<p>“A demanding, prestigious undergraduate school on your resume means more than which law school you graduated from, provided you have an impessive law school record (Law Review, high GPA, clinics/internships in area of interest).”</p>
<p>Are you talking about specifically for what the OP wants (government job, etc.) or in general? The former, I can’t say, but if its the latter is so egregiously wrong that I have to question whether you have any idea what you are talking about.</p>
<p>As for the loan forgiveness programs people are talking about: Going to a higher ranked law school is essential for two reasons 1. Only “good” law schools have this option 2. Your chances of getting into the position you want is much higher with a T14 JD than without.</p>
