One law school in San Diego charges $99,000 a year and sends 3.4% of its class to Big Law. 40% of students there pay full price. Here is the math on what happens to them, why the GradPLUS changes are about to end schools like it, and why UT Austin is the opposite bet.

→ CalWestern: $65K tuition plus $34K living costs, 3.4% Big Law, graduates owing roughly $350K on a $70K salary → GradPLUS loans are gone and the real fallout has not landed yet. December enrollment numbers will show which schools cannot fill a class. → UT Austin: 172 median LSAT, 40% Big Law, 15% federal clerkships, and 10% of the class gets a full ride plus a $10K check to attend
