U.S. News says that it is the top 100, but law students and those in the legal community consider the top 50 schools to be Tier 1, and 50-100 to be Tier 2.

The most prestigious law schools are referred to as T-14 (Top 14).

Is medical school harder than law school?

I would say that med school is harder to graduate from, but law school is harder to do well in (if that makes sense). In other words they're not going to let you be a doctor if you are an idiot, but any idiot can graduate from a second tier law school. Where law school becomes harder is in the top 100 schools. There you are competing (don't forget law school uses a bell curve) against fellow students who are equally as smart as you. Thus if you want to graduate in the top 10% of your law school class, you will work harder than a med student, but if you're ok with mediocrity, than law school can be quite easy. I would just like to add that all law schools across the country require essentially the same curriculum, so with respect to doing well, it really does not matter whether one is at tier one or the lowest rank law school in the country. They are both hard degrees to obtain and I think the only way to actually determine whether one is harder than the other is to graduate from both! Otherwise, it's just really speculation.


Can you go to law school with an AS...I am 35. I have an outstanding private education. I come from a family of lawyers and they all say I can do it...I scored 161 on my first lsat?

That sounds good. Since you scored a 161, you could probably get into a Tier 2 or Tier 3 law school. I assume Tier 2, those are the great schools. Tier 3s are good, you have to score in the 150s to get into those. If you want the BEST schools (like Harvard) you'd have to score in the 170s but over all I think you'll do well. Best of luck.
