Hi, everyone, thanks for the answers...To provide some details -- the school is a top-10 school and the median corporate law salary is 120K/year. That said, I can also think of plenty of reasons I might not make that kind of money (a bad test day first year; an inability to stomach corporate law)...It seems to me that even after taxes and loan repayments, I'd be much better off than I am now (making in the mid-30's with 25K in undergrad loans), but then again, it still feels like a huge risk... |

If you're in at a top 10 school, no doubt many schools in the lower top tier/second tier will give you a free ride.
I have a crappy GPA and a respectable (but not high) LSAT. Yet I have been offered scholarship money to several schools including a first tier one, and a free ride at a bottom-tier school. If I can get free mony you sure can.
If BIGLAW (120k salaries) isn't that important to you, you'll do great -- a free law degree plus you've got the potential to be at the top of your class and end up making a biglaw salary anyway.
