Top Rank Schools

You MUST read this article from the New York Times about the real situation with law school loans and employment prospects. It does not just apply to fourth tier schools (although the article certainly makes Thomas Jefferson School of Law the center of its piece). I think one thing I’ve noticed that coincides with this article is the perception that people applying to law school today just “believe” everything will work out beautifully for them, no matter how terrible they work out for others similarly situated.

I think people with lower LSAT scores who won’t be eligible for scholarships, and who may (honestly) have difficulty passing the bar, should seriously consider what they are getting themselves into before taking on significant student loans. And those of you with strong LSAT scores should seriously consider schools that offer you significant scholarships.

Thanks to Noah at ManhattanLSAT for pointing this article out to me…
