About Wayne State law school in Detroit; work and study

Wayne State law school in Detroit; work and study?
I'm thinking about going to law school after I graduate from U of M Flint in about a year but I need to keep working full time. I see that Wayne State offers night classes. Is there anyone out there going to Wayne's law school and working full time right now? How is it?

Answer 1 :
Stay far away. Although I have never been there or stepped foot on their campus, I can tell you that going there would be a mistake. Do to its ranking, I can assure you that your chances of finding any type of decent employment coming from a low-ranked school like this would be slim to none. And do not believe what they may say in their pamphlets and other materials about their job prospects - none of it is true. You will just be in a world of debt with a worthless third-tier-toilet degree. That place is a mill and will say anything to you to rob you of all your money. These places are all the same. Unless you are just going just to go, then you need to stay away from this mill like the plague.
Answer 2 :
You should not consider working and going to Wayne State for the following reasons: (1) Working will hurt your ability to focus on your studies. Schools similar to Wayne State have strict grading curves and bleak job opportunities; (2) Wayne State is ranked fairly low and is hardly recognized outside of Michigan; (3) You need to study for the LSAT and get a high score to get into an elite regional-school or a national school. Working after undergrad and then attending law school is not a bad thing. Many law schools, such as Northwestern, give extra value to applicants with work experience. Further, it will put you into the Non-Traditional Applicant pool, which will make you unique for the law school. If you have a low GPA, taking time off from school and working may be the best option. The farther you are removed from your low GPA, the less it will matter in your admission process. That low GPA from (2 or so years ago) will no longer reflect your true ability to succeed in law school. I hope this helps.
