Why would you say avoid Arizona at all costs? You're the first person I've heard have negative views of the school.

And it's June, bit late for retaking lol. And there's really very little to no reason to put off law school for a year to shoot for T14 anyways.

When I say retake I mean start studying for the October exam and apply next cycle. If you improve by 4 points your situation changes drastically. I am not joking about your situation changing drastically with a 4 point increase. It'll be a night and day difference. In the eyes of admissions, you're a completely new candidate to them with an improved score.


Moreover, I say reject Arizona because the Arizona legal market is tiny, not worth sticker price, and the University of Arizona also has some pretty high unemployment. With a 164 you can get into some really strong regional schools with $$. You probably slip into some top 20 schools with a 164 via the Waitlist. And, if you're a URM with a 164 you can get into top 20 schools with some scholarship money too. I said avoid UofA because of the unemployment, poor job prospects, desert environment, Tucson, and because the school isn't that great. Stereotyped as a huge party school where people care more about partying then going to class. I wouldn't have any pride telling people I graduated from the UofA. They probably already stereotype you as a some huge partier. If you truly want to be in phoenix go to ASU then. With a 164 you can probably get scholarship money there as well.

Key concerns are quality of life for the next 3 years and the connections/potential trade skills I'll pick up from a Big Law gig to apply to my family's own firm. Going to a T-14 has little benefit for me over immediately going into law school.
