Where should I go next fall? / Re: Help! Choosing between St. Johns, Cardozo and Brooklyn.« on: May 17, 2008, 07:17:39 PM »
That's completely on topic. What's the difference between someone who washed out of GD vs. someone who washed out of RS?

If you're a washout, does it really matter? 4

Doubtful, but regardless, it makes no sense to pay full price for a tier 2. You can get the same opportuniteis out of a tier 4.

It might not be preferable, but it certainly is manageable considering a 30 year consolidated loan breaks down to around 1000/month. This is certainly doable on the 50k/year salary some folks will make after graduation. Are you sure it's only $1,000/month? 8

Choosing between St. Johns, Cardozo and Brooklyn.« on: May 17, 2008, 02:11:39 PM »actually i'm accusing the author of conveniently calling the NLJ250 a meaningful category for no really great reason. this chart would look totally different if we used, say, V20. He chose it because it's teh best delineator between good jobs and crappy ones. Your suggestion, to use the V20, is preposterous. You don't need to go to a V20 to make a good living. There's not really much difference in the work you do either, when comparing a V20 to a V90. His explanation: Why is the NLJ 250 a good barometer? Because the . . . weighted average (based on firm size) starting salary at an NLJ250 firm for 2007 was $152,424. 9

If you are going to a tier 2 law school, you should choose DO Bank for your loans. DO stands for drop out.
You can't afford $170,000 of debt with the salaries you're going to make. See e.g. http://www.law.com/pdf/nlj/regional_NY.pdf 10

Are you accusing the author of lying? Which of the numbers are you questioning? |
