Did anyone take CCN at sticker over lower ranked w/ scholly?
And if so, would you do it again? Are your outcomes significantly better than they would have been at the lower ranked school (also: are we talking MVP, lower T-14, T20, T, TT, etc.)?
CoA at NYU would be sticker.
CoA at the T20 (one of UT/UCLA/Vandy) would be about $150K (PROBABLY less since I used the school's estimates and my knowledge of the city tells me I can do it for cheaper). Its in the region I want to practice in, although I'm not obsessed with that region (as in, I'm not going to shed a tear if I don't come back). I don't have scholarship offers from any other T-14s.
I'm also a pretty serious PI gunner, so NYU's LRAP program is sexy.

150K is too much to be in debt for any of UCLA/UT/Vandy. I would vote for none of the above.

If this was NYU at sticker vs. a lower T14 with $$$ we could have a real conversation, but that's not what we're talking about.
Plus you want PI.
Have fun in New York.

NYU at sticker with a PI focus is maybe just barely defensible, but you better be DAMN sure you want PI. If I were in your current shoes, I would not go to law school at all.

I don't know that I'd regret it if I had gone outside the T-14Hutz_and_Goodman wrote:Lots of people have done this, almost all regret the decision

OP here.
I ended up getting a moderate scholly offer from NYU this morning, so the T20 is out, and I'm probably taking NYU.

It's not the end of the world but you basically have to pay back a lower end Ferrari and then some, which sucks.

It does when you realize you could actually have the Ferrari instead.PariSiamo wrote:Actually it doesn't seem that bad when you put it like thatPeanutsNJam wrote:It's not the end of the world but you basically have to pay back a lower end Ferrari and then some, which sucks.
