Default Re: How much is a degree from a low level law school worth? (and more

Bump.

Okay, so I'm currently a 1L at Texas Wesleyan (a tier 4 school), where I will almost certainly finish the year in the top 5%. I have a half-tuition scholarship, and will have a lot of opportunities to do stuff like law review, moot court, whatever here.

Would I be better off transferring to SMU (#50ish on USNews, but pretty well-respected in DFW) where I would probably not excel quite as much? Also, it is super-expensive there, so I'd graduate w/ close to 100k in loans probably.

My gut says stay put where it's cheap and just pwn, but I seem to be getting the impression that a degree from a Tier 4 is all but hopeless. What's the concensus from you lawyers out there?
