I'm pretty sure the projected increases are contingent on the cost of comparable private schools going up that much. This year, the UCs are still cheaper than USC and Stanford, and I don't think that's going to change (instate, of course, but it's really easy to get instate tuition in CA after your first year).fortissimo wrote:...I doubt they will cost 54k in 1-2 years, or whatever the going rate is right now for UCLA.forty-two wrote:Only if comparable private schools cost that much by then.fortissimo wrote:Isn't the instate tuition going to be 50k per year your 2L or 3L year? I'd just retake the LSAT and reapply, seriously.

I don't think they consider GW a "peer" institution. or enough of one. They moved when it came to Vandy though.CanadianWolf wrote:The George Washington University Law School is the obvious answer unless UCLA is willing to match GWU's scholarship offer.
I had this option (eventually UCLA threw 30k total) and never seriously considered it. Maybe it's because I was never set on LA, but it wasn't a difficult decision. DC is great. That's quite a bit of money. etc.
Visit with an open mind to the school and to the city.

Thank you all for your input. I'm flying to DC tonight to visit GW. I still have 9 days until the seat deposit it due at either school. Right now I'm leaning towards DC. I think with the location and the considerable difference in debt, it'll leave more doors open in the long run. If I end up at UCLA, I'm pretty much consigned to biglaw - and I'm not sure that's the direction I want to go.
