$50k is a ton when amortized over a 5-20 year repayment.

Material to the discussion at hand you dense fuck. Nobody is claiming that 50k isn't a lot of money. What they're saying is that even a 50k difference doesn't change anything with regards to OP's decision.

Well OP is just throwing around a figure to base her decision off of and I was trying to figure out where it came from. Now that I know it came from LST (and that LST made it up). I can give OP better advice.

It doesn't change the calculus here but it may if Cal gives her money. Because that $293k is a gross over estimation.

i'm surprised he hasn't shown up in this thread yet. it might be a beetlejuice-type thing where we have to say his name three times, though.

better to overestimate than underestimate.

True. The better question is does LST use the same type of over estimation for all schools and are you basing all your decisions off those LST numbers. Then at least they are all on a level playing field for comparison's sake.

I remember a recent thread where Romo said that bk is not rude and here he goes calling someone a "dense fuck."

Just an observation, I thought it was funny. Carry on.

LST uses an annual increase of around 4.5% (which isn't unreasonable). The big issue is that LST has Cal's tuition wrong (it's off by about 4k for 2011-2012).

why are we still hung up on berk? I thought OP said she wasn't going unless they gave her a decent scholly anyway? But yeah, at sticker, that table is scary. UCLA one would be more useful to better gauge the real cost difference.

Basically. This thread should be over.

[twinkletoes16]

This thread SHOULD be dead, but I'm in NYC right now and absolutely cannot imagine myself living here and doing biglaw. This place is just not for me. So again, CA or bust.

Have you been to chicago before?

I love the charts above.

However, I don't think the payments are realistic. 4K is a ridiculous amount to commit to a loan payment. It is doable but that leaves you very little to live comfortably and I doubt anyone could sustain that payment schedule and lifestyle for more than a year or two.

Beautiful charts, but why the salary drop at year 6?
