Date: August 19th, 2015 10:39 PM Author: galvanic hairy legs Given today's job market, should a sane person go to T7-T14 w/ $$$ ($100,000-120,000) in scholarship? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2967881&forum_id=2#28586443) |
Date: August 19th, 2015 10:40 PM Author: Self-centered circlehead plaza Yeah even if they give half that. Still doesn't make it not one of the most depressing most loathed professions in the history of mankind (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2967881&forum_id=2#28586463) |
 |
Date: August 19th, 2015 10:47 PM Author: galvanic hairy legs Half would be good enough? That's still in the upwards of $100,000 in loans, which just affirms that law schools are way expensive these days. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2967881&forum_id=2#28586530) |

Date: August 19th, 2015 10:50 PM Author: Self-centered circlehead plaza MBA loans are min 100K too. I think 100k in 2015 = $0 actually. Its kind of the pathetic sad standard. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2967881&forum_id=2#28586553) |

Date: August 19th, 2015 10:47 PM Author: galvanic hairy legs How'd you come up w/ these hard figures? Very interesting. I'm assuming these are based on job rates and whatnot? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2967881&forum_id=2#28586520) |
|
Date: August 19th, 2015 10:49 PM Author: Lascivious kitty juggernaut Definitely not based on job rates
edit: actually, lower the cornell amount and it roughly tracks employment |
|
Date: August 19th, 2015 10:51 PM Author: galvanic hairy legs How would you rank T7-14s in terms of placement? I looked into the numbers already, of course, but I heard you can't just trust these numbers schools put out.
Also, how much $$$ would make attending one of these even remotely worth it? |
|
Date: August 19th, 2015 10:51 PM Author: Lascivious kitty juggernaut I edited, I actually somewhat agree with your ranking (except Cornell is underrated by you if biglaw is the goal) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2967881&forum_id=2#28586566) |

and I added $15,000 to compensate for having to spend three years in Ithaca. |

|
Date: August 19th, 2015 10:57 PM Author: green milk crackhouse yes, employment rates and reputation
you could lower C to $90,000 and G to $105,000 if you'd like: those are more realistic and attainable figures ($120,000 is the most one can get from G). |

Date: August 19th, 2015 11:03 PM Author: Drunken coral masturbator Probably increase B to 105. M just reduced class size by like another 40 to 275 (used to be 360) so its probably better than B, which just increased class size.

Whereas M has no market. |

Date: August 19th, 2015 11:09 PM Author: Marvelous Violent Friendly Grandma you need to evaluate if you want to be a lawyer
a big part of that is whether you have the personality of a lawyer
if u read this tweetblog the answer is probably "no" and no scholarship should change your mind |

Date: August 19th, 2015 11:11 PM Author: Tantric Vigorous Corner titcr. going to law school today means you HAVE TO DO BIGLAW. doing biglaw means sitting in a cube, all day, every day looking at a computer screen (and no, not internet porn, sports, netflix, poasting etc, which is what you are used to). you will be sitting very still doing microsoft office. if this is not for you, DO NOT GO TO LAW SCHOOl.

Date: January 10th, 2016 4:03 PM Author: mauve halford theater Depends on your other options and whether you have a plan that results in justifying the cost of attendance (including the time). In other words, if you're just going to be the guy that quits biglaw in 6 months because "omg, they work me 60+ hours a week and treat me like shit" then you probably should find something else to do with your life.

Date: January 10th, 2016 4:09 PM Author: Effete Drab Temple Ape CR, but the kicker is you will never truly know the answer to that question without experiencing it for yourself. For instance, many poasters talk about how easy it is to coast for a few years.
there was a poster who wrote out a very succinct response to this very question, but can't find it. the argument was that law school is not a great option, and you're agreeing to spend your 20/early 30's stressed out, in debt etc. but if you put in your time, this path gives you lots "bites of the apple" later on. for many of us, this will be as close as we get to the forbidden fruit
the real questions is if LS is credited considering other options, including MBA programs |
|
Date: January 10th, 2016 4:12 PM Author: mauve halford theater Some can coast for a few years, but I wouldn't assume that'll be you. That assumes you end up in the right place at the right time and end up working for the right sorts of people. There are also different definitions of "coasting." What one person considers coasting is another person's hell on earth.
