"A friends daughter just clepped out of college and went directly to law school"

What law school? This is fascinating b/c it shows the out of the box thinking of a law school admissions office....not a venue generally known for out of the box thinking.

It in Chicago....not U of Chicago.

Gosh....starts with a "B" I think.

He told me that with 8 kids and homeschooling he had to find a way for his kids to get a cheap college education. Then he discovered the U of Oklahoma has a clep program that enables a person to clep out of a subject based on a clep test and about 55 bucks per class (or per credit hour...I forget which). In any case, she went to college that way. Studying and clepping.

Then she applied to law schools and this one in Chicago accepted her.

Anyone know a law school in/around Chicago that might start with a "B?"

Probably not a fully-accredited law school. ABA-approved law schools may enroll only holders of bachelors degrees or their foreign equivalents, with some very limited exceptions for concurrent enrollment (when you do your first year of law school simultaneous with finishing your last year of college).

California has a wide variety of partially accredited (state approved) and totally unaccredited law schools. The totally unaccrediteds can do more or less whatever they want. They also have ultimate bar pass rates in the low double digits (15%-20% for the better ones...)

Which college? Most colleges I know have some sort of residency requirement, plus a cap on clep credits.

Sorry, meant to post my last to xzins

Also, xzins it's not that I'm doubting you but I am a homeschool father myself who is taking distance learning courses and I am required to go to campus for 12 of my total hrs. Also they only take something like 12-15 credits for clep.
