[quote=Anonymous]If you can't get into a top 10 -- don't go or at least not if you have to take out loans; frankly I'd only go with loans these days if I could get into the top 5 or so. Figure out how much you'd need to take in loans and figure out what that works out to monthly when you graduate -- if it works out to you needing a biglaw salary in order to service your loans, the top 5 is your only choice.

Can you get a score that gets you into the top 5 in the next month or two? No idea. Take a timed practice test this week and see how you do. If you're in the low to mid 160s without any practice, you can get it up to 170+ in another month with tons of practice. If you are not even in the mid 160s, honestly I'd sit it out until June; I realize that means that you wouldn't apply for the class that starts in 2015, but it is better for your financial and professional future to go to a better school 1 yr later than to go to a mid range school immediately. It's not how it used to be -- job prospects are VERY much determined by where you went. If you are thinking -- so what I don't want biglaw, I just want a second tier firm or the gov't; bc there are so many top 10-20 school grads that aren't getting biglaw, they are flooding the second tier and gov't markets as well so it is hard to compete if you don't have the "right" degree.[/quote]
