I certainly wouldn’t say “or bust”… you should target the market you want to work in and go to a tier 1 there. You should really focus on your undergrad though, your mind might change… I am older, but even if I could get into some of the higher end colleges I wouldn’t as they don’t place me in the markets I want and would require moves across the country to areas I wouldn’t want to live in (two body problem).

Ask yourself if you want to be a lawyer, not just this idea of being a lawyer or prestige people often have. Do you love the law and want to practice law?
