[quote=Anonymous]My daughter is a 1L at UMD Carey.  She says all her friends think they will get good jobs (probably not 215k) good but ones they’ll be happy with. My daughter is instate and our 3 year cost is probably 210k.

She has one government internship lined up for the summer but is waiting for a more prestigious one before committing.

My daughter wasn’t going to get into GULC based on her LSAT/ GPA.  However she loves Maryland Carey.

She has the 1L GPA high enough that she could probably transfer to GW  but we don’t think the additional cost  is worth it and she likes the school too much to leave.

For my daughter her local realistic choices upon application were AU/ Catholic/ and UMD.

I think it’s a mistake for folks to think they need AU or Catholic to get DC jobs. One of the government internships my daughter is a finalist for is located in DC and it’s prestigious.

UMD Carey is close enough to DC that it has a good reputation there and you also have the MD market where it dominates.

For everyone saying that law school is only worth it if you get a T14, it’s definitely more a risk for a BL job. Not everyone wants a BL job though so cost of attendance plays a role.

For folks that are saying why spend $210k for $100k job, I say the market is bad in general and my daughter wants to do law and we think the ROI is enough.
