Haha I've grown passionate about this topic over the years. My partner is a 2L at columbia and was an average/good student in undergrad (strong LSAT, 3.6 GPA, barely any ECs). He started out an english major premed like me (we were both between medicine and law, I stuck w premed and he switched). The sheer amount of free time he has -- I never, ever witness in my med school friends. Vacations, parties, etc. Says it's even more fun than undergrad and his friends from school seem to agree. Meanwhile, everyone asks why I don't "just go to Columbia med." Well, their median GPA isn't 3.7 unlike the law school and the acceptance rate is about a fifth of theirs.
Plus one of my tutoring coworkers is a law student at my UG and had the time to work even more hours than some undergrads. Don't med schools make you sign a contract not to work? /there's really not a realistic chance to hold a job during med school?
Not to mention, there are MD/JD programs. But imagine a JD program letting you tack on an MD with an extra 2 years of schooling or doing it as night school.
Yeah it's subjective, you're screwed if it's not a T20, saturated job market, it doesn't even matter at the end of the day yadda yadda, but there's definitely a better case for med school being more difficult
