Any thoughts on this school?

It has impressively moved up in the USNWR rankings. Also ranked third for placement in New England, right behind Harvard and Yale. (Class of 2013).

They have an honor program there, first one I know of, which when completed enrolls you into their state bar without a formal examination.

Doesn't seem like a terribly difficult school to get into, but a large portion of their recent grads are working in small firms (probably with small salaries) or in "business" doing who knows what.

Note: If you want to do smaller firm stuff in New Hampshire, that isn't a bad thing. Just don't do it at anything other than a full ride

And solid personal savings for livings expenses. $78,000 at the Stafford graduate student interest rates is still a lot to pay back making $40-50k.
