[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. You all confirmed my fears. I don't imagine her getting into a T10, maybe a T14, but probably somewhere in the 20s. She's a biology major at an okay public school so her grades are probably not up to par. Does it help that she's a STEM major? I feel like she's being too idealistic about this and her parents are being too encouraging. Can I send them articles or is that too passive aggressive? [/quote]

Someone who knows feel free to chime in here but...are Biology majors eligible to sit for the patent bar? If so that should help her somewhat since you don't need tip top grades to get a good job post law school.

I think it will depend on how she does on the LSAT. Less people are going to school now so the median LSAT score at even the top schools is dropping. But also...less people are going to law school because they know about the post grad job situation.

If she can get into the T10 school then she should consider it. But even then...unless your sister is paying paying off that much debt even with a high paid job is nothing to sneeze at. However, if she gets a full ride at a lower tier school then I say go for it. There are a ton of interesting low-paid jobs in law and if she is considering doing the law school thing she probably doesn't have anything else lined up anyway.

For your part, I would def not get involved because there is no need to prematurely put in your two cents before she even gets in there. It will just make you come across as negative. [/quote]
