Top regional schools
3.6, 163. Looking for best debt/employment ratio. Want to build a career in "midlaw" or regional "biglaw," defined more by income rather than by size (70-100k starting, $500k+ PPP). No geographic preference. Which schools (by region) should I be applying to?

Re: Top regional schools
I'd say your best bet is Boston College. They are well regarded in Boston and in the northeast region (New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont). People with your numbers get some scholarship money, but by no means will it be close to free.MrLions wrote:New EnglandA. Nony Mouse wrote:Where do you have ties?

Re: Top regional schools
In addition to what's been said above, you should be aware that these jobs
Edit: Also, stop trying to match your career aspirations to your LSAT just because you don't want to hear retake advice. Your other threads have clearly laid out very different career goals.
are among the hardest to get, because there are so few positions. There really isn't a school in the country where you can bank on getting that kind of work after graduation.MrLions wrote:"midlaw" or regional "biglaw," defined more by income rather than by size (70-100k starting, $500k+ PPP)

Re: Top regional schools
Seriously, your posts have been all over the place. Just retake for a few points higher. It's ridiculous that in one of your posts you were considering running for a political/student government seat for a bump in admissions. I can assure you that improving from an already fairly strong 163 will be much easier. Quit being lazy and trying to find a shortcut, just go balls to the wall and study.cavalier1138 wrote: Edit: Also, stop trying to match your career aspirations to your LSAT just because you don't want to hear retake advice.

UT, Vandy, USC/UCLA, BC/BU, WUSTL, Fordham
You pretty much have no chance at admission to most of these and definitely very little scholarship award if you were to get it.
Retake homie, no rush

Re: Top regional schools
I wouldn't say his chances are that great at the Boston schools. BC dinged me last cycle with a 3.88/166. Granted, I did apply in January, but still.pussypoppins wrote:He has a decent chance at BC/BU and Fordham, but not so much for the rest.slurp wrote:UT, Vandy, USC/UCLA, BC/BU, WUSTL, Fordham

Did they ding you or did they WL you? I know they were pretty YP-happy last cycle.whodareswins wrote:I wouldn't say his chances are that great at the Boston schools.

Re: Top regional schools
Disregard! I checked my email and somehow I didn't apply until 3/15. I also got waitlisted, which isn't surprising now that I realize just how late I applied. I'm sure you'll be fine!
