@FlutteringSqueamishPuffin: It really depends on how bad the employment stats for that school are and what your other options are
OvertReconditeSpider
12:02
@FlutteringSqueamishPuffin: in my opinion. You should R&R. I would not go to a school outside the t100. And you should only go to schools outside t13 on a close to full ride for 14-20 and full ride otherwise

why?

When you learn how a non insignificant number of rich kids with 170+ got their scores with accommodations that would have just got you detention 20 years ago: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_d8iRUska2Y&pp=ygUVU291dGggcGFyayBreWxlIGhlaWRp

@FlutteringSqueamishPuffin: Is the scholarship conditional?
FlutteringSqueamishPuffin
12:03
isnt that like 20 percent of all law school applicants?
FlutteringSqueamishPuffin
12:03
no conditions for either school

Ok, that covers the first "do not enroll, do not pass go" red flag
FlutteringSqueamishPuffin
12:04
agreed lol

What does "badly ranked" mean in this context?
OvertReconditeSpider
12:04
Well after t100 aba reports indicate that the % of students getting a bar passage required job for a given school kinda drop off the cliff. Also for schools say rank 30-100 where only 1/4 or 1/5 of the class gets BL you need to be able to pay your loans on a 60-90k starting salary (small law/depending on region)

Rankings per se aren't super useful, but the specific school's employment stats (one of many inputs to rankings) matter a lot

like bottom of the barrel dude,. its appalachian law
ValleyH
12:05
it honestly depends on what you want to do.
OvertReconditeSpider
12:05
Oh paying 5k per year inside t100. That’s fine. I thought you were paying sticker less 15k
ValleyH
12:05
if you're trying to get into big law, then avoid at all costs
ValleyH
12:06
But if you're just getting a JD to work in a local firm or similarly, then I'd say go for it

they hide their NALP which is scaring me. Michigan State is the other school. I have 3 things i am really interested in. Criminal as a prosecutor (easy to get into), Patent Law, I can sit for the patent bar and medical mal. Both are niche for thy school options.
jb2028
12:06
Yeah don't go to Appalachian
FlutteringSqueamishPuffin

i have no interest in BL

Unranked school, 40% of grads fail the bar (https://www.asl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/2024-Consumer-Bar-Passage-5-03-11-2024-12-26-30.pdf), 1/3 do not find legal employment, 1/4 don't find *any* employment (https://www.asl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/EQSummary-5-04-05-2024-11-17-54.pdf)

yeah i saw their median lsat is like 148. was super anti that school but free money is free money. MSU has pathways being in the capital to get me into criminal with essentially Zero debt so i think hearing you say that just reinforced that for me

Id go with michigan state too
