There are also more and more online part-time programs […]

In case you’re not also following the law school admissions world (which most of you probably are not, and honestly, you maybe shouldn’t even be following the bschool admissions world as closely as you are, if it’s causing you too much stress), you may have missed the recent announcement by Yale Law School that they’re […]
