<p>Alright, let's assume that you are high school senior(yes, your memory may be limited, but try.....), and you are accepted into a top 25 college. If you did not recieve as much financial aid at the top 25 as you did at your safety, would you enroll at your safety? Even if money was not a problem, would you go to a less prestigious UNDERGRAD college? People have been telling me that I could always go to a less prestigious undergrad college then I would still be able to get into the top law schools regardless of what was my undergrad college. Obviously, I am not talking about community colleges, but regular safeties, maybe state schools. I think that it'd save money, plus your GPA may be better? I'd be better off talking to someone with experience with this subject, b/c you probably know more than I do. I am only guessing that GPA will be higher, cost less, etc.....</p>
<p>I'm guessing that generally, students outside of the top 25 have a tougher time getting into a top 25 undergrad univeristy caliber law school. I think that what you should think about is how much effort you'll be putting in... will not accepting the full ride pay off in the future? How much do you expect to be making after graduating, 5 years, 10 years after? In economics we call this expected marginal benefits.</p>
