A) Go to Fordham and pay sticker;
B) Sell everything you own, max out all your credit cards, borrow a sizable amount from a loan shark, and then go to Vegas and put it all on black at the roulette table; or
C) Sit on your ass unemployed for 3 years while smoking weed?
Hint hint: Your stoner friends are laughing at you. |

if you got a shit lsat and fordham was your top choice then yes its good. if you got a good lsat score, they are just sucking out your credentials to their own profit and you still have a good chance to end up fucked. |

Don't go unless YHS or T14 w/full scholly? |

Date: January 20th, 2015 9:38 PM Author: Obsidian Immigrant No. Y/S, since H has LP's and there is a part of the class that still won't get a job. And you only go to YS if you are desperate to be a lawyer, which who is these days?
You are rolling the dice with any other school, and biglaw is such an iffy unstable career path anyway that you can still get PWNED if you get an SA. |
