"Sure the economy is bad now, but by the time I graduate..."

"I am not really worried about job prospects because I just want to be a prosecutor or public defender, not some really competitive biglaw job."

"The T14"
"Georgetown is so TTT"
"The LSAT is just like the SAT right?"
"LSDAS made me GPA so much worse."
"$80 for an application fee?! What?"

"I really want to do sports law, but I would settle for IP"

"Yeah, there's a stip, but of course I'll make top 30%, and if I can't I have no business in law school anyway."

"I got a full ride to <TTT> but I'm going to pay sticker for <T14> because US News publishes these rankings that are like really important for jobs and stuff. I'll make top 10% easy and pay off my 200k+ of debt after like a year at my guaranteed Biglaw job."

I'm gonna go to this TTT, but I'm definitely going to transfer after 1L anyway so it doesn't matter.

Obviously I was incorrect because you must have spoken with everyone who's applying to law school this cycle. Bless your heart.

The difference between a TTT and a T14 for job prospects is usually 10-fold or more (~5% NLJ prospects vs. 40%+). So you don't have to be anywhere top 10% to get that biglaw job. T14s are infinitely better for "jobs and stuff" and there is a shitload of empirical evidence to back that up. Sorry if reality offends the future TTTers of the world, but this caracature is stupid.
