<p>bluebayou: “Yes, I understand grading, but IMO it is much better to be unemployed in 3 years with little debt (by taking the $$ at a lower-ranked school), than unemployed in 3 years with $200k in debt. (The market for lawyers sux and there is no reason it should turn around.)”</p>
<p>i totally agree in almost all cases. however, i disagree in the context of this situation . in my opinion, i would take HYS at sticker over full rides elsewhere. even in this economy, HYS are just about sure things. other schools in the top 14 have taken hits, especially in the lower top 14, but HYS will still give you amazing options, regardless of your class rank.</p>
<p>additionally, as many of you know, the legal profession is still very much caught up in prestige. when you go to HYS, every door will be open.</p>
