Full Ride Fine Print (Ep. 528)

Ben and Nathan weigh in on New England Law’s conditional, full-tuition scholarships. They criticize conditional scholarships that can leave a majority of students paying full price. At most law schools, only top students (typically those already with scholarships) will secure six-figure jobs. The majority of the class foot the bill, taking out exorbitant loans while earning significantly less after graduation. Ben and Nathan encourage applicants to apply broadly and attend the right school at the right price. 

Later in the show, they:

• Break down UC Law San Francisco’s new $100 million campaign
• Reassure a student who fears they’re progressing too slowly
• React to WashU personally contacting applicants’ recommenders
