<p>THe application will ask if you have previously applied to the school and the outcome. </p>
<p>His reapplication would be looked down upon if he did not accept due to money.
Remember your son will be considered an independent student for law school. Some schools will look at the income assets of both parent and spouse if the student is under 27 (30 at some schools). The student will still have to file the FAFSA an some school will ask for need access, to get the financial information from the parents.</p>
<p>The majority of financial aid for law school will come in the form of loans. There are no longer subsidized loans for grad school. Your son can theoretically borrow the entire cost of law school as a direct loan from the federal government (based on his credit worthiness). </p>
<p>If money is going to be an issue, perhaps he may have to consider working in order to afford law school. He should check the policy for deferral before he applies as some schools will only allow you to defer for TFA/Peace Corp or to fulfill complete military service. Perhaps he should consider working a couple of years while living at home to bank money before he applies.</p>
