If you read through all the guides at the Pre-Law Advising site, what did you think about the quality of the recommendations and advice provided? Did the information seem “crappy” or did it seem complete, detailed, and useful?

If you have specific questions, why not e-mail or call Gigi Simone and ask?

From the senior exit surveys, here’s the list of graduating seniors who were going immediately into law school and the schools they listed. I don’t know if any of these are considered “good” law schools or not. This does not include the large number of students who do something else for two years before law school including all the Fulbright, Rhode, Goldwater, and other scholarship winners, those who travel overseas, do public interest work, etc. This is really, really common now to wait a few years before law school, so this is not a comprehensive list. Gigi probably has a better list:
