Not me not me- I'm happy to have settled at GSU! :))))

But I am thinking someone is a troll around here.

I was all ready to go to LSN and see the next highest accepted LSAT score at Emory be over 160 or something, but there are about 3 or 4 others on LSN with somewhat similar numbers (155 & >3.7) that got money from Emory. Interesting. It really shoots a hole in the traditional wisdom around here about applying to certain schools. Congrats to ab04825.

2 were URMs, the other had almost a 3.9.

This. Graduating early from Georgia Southern offsetting scoring in the 55% on the LSAT just seems fishy to me.

Speaking of GSU - I just got waitlisted. What. The. Fuck.

I'm withdrawing. I'd rather go to DU with money than live in Atlanta any longer. Good luck to everyone else!

Congrats!

In another post, you mentioned you were deciding between GSU and George Mason. Why those two schools? It seems location would be the deciding factor (and paying at least twice as much at George Mason).

Thank you so much!! I'm glad someone's deciding for me. I'm at a total loss lol.

I'm deciding between GSU and GMU for entirely different reasons... GSU because, financially, it's a steal and I love Atlanta. It's close to home, cost of living is realistic for my situation, and it's more in my comfort zone. GMU because my "dream" is to live and work in D.C... I can't help but believe it would be easier to get my foot in the door if I graduated from a D.C. school. However, George Mason is easily 3x the cost. We're talking $300k in debt upon graduation vs a little over $100k at Georgia State.

I recognize that this post veers off topic a little, so feel free to PM me, but I would appreciate any input!

I'm trying to imagine how hard it will be to live in D.C. under the crushing weight of 300k.. have you run a calculator to estimate your monthly payment?

Yep... if my calculations are correct, it would be ~2,000 a month for ten years. An average GMU salary is supposedly 150k from what I've read on the profiles here... but it still seems scary. Even with GSU's average salary being nearly half, I'm assuming paying GSU loans back wouldn't hurt nearly as much.

Financially, it's a no-brainer. I'm just wondering whether to chase a dream or do the rational thing.

That seems to be everyone's reaction... I'm starting to wonder if I'm psycho for even considering George Mason. Hmm.

Given mediocre job prospects out of GMU in the most competitive and saturated legal market in the country, I'd say so.

You're from Atlanta and like it here. GSU is dirt cheap. Take it and don't look back unless crippling debt is desirable.

Touche. I'm not 100% sold on GSU yet, but I'm definitely leaning that way!

I just called Financial Aid about getting in-state tuition for 2L. She made it sound like once I start school, I won't be able to qualify for in-state tuition. Anyone has insight?

And does anyone know about subsidized loans? She said starting next school year, no grad/law student will be able to receive it :?

They have done away with subsidized loans but they've upped unsubsidized loans... it's 10500 per semester max. Then there are plus loans to cover living expenses (if needed) but they are credit based (nothing crazy just can't have adverse credit, your credit score doesn't matter).

Don't know anything about in-state tuition.

I've been wondering about the in-state tuition thing as well. I am OOS, but will be moving to Atlanta this summer and my fiance will be working for the state. Since we will be married before my second year, and will have established residency for over a year, the way the policy is written seems to suggest that in-state tuition should be attainable. Anyone have more insight on the topic?
