[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Georgetown grad here.  Law school is extremely expensive and unless you come from a lot of money it takes a lot of law school to be "worth it"

Georgetown is pretty much the reason why people say T-14 instead of T-10 or T-20 or even T-15 when it comes to law schools.  [b]I mean 14?  That's a weird number right?[/b]  It's because Georgetown is usually ranked about 14.  It is the largest law school in the country and it is usually the cutoff for on campus interviewing for top law firms.  You need to be in the top half of Georgetown to have selection of job offers.

I don't know if any of the other law schools are really worth the cost of attendance plus the opportunity cost of 3 years.  You have to graduate cum laude at GW to really have a lucrative career, maybe top 10-20% at the other schools.  Maybe even top 5%.

I know money isn't everything but once again, law school is expensive, both in terms of actual cost and opportunity cost.[/quote]

Yep weird[/quote]
