Fordham (5k/yr), UIUC (20k/yr), or Seton Hall (Full Ride) Forum

[TLSNYC]

FWIW, I go to UG in Jersey and can assure you that SHU is a flaming pile of shit and here's why you shouldn't go there -- my friend goes to SHU on a half tuition scholarship. Her section was stacked with all of the major scholarship winners during 1L so half of them lose their scholarships no matter what post 1L. Save yourself the time and debt and retake. If you don't want to retake, then look at RU.

You know nothing about Jersey or NYC, so you should see your way out.

Doesn't take localized knowledge of the Jersey area to figure out that Seton Hall at less than full ride is likely a bad deal.

Also, given that DF is an engineer IRL, I'm pretty sure he's already made more money than the majority of Seton Hall graduates can hope for ITE.

Dude I know a millionaire who never finished high school. Obviously bro, that's what people should do.

Why didn't that earthquake hit NJ?

you're misinformed, he did finish high school. shows how much you know about NJ.

I wouldn't go to steton hall unless you want to deal with this:

[bigkahuna2020]

what are these steton hall grads doing that requires a JD and pays 6 figures?

Partner at small and midlaw firms. In house counsel at large pharma company. IP at a midsized chemical company.

Maybe right out of law school. That being said, if you think engineers fresh out of school make tons of money (even PI shitlaw in NJ makes you 50-55k out of law school) you are mistaken. Most of my family are engineers, and one almost went back to school to SHU to tru to crack the dreaded 80k ceiling.

And TLS ruins a legit thread, again, with some elitist douchiness.

please don't take advice about NY/NJ law from someone who doesn't even know the name of one of your major choices.

I know many Seton Hall grads who make significantly more money than you probably ever will.

You know nothing about Jersey or NYC, so you should see your way out.

there are a shitload of flyover country tards talking out of their ass about areas they know nothing about.

Do you know ANYTHING about NJ law firms?

the Bronx sucks

My ex is an engineer. Last I heard, he was making 90k per year (he's now about four years out of school). 90k > 50k, particularly when PI shitlaw in NJ becomes difficult to obtain and you're stuck struggling with LS debt.

ITE DD defends DF like the good friend she is, but accidentally trolls is illogical choice to go to lawl school.

Well, you did have options in life, unlike us basket-weaving majors.

[CanadianWolf]

Apparently several of us mispelled the best option----F-U-L-L R-I-D-E.

[Selfridge]

ok...SHU it is

Any last minute votes/advice?

[thexfactor]

fordham.

Seton hall biglaw/midlaw is prob betwee 5-10%.

Fordham is around 25% maybe slightly higher.

If you want to be risk adverse, go to fordham your first year, then drop out if you arent in the top 1/3 of your class.
In all likelihood, the full ride at Seton Hall will waste 3 years of your life.

Seton Hall has a terrifying curve. OP, go to Fordham, since you won't have COL loans.

Also, I know something about NJ firms and go to one of the other NJ schools. I would not have gone to SHU if they paid me.
