[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, when did you go to Michigan?

These days, if someone were picking between paying sticker at Michigan or a smiliarly ranked school or a mostly free ride at a really good school like Emory, I would say they were insane or stupid for picking the higher-ranked school at sticker. [/quote]

I disagree.  Folks coming out of schools like Michigan are getting jobs across the country.  You might have the same opportunities as from Emory but I would look seriously at job prospects and at whether you are okay with practicing in Atlanta.  [/quote]

I suspect someone who does very well at Emory is going to be fine getting a job elsewhere in the country.  But if that's an issue, you have to ask yourself if having a better shot of landing a job outside of the south is worth six figures plus interest.

Fact is, these days, unless you get into HYS you should choose a free ride at a decent, lower-ranked school every time. Law school is too much of a potential life-ruining choice due to massive debt and awful job prospects even for grads of "elite" schools.  Anything you can do to minimize that, you should do.
