It goes without saying that GW is out unless you can negotiate that up to full.

he's debt free either way

Lol at the persian comment.

As a fellow persian, I cannot encourage you enough to get out from your parents financial claws. They have a way of keeping their children immature and dependant forever.

I would say the worst thing you can do is take their money and deal with the guilt.

I'm not even gonna look up Vermont, but GW at sticker is NEVER the answer.

if your parents are willing to give you six figures for school, hire a private lsat tutor so you can get into a school that gives you more than a coin-flip chance of getting a job

you are going to get better options after you apply to more then 3 law schools. no one can tell you what to do, but lets think about this rationally. Most job opportunities for law students stem from the school's alumni base. I assume that many other people at vls had the same reasoning as you when they went into law school, and i would not be surprised if a substantial portion of the school came from an environmental policy/whatever background. When employers see your application, they are not going to see a special snowflake. if you are not top 10%, or 5%, they are going to put your resume underneath the other 100 they got from vls, and put those underneath every other more reputable school. I am *almost certain that this will be the case for paid federal legal opportunities from this school. Feel free to prove me wrong.
