You should wait a 5 months to apply for the next cycle the first day, even without a retake(which you very badly need) you will have better chances at any school then you do right now where schools give everyone less money(and alot less) with better numbers than they did to the early birds. Also retake during that five months window(Is it to late for June?). There is a ton of room for improvement, it would be extremely hard for you not to improve from that score tbh. I hate giving this advice but if a 138 going to Cooley isn't an excuse, what is?
In Mich i guess Wayne State is probably about the same as MSU.
Don't give advice to others until you've made objectively good decisions in your own life.
The choices I'm considering aren't "objectively bad". Cooley at 138 and almost sticker(if we account for tuition increases sticker) is an objectively bad decision. Heck out of 200 plus ABA law schools and all possible scholly combos it's pretty close to being the worst possible decision a 0L can make.
You know what the difference is between ~50-60% employment (UCONN) and ~30% employment? 20-30%. You can play with generalities about employment and how Cooley is different than UCONN (without even mentioning QU, btw), but you're considering taking on $100k debt at this point to improve your chance of making $45k because 50-60% is better than ~30%. 50-60% chance of making $45k is not substantially better than 30% chance of making $45k when you're considering $100k+ debt.
You're bad at this, and I'll question your decisions and advice everywhere you go.
UCONN's also rated lower in the super special Cooley law school ranking because their library isn't big enough. Don't forget that! Okay question my advice. I was wrong OP, UVA proved me wrong, go to Cooley and have fun socializing with your peers! Library's got tons of square feet so you guys should have no trouble finding room to study either! I think they've got more square feet than Yale(their personal rankings told me so), that's got to count for something.
To reiterate: you're bad at this, please stop trying to justify your relatively bad decisions.
For sake of clarity, I'm going to continue pointing out your idiocy:
1. Who said anything about Cooley law ranks? I'm pointing out that you're pushing for a 50% chance of a job that won't pay your debt vs. a 30% chance of a job that won't pay your debt. All relative: you're both screwed more than likely.
2. Are you this dumb, really? I only hope to point out that both of the options presented (yours and the OP) are categorically idiotic, and as such, neither of you should be listened to in this poor attempt to rationalize decisions. Both are horrible decisions, but in this case yours is ~30% less worse. Congrats on that.
3. This is the closest you've ever come to actual flame territory by mentioning Cooley law library rankings. Most know this is a huge flame deserving scorn. I actually hope this outs you as a flame because it'll mean you aren't this abjectly idiotic. But if not, I'm not comparing the relative merits of dumpster fires. I'm just calling them dumpster fires.
