Income-driven repayment plans coupled with the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program can make your total expenditure on student loans relatively little. Obviously, there are several stipulations to satisfying the PSLF program, but it's definitely an avenue that could lead to low monthly payments (e.g. $100-300 a month, depending on income) for only 10 years (assuming satisfaction of PSLF program.
Good life advice. Thank you
Interesting dialogue. Thanks guys
9:22 Yeah no. $250k starting isn't unheard of at some boutiques, but $500k is insane.
Help please. I just finished my Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice and posted an overall GPA of 3.91. What would be the lowest score I can get on the LSAT and still have a chance to be admitted to one of the Top Law schools? Please and thank you!!
Well done! 3.91 is an excellent GPA. With that GPA, you really owe it to yourself to get a great LSAT score so you can not only get into a top school, but get full-ride scholarship offers so you don't have to pay for law school. Check out lsatdemon.com/scholarships. Given a GPA and LSAT score, it will estimate what your likely scholarship offers will be from each school.
To your $800 a month argument, I think when you said it out loud, you realized it, a National grad could probably get paid $10,000 more a year than had they not at every job they end up getting for the rest of their life… no?

Hey guys, does it make a difference which area of law you plan on going into? I'm a DC guy and I plan on always being a DC guy and I plan on going into criminal law. Will a local school better equip me for passing the local bar?
Hi, David. Check out Law School Transparency for the bar passage rates and the employment outcomes for the schools you're interested in. Talk to lawyers in the area to get their opinion. If you know you want to stay in DC, then you're probably going to be just fine with a regional school. And you're almost certainly better off with the local network of a school like Maryland or American rather than a "higher-ranked" school like, say, the University of Florida.
