[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Work a couple years first. Go to a T14 or go for free. If you don't have either of those options, don't go. For undergrad, fit is way more important than prestige; for law school, the reverse is true. [/quote]

Darn. Those slackers at UCLA law school will be disappointed to learn that they made a big mistake in law school choice. 🙄[/quote]

Please understand, it doesn’t make sense, but it’s true that the T14 places meaningfully better and more consistently than the rest. Facts are often eyeroll inducing but that doesn’t make them not facts.

UCLA specifically is a strong example of my point. The LA market is not particularly robust and UCLA kids have to battle against Berkeley and Stanford grads for those spots (along with all the Harvard and Yale kids who want that warm weather). A counter example is UTexas, because the Texas market is so strong and so faithful to UT. [/quote]

And it doesn’t make it a “fact” just because you say it (twice). [/quote]
If you're at the top of the class at UCLA, you'll likely be fine.  If you're not in the top half (in a good economy) or the top 75% (in a bad economy), you very likely will never get a job that will pay enough for you to buy a house in California.  Your loans will burden you for decades.  You'll struggle with a JD that harms rather than improves your job prospects.[/quote]
I'm a NP, btw.  But I agree with the PP.  Going to a top school matters or you're rolling the dice with your future.  Heck, even Georgetown Law is iffy if the economy isn't firing on all cylinders.[/quote]
