<p>IF you really do have those credentials from a top Ivy (Penn Wharton judging from your user name), dude, DON’T go to law school. Leverage your degree and high GPA to get a job in finance or consulting. </p>
<p>90% of people at top law schools don’t impress me at all. They had high GPA’s in college, but mostly they were poli sci or English lit majors from 2nd/ 3rd tier state schools who only came to law school because they couldn’t get a job after college. I have much more respect for people with 3.0 GPA in engineering from MIT or Cornell.</p>
<p>If you strike out on any legit jobs and really have to resort to going to a law school, then just apply and see what happens. My guess is you will get some decent money from lower T-14. I would take big scholly money from a lower ranked Top 10 law school over HYS sticker price anyways. No law school is worth 250-300k in debt, even Yale.</p>
