Personal Statements, LSAT Blog, School Rank
From JD2B:- Anna Ivey discusses how to write a personal statement for law school applications.
- The LSAT Blog offers help with LSAT questions and is “written by a pre-law who scored in the 99.9th percentile on the LSAT in order to help you do the same.”
- Ann Israel says you should attend the best-ranked law school to which you are accepted. That's probably true if you're accepted to a top-10 school, and/or if you're sure your main goal in attending law school is making the most money you possibly can. However, if you plan to do public interest work or know you want to build your career in a specific region, I think Israel could be very wrong. Then again, no one's paying for my opinion, so there you go.

I agree. (But, I would also add law professor to the why-you-should-go-to-a-top-school list).
If you are not interested in the rat race, then you will have a great deal of freedom to make the choice that is best for you.
