In Reply To: In particular I'm talking about Fordham. BTW, I know that my opportunities outside of BIGLAW will be less if I go to one of these schools instead of Fordham, however there is no way that I could afford to take any of these jobs with the kind of debt that I would incur if I went to Fordham so it's immaterial.
Message: I can't believe you would choose a school like Pitt, Catholic, or Brooklyn over Fordham. I didn't go to school Fordham, I don't even like NYC, but if those are your choices, go to Fordham. If the extra $50K in debt (or whatever) seems too much now, in three years when you can't find a decent paying (>$45K) job to save your life, you'll regret having compromised your education. Law school is not like undergrad or most grad schools, 99% of doing well in law school involves going to a good school.
