That sounds closer. 35% (1/3) are making 75k. Another 12% have some law firm job.
I still don’t believe those numbers. There is no way over 10% of the class is getting 160 jobs post-2009. My friend knows lots of people, and knows of only 3 who have those jobs for this summer. Those numbers sound more like Fordham (also not worth attending except maybe on full scholarship.)
But, even if those numbers are true, you need to consider that against the debt these students are taking out. If you borrow 150 to go to school, and walk out making 75, that is not a good deal. And those numbers are the numbers only for the 47% who are getting jobs- what about the other half of the class?
RE: the scholarships. They are loose with them, but they attach strong conditions of grades. The way the grading system works, it is impossible for everyone to keep their scholarships.
I don’t know how you can attend a school for 3 years and pay 150 if there is even a 20% chance of not getting a job that will pay enough to make it worth it. Let alone a school with 80% chance of that.
If you are considering law school, I strongly urge you to read the site I mentioned earlier.
