Law School with less then 60 graded credits

Another important factor to consider: how do you plan to practice law?

For example, let’s say you’re admitted to a T14 law school in the U.S. with a full-ride scholarship. BigLaw firms primarily recruit from T14 schools (and occasionally from a few T20 schools). However, working in BigLaw typically means 80–100 hour workweeks, and burnout is common within the first 1–2 years. Many lawyers end up leaving the profession altogether as a result.

Alternatively, you could work at a boutique firm or start a solo practice but going solo without prior experience can be much more difficult. There's also the public sector: you could work as a public defender or a prosecutor.

You mentioned wanting to help people navigate the system. Clarifying how you want to do that will help guide your law school decision too.
