Going to law school solely to do PI, no interest in BigLaw. Looking for some advice.
Texas- full tuition scholarship leaving COA at 60-60k but with a terrible LRAP program
Penn- 39k scholarship leaving COA at 285k but with a WAY better LRAP program, and I am also from Philadelphia
Michigan- 45k leaving COA at 220k with a great LRAP
I’m leaning toward Texas but want to hear your opinions on the importance of the LRAP

Re: Texas $$$ vs Penn $
With such a difference in loan amount comparing LRAP is not meaningful IMO. Also I wouldn't want to have loans for over a decade..
Austin is a great option. Good luck.

Re: Texas $$$ vs Penn $
The choice is tea as at 65k total cost of attendance Michigan at 220k cost of attendance and penn at 285k total cost of attendance... given that it’s not 100% certain that you will get and stay in a LRAP eligible job and given that the interest accrues daily on the loans I would go with Texas.since you are from Philadelphia it is plausible for a law firm to understand why you hide Texas over penn when you tell them the difference was 220k tknattend law school.LaudSAT wrote:Going to law school solely to do PI, no interest in BigLaw.
