Top Law Schools

Hi there,

I'm graduating in May from U of M with a degree in Psychology. I've been accepted at Michigan State, Wayne State, and U of D Mercy with full ride scholarships. I've also been accepted at Loyola and Ohio State with partial scholarships. I'm still waiting on U of M but I'm not really holding out too much hope because I went here for undergrad. I can't really afford to go out of state, so I would like any advice or opinions on whether Michigan State or Wayne State would be the better option. I'm very nervous about being able to get summer internships and getting a job after I graduate.

Thank you in advance!

What is total cost of attendance at each including interest at graduation

Wayne State: $27,135.40 per year - full scholarship
Michigan State: $36,360.00 per year - full scholarship
U of D Mercy: $39,630 per year - full scholarship
OSU: $42,836 per year - $25,000 a year scholarship
Loyola: $40,850 per year - $30,000 a year scholarship

Wayne State and U of D mercy I'd be living at home, so housing is not an issue, MSU it would be 7500 a year for housing in a graduate dorm.

Wayne is probably your best bet if you dont get into UM.

Do you have outside assistance other than your scholarships? If not, I think you're grossly underestimating your cost. It costs more than 10k/ year for books, fees, and cost of living, and interest will probably put you at 50k+ for total cost of attendance wherever you go.

Check out the profiles on Law School Transparency. MSU and Detroit have abysmal job prospects; less than 40% in full-time, long-term, JD-required jobs. Wayne State is around 50%. MSU places around 1% into firms of 100+, while the other two place around 6%. Wayne State is your least bad option, but a retake is by far the best choice.

How about you do that math, then add interest

Also I agree with Romo, where are your costs

Do the math and come back

Not only do we need this number to give you advice, but you need to see it
