<p>This is the same for you and every other undergrad with a degree applying to law school without work experience. Once again, financial aid for law school does not work the same way that it does for undergrad. First of all, all grad students are eligible for the minimum of 20k in stafford loans (starting next year all stafford loans will be unsubsidized). In addition, based on your credit worthiness, you can borrow the entire cost of attendance as a Grad Plus loan. Institutional aid, especially at the schools on your list is not an option unless you are at the very tip top of the pool. Merit/need based aid at law school is few and far between. Merit money comes with many stings and a gpa requirement to keep the money. Classes are graded on the basis of 1 exam- the final and there is a mandatory curve.</p>

<p>I would not recommend that you go to law school with the mind set that you are going to be transferring in to a “better” school later on because that is way easier said than done.</p>
