Definitely not paying out of my personal savings. It's money left to me by a relative

Thank y'all so much for all the great advice!

Well, that is still your money...

Unless I'm going crazy I think he ninja edited. Originally he said that the money had to be put toward schooling. If that's true then I say go for it. And by it I mean UT of course.

See you there OP!

It's money in a trust that only my parents can access and the relative stipulated it must be used for school

Oh yes then by all means thread is over, go to UT. And congrats!

UC tuition fraud is legendary compared to texas or georgia other state schools. UCLA went from $12K in the early 2000's to $31K in 2009 to $48K ($53K out of state) next year. Un-fucking-believable.

When I was in high school I remember thinking I wanted to go to UCLA law since it was a solid option at that price. HAHAHAHAHA

Now that's an idea. If I ever have money to leave and a relative I really don't like, I'll just put like 100k (or the equivalent relative to COA in year 20XX) with the stipulation that they have to use it for law school.

How's that for a carrot?

Then they choose Cooley.

That's the point - hence the bolded and "carrot."

It's like "hey look there's a bunch of money for you but you have to ruin your life financially to get it."

I don't understand how they ruin their life financially when your trust fund would pay for their COA.

Huh? Cooley's COA pre-interest is 160k. 100k =/= 160k?

Also, if you don't recognize that going to Cooley even for free would be a horrible decision, then you haven't been reading much TLS/Campos/Scamblogs/etc.

I was just responding on the basis that you wanted to ruin a hated relative's life financially.

But my mistake, I read your post as saying you'd put in full COA in the trust fund and not 100k adjusted for inflation.

But hey, the relative you hate could very well end up at T14 or w.e.

Well if you buy into the oft-raised premise that having a JD on your resume (or 3 years gap if you leave it off) actually makes it more difficult to get non-legal jobs, it could have some pretty serious financial ramifications even if it covered full COA at a school with terrible outcomes.

As for the T14 thing, I was trying to pick an amount of money for the trust fund that would be enough to make the prospect of going after a JD appealing but not enough to make most if not all schools worth it. Maybe like 50k would be more appropriate idk. I'd probably also be banking on any relative of mine being too lazy/too lousy at academics to actually get accepted to a top school, which would be a good bet imo lol.

But regardless it was just meant as a joke, and extending it in this fashion makes it dumber than it already was, so I think I'm just going to stop before I get full-aspie up in here.
