IIRC, Fordham doesn't give out much scholarship money, and attending at full price is insane because there is a 2/3 chance you'll end up unemployed or in shitlaw,DA,PD.

Fordham doesn't give shit for scholarships. I got a big goose egg. Well, shouldn't say that. I got a voucher for some books that I wouldn't have bought otherwise.

i cant imagine any more than 1/4 of them are getting jobs. and that includes engineers, people who get jobs through parents, etc. probably have to be top 20-10% to have a real shot at employment as a normal bro. so yeah, thats a crap trap.

tbf, 33% got biglaw (firms of 101+) or fed clerkship from the class of 2013. Probably another 30% in law jobs (ada/pd/shitlaw) or consulting/cpa firms/compliance.

lol. there is nothign but biglaw/fed clerkships. everythign else is horseshit. even most biglaw is horseshit. but ill go with the 33% number, although you always have to be skeptical of anything those schools public. still, that includes people getting jobs through their parents, diversity hiring, etc.

Which has the greater expected ROI:

A) Go to Fordham and pay sticker;

B) Sell everything you own, max out all your credit cards, borrow a sizable amount from a loan shark, and then go to Vegas and put it all on black at the roulette table; or

C) Sit on your ass unemployed for 3 years while smoking weed?

Hint hint: Your stoner friends are laughing at you.

its not terrible. i know a lot of people that ended up OK or in biglaw, but there were a lot of very smart people with good lsat scores (that could have gotten into a better school if they waited a cycle) who got F'ed by law school arbitrary grading and now are in the shitter.

if you got a shit lsat and fordham was your top choice then yes its good. if you got a good lsat score, they are just sucking out your credentials to their own profit and you still have a good chance to end up fucked.

No. Y/S, since H has LP's and there is a part of the class that still won't get a job. And you only go to YS if you are desperate to be a lawyer, which who is these days?

You are rolling the dice with any other school, and biglaw is such an iffy unstable career path anyway that you can still get PWNED if you get an SA.
