BTL is worth very little nowadays (rightly so). The boys may be learned enough to get smicha, possibly (and let them, if they deserve it), but they often have very poor communication and language arts skills, because they are plain and poshut UNEDUCATED in the secular world. If they want a degree that comes from the secular world, they need to do their secular hishtadlus.
I know guys who went to Yeshivah in E”Y for five years to get the BTL, specifically so they could bypass college and go straight into law school. Only one of all of them was accepted, and I am certain it is because his parents are both highly educated and made sure he got a great high school education.
