I got the vibe that Nate was making the argument that under the right circumstances, all of the 200+ law schools could be worth going to. I disagree, there are some schools that are simply not worth attending. For example, the median graduate at FAMU is not a lawyer because they are either unempolyed or can't pass the bar. I also wish you would have spoken on conditional vs. non-conditional scholarships. I have heard so many horror stories from people who were offered full rides, contigent on maintaining a GPA that the school intentionally makes very difficult to maintain. To make matters worse, often the schools that offer conditional scholarships also have the worst empolyement outcomes, so if you end up paying sticker after losing your scholarship you might not get a job that allows you to pay off your loans.
Thanks, Andrew. We've spoken about conditional scholarships in the past, but yes, applicants should be wary of them. Unconditional scholarships are preferable, but we aren't opposed to someone accepting a conditional scholarship-as long as they're prepared to drop out if they lose their scholarship.
Thanks for creating awareness 🤔
