

Fourth-tier? Try some schools in the first-tier depending on debt.

These articles sometimes do more harm than good.
