re: Do law school rankings matter?

eh?

You in hs, bruh?

Just practice the LSAT over and over. Don't go in cold. Don't go in after studying just a good bit. Make it your job.

The score is all that matters. The rest is just how you spin it.

you have 3 choices

1) top 25 law school
2) top 3 law school in the state you live
3) don't go to law school if 1 or 2 don't apply

rankings matter if:
1. you want to make six figures right after graduation.
2. you want the option to practice anywhere in the country.
3. you want a federal clerkship or doj.

rankings matter less if:
1. you want solo practice.
2. you will graduate with minimal debt.
3. you know where you want to practice.
4. you have no interest in practicing law.

of course there are exceptions to every rule.

No. It is better to be in the top 10% of a lowly regarded law school than to be back of the pack at a mid-tier. Obviously, the top 20 schools are tickets to the game in larger firms in larger cities, but you're just joining another highly competitive game at that point.

Funny how this applies to Law. When I make a post about Engineering using this exact same logic, I get negative backlash.

Not at all.
