So if not a full sholly at NYU I'm definitely going to Yale. Decision is made. Thanks everyone for the wonderful and maybe not so wonderful feedback.

And for the 2.9ers who are b*tching..don't worry about getting into yale...I doubt that you'd have any chance at matriculating anyway so consider it a favor that they rejected you instead of having you drowning in debt.
I hope you go to yale and end up at the bottom of your class where you will end up unemployed and married to a teacher who makes 40K a year.


Not likely...but maybe if you think and hope hard enough about it you might actually convince yourself that bullying people gives your life true meaning. I ask a simple question and get all of these rude responses from people who cannot fathom someone not being a slave to the usnwr rankings. My financial stability is important to me. So despite LRAPs its a bit scary to be that far in debt for a significant portion of my adult life
There is no point in arguing with mean spirited ignorance. Which this thread is infested with.

OP, this is completely beside the point but why do you keep putting astericks in your cuss words? You even do it in the word hell...
Shit, fuck damn, bitch. See, no need for astericks. We're all adults here. Err... mostly.

I don't talk bad about anybody ever. Ask the people on this board some in this forum I go out of my way to help everybody with everything. This guy is a jerk who tried to bully the OP. I had enough of these type of people just because someone asks a question that they don't feel is worthy of the TLS board. DON'T ANSWER THEN.

I don't think NYU full scholly would be a bad choice at all, especially since the OP seems pretty loan/debt averse.

This is what I'm thinking as well. Obviously OP is very concerned about debt, so I think if she gets the scholly, it should be legitimately considered. This is NYU.

How's weight gain/major physiological change going?
jesus christ! this thread wins the asshole award
Admittedly unnecessary.

Anyway, I'll be going back on track now.

OP needs to buzz Fin Aid offices and inquire about her awards. I have friends who are now 2Ls at HY and all agree that HLS and YLS are quite generous. I doubt she'll be getting screwed given her overall background.

Agreed. There's no wrong decision here, but I think OP might be happiest with the NYU full ride, if she gets it. She won't have to stress or worry about the loans at all, and she will have strong job prospects from NYU, assuming she doesn't have a strong preference for academia.

My life has meaning because I was born and bred for success and achievement.

Knowing that Yale is infinitely better than UF w/ $$ =/= being a slave to rankings. Glad you got your answer though.
