Per Spivey Twitter:
“This is huge and breaking news. In multiple tweets. The ABA Council has recommended...
...that every law school can determine what makes a test valid and reliable for itself or whether or not it will even require an admission test...
As of this moment we are unsure of this recommendation needs to be finalized, or if it is a final decision.”
Thoughts?

For those of you interested in BigLaw. Would you all opt for t13 at sticker over a WashU with full tuition?
Depends on the T13, long term goals, and financial situation.
Are you BL or bust, or simply interested?
Is the T13 school(s) you are interested in located in an area you would like to live in for 3 years? How portable is this T13's degree? UT Austin, for example, doesn't place too great outside of Texas. Especially WRT to big law.
The average person stays in BL for under 2-3 years. So always keep that in mind.
WashU places like 30%+ into big law and for full tuition, I think it's a wonderful option. Most T13s at sticker will set you back 300k. If you're only going to likely be in BL for 3 years, you'll likely only be able pay off only part of that debt.
I've heard this frequently that most people only last a few years in biglaw. But even with that being the case, I think most people don't go from biglaw 170k to 50k. Generally they are able to lateral to another solid gig that pays a comparable wage.
