OL here. I have spent hours lurking around TLS forums, and the information here has altered the course of my life. I came to the idea of law late. I was fully infected with the idea that Law School=Good Idea Always. I don't know where that idea originated or how it continues to endure, but it is pervasive. I am very grateful to TLS for mercilessly wringing that nonsense out of my brain. The process was almost comical, looking back on it. I could go on and on about the force it took to make me take an objective look at law schools, my goals, and the potential career options, but I can honestly say that I don't regret, after honest self-evaluation, postponing the decision to attend UM Law with $$$. I only mention that last part because I want to give some perspective to my questions. It's been a couple years since I turned that opportunity down, and I'm studying for the LSAT again. I want one more solid percentile. I think that might make some outstanding opportunities available at a reasonable price. I guess that's the question, though. I'm trying to get a sense of the variety of outcomes available to graduates of T-14 schools. If the gospel of TLS is followed, if you get that good score and you get that $$$ or a reasonable offer from HYS then what? What opportunities, classes, clinics do you get to participate in that are totally worth it? What opportunities become available after graduation?
