Sure, $60k at NU would be nice, but that's still somewhere around $180k+ total for a conservative final estimate.
Makes me sad to have such a low GPA.Desert Fox wrote:90k is still 180k at replayment. just lol lololo
Luckily I'm not in a rush. I like my current company a lot and probably have some room to grow here for a bit. I've got at least another three or four years before I need to start worrying.Desert Fox wrote:Don't go. Law sucks as a profession.
Agreed.Tiago Splitter wrote:These days the best bet is probably to just take the full ride at an Illinois or WUSTL and gun hard. If you get bad grades drop out.
It's actually quite hard to get a full ride at WUSTL even though they are very generous.

Just curious as to your financial experience (for lack of a better term)? Where are you getting your conclusions from?downbeat14 wrote:Clearly wrote: Clearly, I'm not sure you understood what I wrote. Option (1) was T14 with "very little debt," not anything besides full ride as you suggest. Maybe you just mis-read it? I wasn't specific, but I do think it's best to keep total debt-financed COA under $100k (that's the max I would advise anyone else, personally yes I don't think taking on debt is a good idea for LS). I don't think that is excessively conservative advice, but yeah I wasn't specific enough and maybe that's what threw you off.n it's baseless speculation.
