well, i just got through sending out all my law school apps.

today i got an email from a school i didnt apply to telling me that they would give me a full ride through law school. three years of tutition + housing + spending money. downside? its some tier 3 school in Kansas. although a free ride would be nice, my gut feeling is to go with a top 25 school for the reputation and bury myself in debt.

what do you all think?

thanx

I've heard Grad school reputation is very important, unlike a BS or Masters.

But thats just me. If i were you... BRING ON THE DEBT!

OOPS!, I went back and READ THE WHOLE THREAD. DUH! My bad:)

Well, do you stand a chance to get into these other schools? (not trying to be insulting)

If not, go to the school in kansas
