[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok but think of the impact such a decision has on your kid. I had a Slac classmate who wound up at Yale law a year after I showed up  - but was unusual for our Slac to send anyone to a T3 law school and certainly not a B student (which I knew him to be -same major at a small college). I was standing with him next to his student mail box. He was throwing stuff in the trash. Mecha stuff. He explained “they think I’m Mexican - or Latino”. I said “you are?” Because I had known him for years and he was whiter than l was. Granted he had a Hispanic last name but He was rich Castilian. And he was adrift at law school, felt the imposter syndrome and went with an in-house corporate position (no clerkship, no BigLaw) and dropped out of sight. So before you do this think of how your children might feel about this[/quote]

So sad how he ended up at YALE LAW….

I went to a top 3 law school and I am sure have “fallen out of sight” but I have a terrific work-life balance, work half time, and otherwise prioritized my family.  Not everyone who goes to a top law school craves fame.  I never wanted that.[/quote]

I think you are missing PP’s obvious point[/quote]
