Re: OMG. I hate myself. Please help - advice.
I have no qualms about attending CUNY this fall. The school has a phenominal reputation in the NYC public interest sector and is great at getting students those tough judicial internships. Oh yea, and I am going to law school for free.

It is relevant. Throughout the argument, he was responding to the original issue of whether or not attending CUNY would cause someone to incur a lot of debt, not whether or not in-state tuition was $10k/year. I think the disconnect here just comes from ambiguous writing on a message board. He made an out-of-state assumption. You made an in-state assumption.newyorker88 wrote:Whether he knew she was instate or not is irrelevant. I clearly stated in-state tuition was $10,000 per year. He said that wasn't true. No matter how you slice it he's wrong.TheBigMediocre wrote:A'nold, I normally really like your posts but I think this is a bit over-the-top.

Re: OMG. I hate myself. Please help - advice.
Two things. No, he responded specifcally to my statements about instate tution. Whether he knew if she was instate or not is not relevant in his response to me. I said in-state tution is $10,000 per year. He responded saying that was false. Now, had I said tution for op will be $10,000 per year then if he knew whether she was in state or not would be relevant.Two I made no assumptions. Before responding to the thread I did a 10 second check of op's post history and saw that she is a new york resident. You on the other hand have just made an assumption. You assumed that I was assuming when i stated that op was in state. I was not.TheBigMediocre wrote:It is relevant.

JGG, seriously, it's cool. You're just going to be constantly surrounded by people who are used to winning every argument, even when they're wrong, and who have totally gotten away with well-worded fallacies for their entire lives. Oh, and they love to argue.
Oh, and you're around them every day for the next three years.

Well... I didn't call after all. Or send the check. I got into one of my top choices today. CRAZY the way the world works. That said, I still think CUNY is amazing and deserves ALOT more credit than some of you give it and it's was still in my top 3 choices.

So it looks like your incompetence has saved you $500. Score one for the good guys.

ABA RECOMMENDS not working the first year. It's up to the law schools to solidify that into a requirement of 1L.TheBigMediocre wrote:OP's statement about part-time employment raised a question in my mind. Doesn't the ABA prohibit full-time first year law students from holding jobs?
