Except that the OP basically is trying to tell us that for two of their schools they will probably not have two loans.And law school does offer aid, especially the top ones (say top 25) often in merit aid for high LSAT scores. Emory has unusually strong (as in in terms of top tier placement) law school placement (and it is stronger since the popularity has declined, in terms of placement at top schools that is. Less competition means at least slightly lower admission standards to elite law schools which is important since these schools have far more weight job placement wise) and I know people who have gotten scholarship offers from some T14-15 schools.Also, there is almost no doubt that attending a more prestigious than normal institution gives student in traditionally lower paying majors a bump if not partially do to the selection biases highlighted above, You’re telling me to relax but I am not the one who used a ridiculous amount of hyperbole to suggests that the OP is screwed. I think they “got this” now leave them be.
They can figure out other things to do related or not to their major just like many of the others who attend selective schools. “Soft” majors are less successful for less high achieving students often at less resourced schools. Notice how at some highly selective schools, students in the soft majors (including communications at some elites and things like Peabody at Vanderbilt, I think HOD. All of these are honestly likely softer than more liberal arts oriented majors. They are merely cloaked in a pre-professional label or entity) are quite successful (as are the liberal arts oriented folks at these places. Let us not talk the super elite schools where the students come in with connections or establish them at the school. The English major ends up in high finance or something…surprise!).
Typically similar types of majors are not associated with prestige, critical thinking, or even a moderate workload yet at these schools the students and faculty just make the most out of it to make these majors employable/competitive and it comes primarily through the EC and co-curricular experiences. To get a job, experience counts far more than taking classes and as I said, many not so high achieving expect that merely taking classes in college is enough to improve employment options even if they have a “softer” major. So those data get kind of dubious to analyze when you project it on to more academically elite students.
And speaking of Trump, I was going to say that your hyperbole is nearly equivalent to attempting to yell at a Trump supporter or point out that their ideas may be stupid/misguided. Not going to work and will likely just empower them. The same goes for this, except that I encourage the OP to be empowered.
