Going to Yale law is a very low risk strategy.

  Only if you ignore the costs of getting into Yale (and failing to get into Yale), as well as the costs of not coming out with the necessary connections and pay.

    The work you need to do to get into Yale has a positive impact even if you don’t go to Yale.

  My wife went to a top-tier law school here in the UK and one risk that she didn't appreciate is that a significant proportion (I think it was about 30%) of her class simply didn't manage to get a traineeship with a law firm and without that you can't qualify. Getting a traineeship at the time (this was the 1990s) was often heavily influenced by connections and appearance!
