In alphabetical order they are: Berkeley, Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, Duke, Georgetown, Harvard, Michigan, New York University, Northwestern, Stanford, University of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Yale.

Share your story on what you are doing to get into law school.

I graduated from college in 1991 and could have gone to Washington University law school. However, I was scared away by the cost and decided to go to work for the family business. Thirty three years later, that was a bad decision. The cost back in the early 90's would be a bargain today and any student loans would have long sense been paid off. I was also greedy because after four years of being a poor undergrad, I had a well paying job. My advise to young college grads is to focus on the long game and don't focus on what your financial situation will be the day you get out of law or medical school, but focus on what it will be like when you are between 35 to 55 and in your earnings prime. By the way, I eventually went back to night school for my MBA and have done very well in my career.

T14 are great! But do not count out some VERY STRONG schools outside of that. UCLA, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Boston University, George Washington, Fordham

I would day that someone's view of the best law school can be subjective. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at my law school, made life long friendships, connected with professors who cared about my future and landed post law school clerkship in one of the most competitive jurisdictions in the country and permanent job thereafter working from home.

Hi Beau! I recently found your channel and have been binge watching your videos as they have been giving me a better understanding of law school. My question is, is it advisable to take a year off after undergrad to get work/internship/lsat-prep experience in before trying to get into law school? I have seen alot of mixed opinions on this and I couldn't find a video you might have made about it. I've been told some law schools look for time off after undergrad, and getting your advice would be great.

Our daughter is now in 3L at one of the T14. She is on Law Review and among the top students in her class. She applied 3 years ago to all of the T14, was accepted into 12, was rejected by one and wait listed by another. She received a minimum of 50% in academic scholarship from all 12 who accepted her. She scored in the 99th percentile in her first attempt at the LSATs. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Connecticut College, won the academic prizes in both Economics and Political Science, was the captain of both the school's Figure Skating and Downhill Skiing teams, and was elected Chairman of the School's Honor Council. She spent her Junior semester abroad at Oxford University only 1 of 14 so accepted from the U.S. Following graduation, she received 5 offers from the top corporate legal firms in the U.S. including Cravath, Swaine & Moore, the #1 ranked law firm in the world, Sullivan & Cromwell (#4) and Sidley Austin (#11) and accepted Cravath's offer after being informed she was their #1 recruit in the nation. She worked at Cravath for 2 years, then applied to the T14 and accepted admittance into one where she now resides. She has already had offers from some of the top corporate law firms and has accepted one from Jenner & Block in Chicago.

Hi! Just want to ask if why do JD's wear a doctorate regalia?

[lucasv]

I’m conflicted between attending Mizzou in Missouri or WashU to pursue a law degree. I believe WashU is ranked 18th and Mizzou is in the 50’s. WashU is nearly 3 times as expensive. I was looking for some input on if the difference of prestige would be worth the difference in cost?
