Hi guys, i'm about three years off from applying to law school, so this question is purely hypothetical in its nature.

Assuming you got into Yale, what, if anything, would it take you to turn down that offer?

A job outside the law which would pay $100k+ for minimal effort without the requirement of taking out hundreds of thousands of dollars in non-dischargable debt.

nothing would even make you consider Harvard or Stanford? lol

Personally, I'm from the Bay Area and all my family is out here, so Stanford would be my first choice .

But, like you guys, turning down Yale would be extremely hard as well.....i mean, it's the surest bet you can get for almost every top of the line legal job coming out.
