Re: Is Concord Worth the Price?

you may be right as I have not corroborated your info, but
surely you can see the devil is in the details, at one point in
time someone was touting on here a 50% pass rate of a school
which has since been shut down.

their argument for the 50% pass rate (while factual) was 2
people took the test and 1 passed, again this is factual but in
a more accurate sampling of Concord, I am sorry but, 196 people
took that test and only 28 passed, forget percentages, that
seems alarming to me...

say what you will, if I am paying as much to go to Concord as an
ABA school, you better bring better numbers than that.

Concord strikes at the worst of two human emotions while not
delivering the results, which for them are hard to deliver.
they sell themself as a LS that almost isn't a DL to lure people
in, while it is in fact a DL, then you make them feel superior,
because even the most ignorant of people are scratching their
heads at the costs, but yet to fault of Concord the very ideal
they are selling encompasses an education in which a professor
can not and does not require assignments and some of the other
requirements of brick and mortar school.

So basically people are paying to pretend that they are going to
a more "real" law school. while there has yet to emerge a real
benefit to the costs.

At least a Mercedes or Harvard can boast several tangible and
intangible benefits for their exorbitant costs.

but then there will always be those who feel they must justify.
