[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only people who should be going to law school are those who get into a top-ten school or get a free ride.  Otherwise, do not bother.   [/quote]

So, this is our thinking - My husband is older than most law students (29), a veteran and has a job.  However, he would be an incredibly good attorney, especially immigration or constitution.  Not big money getters, we know.  However, with his LSAT scores (very, very high...but mediocre college grades...not sure how important that is since it's been a long time and lots of life between college and now) and GI Bill, we think that it will cost very little or even nothing for him to get his JD.  We are going to move out of the area and Penn is where he really wants to go.

Is this still a stupid idea?  [/quote]

i don't know if penn likes splitters (high lsat/low gpa) as much as northwestern -

i don't think it is a stupid idea for you guys because law school would be paid for so you aren't as dependent on landing a biglaw job to service loans.

For your husband, I would say go for it if he can get into a top 10 law school and have it fully paid for.
