<p>However, it does not seem to have been updated since 2009, so the most recent data for graduation is for the freshmen who entered in 2003 and the transfers who entered in 2005.</p>
<p>sakky, the law school I was referencing was California Western School of Law. You are right, she is a URM. I know her story well from people at the charity who gave her a small scholarship for four years during the UG years. Even attended her graduation from college. JK Rowling was the commencement speaker. Her address was about the role of failure, an interested choice of topic for this group of academic winners.

<p>Really liked your analysis of law school admissions, especially since my own D, a Freshman at a top UC school, has mentioned that as a possible career path.</p>
<p>The point I was trying to make on this thread wasn’t necessarily about failure,though I guess the OP believes their poor GPA is just that. </p>
<p>I was suggesting there were more paths to their career and life goals then the usual suspects of Grad schools in their area of study, especially since they are graduating from an excellent university with a world-wide reputation.</p>

<p>According to its web site at [California</a> Western – Claa Profile](<a href=“http://www.cwsl.edu/main/default.asp?nav=admissions.asp&body=admissions/class_profile.asp]California”>http://www.cwsl.edu/main/default.asp?nav=admissions.asp&body=admissions/class_profile.asp) ,</p>

<p>California Western School of Law is not usually considered to be anywhere close to the top of the law school rank/prestige, and good lawyer jobs tend to be very law school rank/prestige conscious. Have you seen the articles about the poor job and career prospects for lawyers who graduated from other than top rank/prestige law schools?</p>
<p>Hopefully the OP will see some value in this example we’re discussing. </p>
<p>Agreed California Western School of Law isn’t “anywhere close to the top of law school rank/prestige”. I think I used the phrase decent enough law school, or something similar.</p>
<p>You see, this kid made a reasonable decision about her future given the relatively low GPA from a prestigious university. She traded on that to go to a lessor ranked law school. In addition she was able to do that tuition free too, in part because she is a URM. </p>
<p>Frankly I didn’t support the idea. But she wanted to finish all her education with little debt, which she is doing. </p>
<p>In the end, if she does well in this Law School, which considering her UG background, should happen, her post school job prospects may be OK.</p>
<p>Hopefully, the take away from this for the OP would be there are many ways to achieve career goals, especially after you’ve attended and graduated from a top school like Cal.</p>

<p>Well, if the person in question does indeed has a full-tuition scholarship, possibly even with stipend (which is unclear), then the risk is minimal. Sure, her law job prospects might be poor, but let’s face it, job prospects right out of undergrad aren’t exactly sizzling either, meaning that she has little to lose.</p>
