If my parents paid 15-20k a year to send me to private school and then told me at the end of it that they decided it was a better investment than saving for college, I would probably tell them to go gently caress themselves.

Yeah, I'd rather live in Cambridge than Charlottesville, Durham, New Haven, Ithaca, Ann Arbor, Philadelphia, and maybe some of the other T14 locations. And like you said, saying there's no good food or stuff to do in Cambridge is like saying there's no good food or stuff in Arlington, VA. You're living in a pretty convenient annex of a major city.

Direwolf posted:Northwestern University School of Law is a lovely place full of lovely, nice people. How could you go wrong with garish purple colors splashed onto every available surface? And nothing makes you feel better about yourself than realizing that not only does U Chicago make any other law school in the area seem full of cool, normal, social people, but people in Chicago have no idea that UChicago's a good school, never mind the better of the two. People are noncompetitive and chill, professors are friendly and approachable, and at least it's not U Chicago. Plus the law school and the med school have their own campus and from what I hear, the students of both schools interact reasonably often, so you've got a shot at latching onto a doctor.

Enigma89 posted:I am graduating from UC Santa Cruz in a few weeks and I already applied to law school. I am not going to get into a top law school, so I have been thinking of maybe going to Europe and getting a basically free Masters degree. I already spent a year abroad in Germany and I liked it there. I think with a masters degree I can reapply to law school at a later date and probably get into a better law school. Ughhhhhh good job ignoring something I thought this thread makes very clear. The boost from the extra degree will be minuscule and only help you against people with numbers very close to yours at schools at which you were already borderline. The only thing you can do to significantly help you get into a better law school besides maybe joining the military, joining the Peace Corps, or accomplishing something unusually significant, is seriously preparing to take the LSAT again and doing better on it.

Lancelot posted:In New Zealand, you can pretty much get a job in a big law firm no matter where you study, though obviously the more prestigious universities give you a better shot. Part of the reason, I think, is that there are much fewer law schools per capita in NZ than in the US, so law school prestige counts for much less and grades and connections for much more. If all six law schools listed on Wikipedia are legit, then this isn't true. New Zealand has a bit over four million people while the United States has 308 million.

We're not a third world country, we're just the only first world country that allows so much poverty and inequality to exist and where your average person is one major health or property-related misfortune away from being in deep poo poo. But calling us a third world country is silly, I agree. Edit: But in really bad inner-city neighborhoods and really poor rural areas, especially places in the US that still don't have running water, there really is no place to compare them to but the third world. Not Sub-Saharan Africa, but maybe Latin America and Asia. MoFauxHawk fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Feb 19, 2011 |

Did you actually get a full ride to Chicago? At least before this year, Chicago was one of the T14's that simply doesn't give full rides. I think T6 full ride beats H and S. Lower T14 full ride vs. H or S is a tougher choice and depends a lot on your personal goals. But if you can scrounge up a way to pay for living expenses and come out of a top law school with no debt, that's a pretty huge load off your back. Also unless somebody says "full ride + living expenses/stipend" you can assume they mean a full tuition ride, because that's what a full scholarship is. Full scholarships with stipends at the T14 are absurdly rare, if they even happen. I would still easily take Yale over anything except Columbia full ride, and even then I'd probably take Yale. Edit: But if you pick Harvard or Stanford over a T6 full ride, I don't think it's a bad choice. I don't think you're going wrong either way.

Well holy poo poo. http://www.law.uchicago.edu/node/3762 "The Law School is very excited about the David M. Rubenstein Scholars Program, established with a gift to the University for the Law School to fund 60 full-tuition scholarships over three years. These scholarships are predominantly merit-based and will be awarded beginning with the Class of 2014 starting in fall 2011." 20 free full rides per year will help Chicago's numbers a bit. Congrats on getting one of them if you did. Edit: Also this could be you! "David M. Rubenstein, '73, made his generous $10 million gift to the Law School for two reasons: to help the Law School compete for the very best students and to provide worthy law students the kind of financial head start he also was given. Rubenstein attended the Law School on a full-tuition scholarship, which lifted the burden of paying for law school from his parents and enabled him to follow a nontraditional career path after graduation. As a result, he built the experience and connections that led to him becoming one of the most successful businessmen in the United States. He is the founder of The Carlyle Group, one of the world's largest private equity firms, and is an influential philanthropist, spreading his wealth in ways that have tremendous immediate impact. Rubenstein's gift will change the lives of dozens of law students and will raise the Law School's stature among its peer institutions, a benefit to the entire Law School community."
