I feel you. No money for fancy tutors, barely able to pay to use this site, FLOORED by the cost of LSAT, LawHub, CAS, and application fees. I know I don't have the resources to get up to 170 as hard as I try, so T14s are way too far of a reach. I'm trying to remember that regardless of what school I end up at (within reason), attending and completing law school is an accomplishment and privilege that many will never be able to access. Sure, T14 big law job security must be great. But that doesn't mean a state school won't provide you with a fulfilling career and dedicated alumni network. Keep the faith - we got this!!
