Hey guys,
SO i just got my scholarship award and will be gettting a full ride! But im torn between this and stanford at sticker. What would you guys do

Tough Choice but SLS... hard to walk away from. Try and negotiate!

[Jlyyep]

Question outside of scholarships: Is it possible to get a decision without the DLDS updating your complete date at all? jw.

What are your career goals? If just Biglaw, then NU with no debt is the smarter move. Stanford is more reasonable if you're going for the unicorn things though.

It really isn't. T13 at full-tuition is better than Stanford in every conceivable scenario. There are plenty of T13 alum with the same "unicorn" jobs as HYS people. Don't mortgage your future for a 2% greater long-term chance at getting a unicorn job. Moving from a 1% to a 3% probability isn't worth $200k+.

I would take the NU fullride

I'd have a NICE long talk with Stanford and see what they'd be willing to do in the face of a full ride from another t10.

If you want a unicorn PI job, Stanford isn't the ONLY way to get there, but it is the more LIKELY way to get there. Also.. if you're PI-oriented, NU is known to be more of a BL factory. I don't think that it's the better option in "every conceivable scenario," but I will say that.... most. Now, if you just want to prestige of Stanford... that's a whole other topic.

Agreed. Although they're Stanford and NU is NU so idk if it'll work. Definitely worth trying though!

Surprised to get so little. Was offered 90k. WAs offered more by NYU(92,000) and 150,000 by Michigan!

Stupid question alert -

Accepting the money at northwestern and enrolling renders it incumbent upon you to withdraw your acceptances ONLY.

As in, we can stay on waitlists, right?

That's correct!

Fuck it, I'm retaking the lsat. They're gonna have to kill me to make me give up

Did you get nothing or just not a lot? Retake rarely a bad idea! Good luck

Was offered 150K! Would you guys take it over 75K at Chicago?

[StopLawying]

It's tough, but I'd probably choose Chicago.

I want biglaw and NU places extremely well. I'm not certain that 6 spots in the rankings are worth debt financing an additional 75K... On the other hand, its U of Chicago... Oh well, life wouldn't be as fun if we didn't have these decisions to second guess for the rest of our lives

I'd choose NU, unless you want to become a professor. They really are a wash in almost every other department.

Does the Dean of Admissions have a separate, advertised email? I can only find the admissions email!

Chicago probably isn't worth the difference. I would probably still be tempted to choose it! no help

HYS don't negotiate with scholarship offers. They don't need to.

Anyone else still waiting on a decision? Not a scholarship... just a decision. I know I applied right on the deadline, and I probably should just bite the bullet.
