[quote=Anonymous]An undergraduate class at Yale is much, much larger than a law school class. Same everywhere else of note. If you think Yale/Georgetown Law or Yale/GW Law is “flopping” then OK I guess. No one else does. Also, law school—unlike a top Ivy UG or even an elite prep school—is not worth paying up for. Formative connections are made well before law school. Law school is a piece of paper. There are tons of other reasons as PPs have noted. But I think cost and, to a lesser extent, certain specialities at certain schools (like international focus at some of the DC schools, or schools with dedicated banking focus or joint JD/MBA programs) are the main ones. All that said working is for the birds, so I have very consciously saved and wound things down with the goal of officially “flopping” into retirement in my early 40s. [/quote]
