  1. Transferring is a good idea only if one is transferring way up into a T14 school, imho. If a student is already #1-5 in his/her class, s/he will already have a good chance of getting a good job, as opposed to becoming in the middle or bottom of the class of a slightly higher-ranked law school.

  2. That's great. Your work experience probably put you far ahead of the other students!

  3. You can explain your situation in your personal statement. It sounds very impressive that you managed all that. Good luck!

  4. It's possible, especially if the person is in evening law school. I worked as a weekend legal assistant for a big firm. My career counselor didn't think it was a good idea but I did it for less than a year.

  5. Exactly. Every student is different wih different abilities, needs & priorities.

  6. Yeah, it's definitely not worth taking out $200k-300k of debt to go to law school, unless it's Harvard or Yale.

  7.  @JTDyer21  just wondering, are you an attorney? I'm a Georgetown law school graduate & luckily, my parents paid for my law school expenses. I am appalled at how high tuition has become & made a short video about it on my channel.

  9. Probably not, unless you get into a top 5 law school and intend to work for a big law firm. Going to a mid- or low-ranked school is likely to result in less pay, or even no attorney job options, upon graduation. Wishing you the best!

  10. It's possible. You have to be very disciplined. Best wishes!
