  1. I would be VERY careful about picking a law school based on its dual-degree program. The reputation of the school is the number one factor in getting your first legal job. That should be your first priority. If that school has a dual-degree program, great. If not, then maybe you can get a MSW later. But if you ever intend to practice law, only seriously consider reputable schools. And if you don't intend to practice law, why get the dual degree. Obviously, I'm a weird person for saying all this, but I'm basing this off my personal experience with pursuing the degrees separately because I know how valuable the ranking of your school is in the legal market.
  2. If you're not sincerely sorry, it will show and will make a faux apology look like sarcasm. It puts you in a worse predicament to be inauthentic. It's best to just move past things and not dwell.
  3. Almost all schools qualify for PSLF -- so long as it is either a non-profit or a public school (because public school employees are government employees). This is pretty much every school except for maybe a few for-profit charter schools. But I wouldn't rely on PSLF. There was a bill proposed (that thankfully didn't pass) that would have capped the amount eligible for forgiveness and would have also made it more difficult for married couples to repay their student debt (considering combined income, but still forcing both to make separate payments). It hasn't happened yet, but this is one of those programs that is just too good to be true. There is a lot of political animosity toward student debt forgiveness and I wouldn't be surprised if a similar bill passes in the future.
