Top Law Schools

Still getting lots of emails from law schools to apply even in mid-July now. Shows how desperate schools are for butts to fill seats and federal loans to fill their coffers.

This one sounds like an ad for Shamwow or something.

Dear [Wily],

Thinking about attending law school? Why wait another year! There’s still time to apply to the Earle Mack School of Law for Fall of 2012. Only a few seats remain, so apply soon! And, there are still a few scholarships available. Applying online is free! So what are you waiting for? Apply now!

My inbox is full of them. I am holding out for the full ride at Yale though.

That's insane. They are really trying to rush people into taking out 200K of non-dischargeable debt like it's buying something on late-night TV. While supplies last!

I'm really regretting checking that box that allowed law schools to see my info when I made my LSAC account. At the time I thought, how could it hurt? If I do well on the LSAT, I would want schools to see. Unfortunately (should have expected this), it's all the wrong schools I seem to be getting attention from. And by "wrong schools" I mean the ones that are completely fucked now that admissions have dropped, so they're whoring themselves out in the most desperate ways possible to attract students. In the past 2 days alone I've gotten emails from Florida Coastal, Seton Hall, Cooley, Florida State, and Mississippi College of Law. Some of them strongly implied that if I applied by mid January, I would basically be admitted with scholarship $$ within a week. Cooley sent me a flyer that said "learn why Cooley is a great choice for a legal education," next to a picture of a fat black woman clapping and laughing her ass off.

Are these schools really that desperate? They might as well start just taking random people off the street, which in a sense, is what Cooley has been doing already.

I spent about 20 minutes a few weeks ago going through and unsubscribing from all the spam school mail. Reallllly glad I did. Nothing is more unattractive in a school than desperation

All true, except that I just got a fee waiver from GULC. That alone is worth all the hilarious Florida Coastal emails.

Haven't gotten anything from GULC. I have gotten a few emails from some decent schools (UW Seattle, UT) but they're not giving me anything, just telling me to apply.

To be fair, after the LSAT I got fee waivers from Columbia, Cornell, Northwestern, and UVA. (Obvious & shameless GULC trolling )

Well schucks, where are my fee waivers? All I'm getting are these hilarious yet obnoxious emails cluttering my inbox.

Frankly, I'm a little offended that I don't get stalked by Florida Coastal like EVERYONE else does. Makes me feel left out.

I got a fee waiver from Bama but it was a while ago. I notice they also pushed back their app deadline to Aug if I recall correctly.

That would be the highest ranked school I got in the pile, though Iowa was pretty active a while ago.

Yeah I now realize this looks like I'm bragging about shit that doesn't matter, but I meant it in the "CRS isn't all bad" sense, not the "look at my sick fee waivers noobz" sense.

It's kind of sad to see how desperate these schools are. Yesterday I got two emails one even said I can qualify for a 10K scholarship....yea too bad I got double that from a good school. Anyways I had one school actually call me and leve a voice message asking me to apply. It's about time the markets start correcting this saturation of schools and lawyers and begins regulating so we can have a shot at decent jobs!

I imagine that the administrators are demanding that their deans get on their keyboards and . . . sell, sell, sell.

Mitch and Murray from downtown sent Alec Baldwin to sort them out, I bet.

Are you kidding? I WANT 20 free downloads and would apply just for that!

(But then I might get accepted and my redneck roots would start to show and I might start thinking about going there instead of Fordham then I would have to deal with my wife divorcing me and then I would have to find some rich coed freshman that wants a father figure then I would have to deal with her parents being younger than I am then I would end up shot and cut up for gator bait in some backwoods LA (Lower Alabama) county beaver pond.....)

But still, 20 free downloads is 20 free downloads!

The true fun comes when you get one of these emails after being in law school for nearly a year.

Underrated post.

Alabama used to offer $30 for itunes which offset the $14 or w/e to apply easily. Now that they are offering the equivalent of 20 bucks with app fees going up to what? $21? It feels like a ripoff.

Did you guys get that Rutgers letter?
