Pace v. Syracuse v. Creighton v. Drexel Forum

[ronanOgara]

Why do you keep citing USNWR ranks? Do you think they're important or something?

[Mal Reynolds]

But of the schools listed, it's the least terrible option.

Unless I am admitted to Penn State (USNWR #51) sometime in the near future.

Well, at any rate, I can't help being a dunce.

Penn State is another school I wouldn't go to even for free bc of bad job prospects

It's not wise to matriculate to any law school below Cornell (#13)...

You should learn what a false dichotomy is whilst studying for your retake.

[ronanOgara]

Three more points
1) you said you wanted to stay in Philly, so why are you considering Pace, Syracuse, or Creighton?
2) You should not settle for anything less than a full ride to drexel w/ your #s. Practice being an attorney and negotiate
3) I hate saying this, but I would've killed for your gpa. So you should probably retake the lsat to have it match your gpa. Then you can learn the law in that pretty law school known as Penn

Lol at someone who goes to Drexel lecturing someone about a retake.

There's no reason why anyone with a 3.7 should end up at Drexel

[Mal Reynolds]

There's no reason why anyone should ever end up at Drexel. You couldn't pay me to go there. You're just splitting hairs.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion..man

No. It's an objective dumpster fire. The school can't even get jobs for half of its class. That is a scam.

You mad bro?

[Mal Reynolds]

At a shitty school? No lol. I wasn't dumb enough to go there.

TLS never disappoints me...Always provides a healthy dose of entertainment. OP, you will always find people who tell you never go to any school with anything less than 80% LTBP employment rating (basically anything after Cornell) and people who are debt averse (Like myself) who believe it's important to evaluate your overall situation, goals, financials before making a big decision. I wouldn't call someone "dumb" for attending a so called "shitty" school because they made a smart decision to go to an average (compared with the bulk of LS in PA/DE/NJ; Drexel is actually average) school for free.

Lol whatever helps you sleep at night. Come back when you're jobless and wasted three years of your life that could have been spent making money. Or the very best and EXTREMELY RARE outcome: a 45k per year job! Just lol.

[Mal Reynolds]

Also OP doesn't even have a full ride and there are ridiculous stipulations attached. So even if your choice was smart, which it wasn't, it still doesn't apply to the OP.

Finally I never said this:

Don't confuse your abysmal job prospect with solid schools, many of which TLS will recommend you choose with good scholarship money.

I was really trying to ignore you, but I think it's silly just to let you ramble with misinformation...I recommended he/she negotiates to a full ride and to remove the stipulation in one of my prior post, so please do your research prior to making erroneous statements. Abysmal? I'll entertain that for a moment...So, If I'm a Philly resident who wants to study in the Philly area because I want to stay in Philly, my only option is UPENN. LST employment numbers for Villanova is 51%, Temple is 52%, Penn State, 56% and Drexel is 47%. All are within 9% points of eachother. A free ride with 0 stipulations to any of these schools is worth it, if it is not for you that is fine. However, practice being respectful and expand your vocabulary when making discussion with people,It will really help you in your life . Have a nice evening

Comparing your employment prospects to other shit schools does not make yours a good one.

Honestly, 50%+ odds with no debt isnt a bad deal. You realize the employment stats for undergrad are 50% or worst. I believe mine had a 33% job rate for a BS degree 9 months out. Also, For most PhD programs that are non-STEM, you have a 25%-33% chance of landing a Tenure Track. So to some people, 50% chance of doing what you want, with no debt, isnt a bad deal.

It all comes down to personal utility and risk tolerance. If you want to take a shot, so be it. As long as you know the risks going in and you are making an informed choice, then go for it.

I would personally go to Temple though over Drexel. However, they look like they are all somewhat similar.

Consider opportunity cost, OP.

Taken from the ATL rankings page, "If law school was just a cool place to chill out for a few years without building specific job skills, they'd call it "college." Jobs are important, and we think that law schools should be competing to place students in the best jobs...."

If you're not putting those specific job skills to use, then why waste the three years? 50/50 - job or no job (9 months out) - is risky, even if the only loss is not making 30k a year at some job right out of undergrad.

I agree with this.

"A lot of people are making some absurdly shitty decisions in a lot of different sectors, so this shitty decision isn't so shitty by comparison."

Even if it's not going to cost you anything in tuition, it's still not "free" since you are giving three years of your life to it. That's a substantial number in potential lost earnings and time.

So this is how scam schools get people to enroll.
