My son, a recent U of A grad with very nice LSAT and GPA scores, has decided to change his residence to Arkansas from Texas.
He has been accepted to all of the top Texas law schools other than UT(Houston, SMU, Baylor,) and was accepted to U of A as well. He'll probably get into UT as well but not qualify for much scholly money.
Arkansas has closed the gap on those schools very very quickly, and he believes it to be a poor decision NOT to go to Arkansas, which is less costly.
And with the MBA he will get as well, he should be very employable with minimal school debt.
I think he is doing the right thing

He is doing the right thing even if he doesn't stay in the Mid-South area afterwards.

It would be a tough call if I were in that situation as I've always, in spite of my disdain for Longhorn sports, regarded the UT Law School as top notch. But as you say Arkansas has closed the gap and he should be fine, especially getting his undergrad degree there. That's the path I took, although I think the practice of law has become increasingly difficult over the years. But then again, maybe that's true of all professions.
Couldn't you talk to him into med school? I actually knew a select few folks who got both degrees. Lots of schooling though.
