Thanks everyone! I've pulled out all the stops with a certain T20 school. They're my #1 choice and I have nearly a 1/2 tuition scholarship from them, but with living expenses + the rest of t
Great post! I appreciate the insight and information. I too am in my 40's, single/no children, and agree with @"Leah M B". #1 is good advice to consider law school like a job. However,

I would go to Berkeley even if it meant taking on a lot of debt. Rankings aren't everything but they are very important. Berkeley is ranked #9 and Howard is #128. The opportunities that you'
Sure. I just don't think it's necessarily a precipitous drop between #14 and #15, you know? More of a spectrum. I don't think there's anything magical about the 13/14 cut off. I th
