Emory and UF? Already in at FSU Forum

[Cmart050]

Thank you to FSU for loving my LSAT.

I have a 166/2.87. Right now I am pretty set on FSU pending a visit. (I'm from Miami but have never been to Tally or Gville) I got a call from them after a week telling me of my acceptance, but there is something about UF's prestige that intrigues me. If I am WL or accepted it will make for a tough decision, but I digress.

Anyways, what do you guys think about UF? I include Emory in the outside shot I get a scholarship for being spanish. Ah well.

I would definitely guess you're Cuban.

FSU will place you well in Florida, probably not as good as UF or UM though, so if you can get into either of those, go there. FSU is a dope school though, big Noles college football fan. Send an app to Emory, they will accept an ex-convict with a 2.3 GPA, as long as they have a 166 LSAT.

I don't think I am going to apply to UM. $14,000 a year at FSU, which is also higher ranked, is an easy decision compared to $38,000 a year at UM, even if I could live at home while attending. I've worked with numerous judges as a result of my internship at the county courthouse and there is general consensus that UM is going really downhill. This is coming from a lifelong Canes fan, too. I heard a lot of great things about Florida State but like I said the prestige (or maybe the fact that I may not get accepted) makes UF very appealing.

I'm from NYC, but my girlfriend used to live in Miami and she talks about how UF has the "prestige" factor down there. If you can get comparable money at UF. Go there, if not, enjoy Tallahasse.
