Conditional is predatory

Unless the condition is to remain in good academic standing and good academic standing at that particular school is within a reasonable range, e.g. 2.0-2.5

this school is good at leaving ppl in the dark. They'd be ranked #1 if that was a metric.

@WhiteMountains: conditional is not always "predatory" a lot of schools have a top 75% condition which isn't exactly predatory. Such a blanket statement.

A lot of predatory schools do, yes. A definition is, by definition, a blanket statement

Read the Inside the Law School Scam blog or Don’t Go to Law School (Unless) book by a Colorado law professor. It explains this truth in detail

I guess it depends on what, exactly, predatory means to you. Is it 5% of students losing their scholarships, 10, 20, 40? USD operates, in some respects, as a predatory law school. Having conditional school ships is a giant red flag and tells you all you need to know. (But, if you need to know more, there are other giant red flags.)
@lovelyday: I don't know where you're getting this data. For the 2022-2023 calendar school year, 256 entered with scholarship and only 39 had reduced or eliminated.
looks like a lot of the scholarhips are conditional does anyone know what the conditions look like? the ADA report shows that 30 students a yaer lose some or all of their funding so i am curious how conditional it is
