Re: HLS at Sticker vs. Berkeley Free
Haha thank you for the snide comment.
I have my numbers, and it's realistic, there's nothing like the TLS Trolls, I'm just asking for an opinion, if you don't have an applicable one, feel free to not post.

Re: HLS at Sticker vs. Berkeley Free
Ah, carry on then. I thought you were assuming you'd get a scholarship. Berkeley is very odd with their scholarships. They're not very numbers-related. Their admissions is pretty stupid, they reject a lot of 3.7-9, 172-175 types. Kind of strange.AlexVee wrote:How do you mean?

You would need to provide way more information, such as that found in the post at the top of the Choosing a Law School subforum.
But don't worry about it until you actually have these options. We are still in this cycle after all. In the meantime, retake.

It seems B is YP'ing....Penn seems to do that a lot too....with those numbers, you
are likely in at H/S..CCN...and they know that..most people would pick Chicago or Columbia over B...

Re: HLS at Sticker vs. Berkeley Free
If you want to do corporate, if you're just at median at HLS, you have a great shot at top Vault firms, and basically a guaranteed biglaw gig, which makes paying sticker not as terrifying of a prospect. And you might get finaid, too. And LIPP is second only to Yale for LRAP. At Berk, there's a real chance you might strike out. People have difficulty choosing between Hamilton/Rubies and HLS. Not Berk. 0L and IMHO, tho.

Re: HLS at Sticker vs. Berkeley Free
I see where you're coming from, but it's just a few data points that give that impression. There's no obvious trend of YPing going on at Berkeley, I think they just pay attention to softs a bit more than most schools.NanaP wrote:Kronk wrote:Ah, carry on then.

Re: HLS at Sticker vs. Berkeley Free
I don't think it's YPing. Berkeley is just really weird and less numbers oriented, which is why their acceptance rate is so much lower than the other schools you mentioned.

Re: HLS at Sticker vs. Berkeley Free
And even if the Yellow Ribbon Program doesn't do much/anything for you (no slot available, or the school's contribution is very low), just the GI Bill's tuition/fees payment and the housing allowance will add up to $105k or more over three years. So yeah - you're not looking at paying sticker anywhere.Cobretti wrote:HawgDriver wrote:Classic.BigZuck wrote:You would need to provide way more information, such as that found in the post at the top of the Choosing a Law School subforum.

Re: HLS at Sticker vs. Berkeley Free
Curious.. what program is it? I know TX and IL have state programs where veterans can attend public schools for free, but I wasn't aware of any CA programs like that.AlexVee wrote:Unfortunately it's not the G.I.
