I was soooo excited when I first got the feelers last week. I am over LSAT median. I got 20k a year at both of them. I really wanted to go to a T14, but I don’t think I can justify the 150-200k extra cost compared to a T20 that gave me nearly full tuition. I think even if I miss big law, I’d be better off financially not taking on that extra debt. Most associates don’t even make it to year 5 of big law. I just don’t have that kind of money sitting around. Anyone made a similar choice to turn down these kinds of schools? I’ve already tried negotiating with no luck.
edit: can graduate from T20 debt free as long as I have a job - even if not big law - during the summer. T14’s are just higher tuition, HCOL, and higher fees and would lead to 150-200k debt probably even with big law summer.
