I agree that she's the exact right type of person for it, and if RTK becomes an option, that would be great for her. I just figure if she retakes and scores high, she can get into H more reliably than she can get RTK at NYU. And then she would have non-IBR-dependent LIPP and H. But maybe she has a good shot at RTK, I guess the people I know who have gotten it are pretty unremarkable.worldtraveler wrote:Because of the proposed changes to PSLF, for PI people taking on big debt is a bad idea, and NYU/Berkeley are almost as good with elite PI placement as HYS, so the extra money is not worth it.francesfarmer wrote:Is that because of the greater flexibility that comes with lower debt + the fact that OP isn't going to find work in international human rights law anyway?worldtraveler wrote:By people who don't know what they're talking about, yes.

And what makes you think OP can't get a job in international human rights? Because people on TLS say so? OP is the exact kind of person who has a shot at it.
And I'm probably projecting. If I were in her situation I would retake until I could get HYS.
