I feel like there is a pattern forming between individuals that refuse to retake and those that don't provide all the required info.

^Yep. It's called not doing your homework on reality. Usually habitual, unfortunately.

Loyola is probably the least bad option here as long as you're content with fighting for your life for scraps and leftovers in the Illinois market. There is a 47.2% chance that after three years of school you will not be able to secure a legal job at all.

Retaking the LSAT could get you Washington University or Texas for close to free. What's stopping you?

Loyola for free is a bad decision. Loyola for six figures is just ludicrous

Retake

[JCougar]

All of those options are really bad.

Obviously the best option is retake, but if you are truly going to pick one of these schools no matter what... I would choose Texas but only if you are in-state.

Texas at in-state is $33K/year plus COL. At least the COL is low. From that point, sanity is on the horizon, but you're not quite there yet.

Over 150K for UT? Plus interest on top of that? Hell to the no.

I'm with Bruce on this one.

You can't live in Austin for less than $20K/year? I was thinking around $130K in debt for in-state at Texas. I'd be comfortable going there for $100K total. So if you could live for free or get another $30K in scholarships, that would be okay.

You probably could. Personally, I wouldn't bank on it. But I'm old and so less inclined to put up with things like shitty apartments/living arrangements to save money. The school budgets about 20K COL and so that's what I would expect to spend.
