I think it's a little early in the cycle to be asking this. Most of us don't know yet where we're going to law school and, relatedly, whether we'll have any scholarship money. If you ask in April, though, I'm sure you'll get a lot of responses.

about 180-200k total.

I'm just looking for an approximate figure. I haven't even been accepted anywhere yet, but I still have an idea.

UG -- 10k
LS -- 40k

[BasketCaseBrief]

Undergrad: 50k
Estimated debt after LS: 110-130k

Total est.: anywhere between 160k and 180k

I've already accepted that I likely won't receive any decent amount of finaid from schools I'll actually want to attend.

[84Sunbird2000]

UG: 11k

Law School - 30k - 170k. The former number is a full ride somewhere in the T2 or lower T1. The latter if I get into Cornell or maybe another T20 that really sweeps me off my feet.

parents...

[MC Southstar]

All of it.

[BenJ]

Nothing after UG. Hopefully only a little after law school, but I'm not kidding myself.

[Oban]

UG: 0 (Full Tution + Stipend)
LS: most likely 65k for living expenses if i opt for the full tuition scholly i got so far.

[JCougar]

$0K from undergrad
$55K from grad school
~$80K from law school if I get in where I want to (in-state).

$135K total. Ugh. Hopefully my Master's degree helps me get a better job out of law school to at least partially justify the cost.

[Aeroplane]

UG: $10K
Grad school: $0K
Law School: $100-$130K, depending on how 1L & 2L summers work out.

[Vincent Vega]

Assuming I take my full scholly at Indiana, I will probably be borrowing about $30K for expenses while in LS. Combined with my $25K from UG, that equals about $55K.

[mhernton]

undergrad = 5 years of my life, 0 dollars

MBA = 60K =

Law Degree = 10K plus Law Degree priceless??


undergrad = service academy graduate, thanx all you taxpayers out there

MBA = living expenses covered by GI Bill tuition on Federal Loans

Law School = Covered by new GI Bill + Scholarship (already admitted) figure 10K in private loans for expenses

[CE2JD]

Hopefully I'll only be about 60k in debt after law school (assuming I get a 2L summer biglaw job).

0k from undergrad.
