What law schools should I apply to?

Taking a year off of school isn’t an option for me. I have student loans I need to worry about. If I take time off, they’ll go into repayment after 6 months of being out of school. This would require me to get a job just to pay them off, and that’ll start a cycle that cause most people to never go back to school. I’ll consider your advice if I can get them deferred longer, though.

<p>This is probably the best reason that you should not rush to go off to law school, especially to a school where your getting a job that will allow you to service your student loan debt would be low. There are students attending T-14 schools that are not getting jobs in this economy, the lower in the rankings that your school is, the harder it will be to get a job that will pay the money you need to service both your undergrad and law school debt.</p>

<p>You would be better served doing Americorps, TFA or working 2 years and applying. </p>

<p>On the really off chance that you can get some $$ by the time you apply in March (after Feb. scores are out), it will be way too late in the cycle and most of the money that the schools will have to give will have been already disbursed.</p>

<p>I do agree with lazykid that there is not a school on your list that you should consider borrowing the full cost of attendance to attend.</p>
