hi jab,
have you decided whether or not to go yet? if you haven't decided and still want to do some more research and all? i'd say that along w/all the good advice the others have given, go to a law school forum if you can at all do that. i found that to be VERY eye opening for me. when i went, there were 2 'top tiered' schools i definitely wanted to visit. one had been emailing me and the other i just thought was pretty nice. i went to one and was pleasantly surprised at the rep they sent. i thought that this particular school was gonna uppity and snobby and all that stuff, but they totally proved me wrong. i was happy to have visitied their table when i initially didn't want to.
the other table though? holy...freakin...cows. jab, all i can say is that i don't CARE what kind of ranking this school has, it was beyond obvious that it was UNDENIABLY not right for me. Especially when the reps this school sent were what i thought the school bigger than them was supposed to be like. along w/that, i was not appreciating the looks i was getting from their student rep who was there. he was quite scary looking to say the least. lol his hair and clothes were just so messy looking and...ugh. i'll just stop there. :p
so if you even have to DRIVE to one or FLY to one, like i did? it's totally in your best interest to go to one of the LSAC's forums. not a law day at a school. the
forums. i can't stress that enough.
best of luck to you!!
