what's the lowest ranked law school you would attend? Forum

[chadwick218]

Baylor full-ride (fell 10 spots from #55 to #65, ouch ... nevertheless, I want to work in either Dallas or Houston)

Notre Dame full-price

[rbgrocio]

The one I will be attending in the fall!

[Detail]

Fordham for law school at all

GULC sticker

and T12 Cooley sticker+some extra, obviously

[Zojirushi]

I'd go to Emory if a substantial (>$100K) scholarship were offered

for full price, prob UT/Vandy

3 spots is the difference between 120K in debt?? ouch.

[iceberger]

anything below T-10

[danielfgator]

At sticker: Any T10
With a full ride: T25

to be fair, i'd have said the same thing if emory were ranked in the lower 20s. i guess i meant T30 with substantial/full-ride scholarship. everything past USC down to ~T30 is more or less the same.

Do T30s even offer substantial scholarships, if you're not "special"?

There is a huge placement difference between those 3 spots...

In this economy, GULC might as well be Catholic.

Not to worry. My school just posted an extremely useful link for recent graduates (LinkRemoved) on its financial aid website.

[jigga-hjalmar]

T10 or you might as well be flipping burgers.

[moco112]

I just heard from my friend who graduated Valedictorian in his class from Yale, and he was offered a 40k PY job doing doc-reviews in the basement of an insurance defense firm, and he was happy to take it. The other option was to cook and eat his JD.

[JuryDueT1000]

I would attend any school that gets me a license to practice law. Two reasons:

1. I'm independently wealthy so I'm not worried about tuition
2. I'm opening my own practice so I don't need to worry about impressing some deutschebag who cares more about my degree name than my inate ability to drum up business and clients

Holy shit that's awesome. The valedictorian at Harvard is working at McDonalds.

Not working per se. Unpaid intern. And there have been complaints about her McAttitude.

I wanted to do clown college myself, but the bimodal salary distribution scared me off.

McDonalds is probably worth it, I imagine they send her to Ronald McDonald Culinary school for free.
