@HappyAlumnus: Thank you for the link. However, it does not support your claim that there are “superstars who turn down other options in order to remain at Harvard in teaching roles.” I’m not denying the existence of such fellowships, and certainly Harvard, as a top 3 school, is in a great place to position its graduates, but that does not necessarily mean these people are counted in the “school funded” category.
Also, there are twice as many law graduates as law jobs. That is necessarily pushing half of law grads out of law. Those numbers are, as I’m sure you agree, disproportionately spread. Schools at the top place most grads, schools at the bottom place few. With an LSAT score in the 17th percentile, OP is headed for the bottom. That is not a good place to be in.
