Reasoning? Leaving law school with 42k in debt as opposed to 132k is a big deal. I may have to take small COL but I'd be done in 3 years and can fully focus on school will have to leave a job making over 100k but it's sales so anything can happenktg808 wrote:blacklawboss wrote:Ok my cycle officially opened back up!

Better job prospects. But it depends on your career goals?
I have to be contrary here.. with a 90k difference I would take Cardozo without a second thought (especially considering the second option is sticker). Thats assuming that your COL loan will be minimal since it sounds like you were able to save from working.blacklawboss wrote:Reasoning?

I am somewhat unsure of specifics. I honestly want to start 1L and take it from there. Of course I'd like to have big law as an option, thats why I chose fordham. In the end the less debt leaves more career options.BlakcMajikc wrote:what are your career goals?blacklawboss wrote:Ok my cycle officially opened back up!

It is true that URMs get a boost and the most common way of looking at it is sort of like a 5-10 LSAT boost (though it is never that specific). Look at URM applicants on http://www.lawschoolnumbers.com and you will see that they consistently far outperform their numbers.KingMenes wrote:Anyway, I'm wondering if it is absolute truth or simply unsubstantiated speculation that law schools add an additional 5-10 point boost to the LSAT score of URM applicants, it seems to be a consistent claim on TLS....
Good deal fam. I was almost the same, but I got that UVA rejection back in January LOL. I want to call it yield protect to protect my ego and because I didn't do their why UVA. I nearly had a clean sweep.yngblkgifted wrote:Waitlisted at Stanford.
Applied to 16 T20 schools and didn't get one rejection. Thanks TLS!

You guys have been great over the cycle, TLS is absolutely one of the best resources around, definitely helped to polish my application packages!

I'd also like to give you a HUGE shout of CONGRATULATIONS!! Being on the Wait List is not the end of the world and I would be over the moon if I received news as good as you did.
