"Inside the Minds of Law School Applicants" Research Captures the Intentions, Motivations and Concerns of Today's Cohort of Law School Applicants
MALIBU, CA--(Marketwire - October 20, 2010) - Amid a flood of suggestions that law school rankings and reported career placement data are misleading applicants, Veritas Prep, a leading law school admissions consulting firm, conducted research to uncover how applicants view the application process and the utility of the degree in the professional landscape. Are law school hopefuls aware of the bleak job market, disappearing six-figure jobs, and the heavy student loan debt associated with leading law schools? More importantly, do they care? Today, Veritas Prep released select findings from their proprietary "Inside the Minds of Law School Applicants" survey.
The survey sought to capture the intentions, motivations and concerns of today's cohort of law school applicants. Veritas Prep conducted the research in June and July of 2010 in conjunction with Law School Podcaster and Pre-Law Magazine. Respondents included a combination of both college graduates and current undergraduates and both current and prospective law school applicants. Compelling research findings include:
Professional Aspirations and Concerns
Motivations behind Pursuing a JD
Law School Selection and Financing
