He will most likely get in imo with an LSAT+GPA both in top quartile on average. However, he's probably looking at zero scholarship or something very minimal.
Another classic, take the full ride or pay sticker at a top school question. Only thing not making this a slam dunk imo is interest in politics and Georgetown seems like an obvious spot for that. So what's everyone think?
If you don't want to practice law, don't go to law school. Pretty simple.
If he wants to just do politics, he should take the intern -> staff assistant -> LC -> LA path on the Hill. A much better way to spend your 3 years, and (outside of the first step), they actually pay you, rather than you paying someone else.
