I think DF makes an important point-- if you don't get top 40%, you're in big trouble. There is a 60% chance you will lose some (or all) of your scholarship money. Do you know if SJU stacks its sections?Desert Fox wrote:If you have the fortitude to drop out of St. Johns if you don't get top 40%, you should go there.
It doesn't really matter if they stack their sections or not. Scholarship kids aren't going to do more than marginally better.quixotical wrote:I think DF makes an important point-- if you don't get top 40%, you're in big trouble.

If OP isn't in the top 40% he/she is in big trouble regardless of scholarship situations from SJU.quixotical wrote:I think DF makes an important point-- if you don't get top 40%, you're in big trouble.

With minimal debt, shit law won't be that bad.ndirish2010 wrote:If OP isn't in the top 40% he/she is in big trouble regardless of scholarship situations from SJU.quixotical wrote:I think DF makes an important point-- if you don't get top 40%, you're in big trouble.

Yeah, true...the problem with sticker at T25s is that if you aren't top quarter (about), then you won't be able to pay off your debt. Therein lies the merit of the argument that full rides at TTTs are better than sticker T25s. Neither is really a great option.Desert Fox wrote:With minimal debt, shit law won't be that bad.ndirish2010 wrote:If OP isn't in the top 40% he/she is in big trouble regardless of scholarship situations from SJU.quixotical wrote:I think DF makes an important point-- if you don't get top 40%, you're in big trouble.

You can add one by editing your original post and scrolling to the bottom where the poll options are.TracyLynn wrote:I'm sorry about the poll.. can anyone tell me how to add one? I've been told by SJU that they do not stack sections, but like some have said, it will be tough no matter what. I know ND at sticker is bad, but I keep thinking about the opportunities at ND compared to St. John's. I'm already in debt from undergrad, so I know taking out more than necessary is a bad choice. I guess ND is just my dream school and I'm looking for a way to justify it. Thanks everyone!
I understand the feeling. As someone who wanted to go to ND my entire life, it's not hard to see where you're coming from. But I can't advise anyone to take out sticker for a 1/3 chance at a good job (that may even be a bit optimistic, but by 2014 it should be close to reality).TracyLynn wrote:I'm sorry about the poll.. can anyone tell me how to add one?

ND is arguably (or not so arguably) better for NY than SJU. You just need to do a lot of mass mailing, but I would imagine that the top 10% at ND would have a shot at NYC.Danteshek wrote:Go to ND. Don't subject yourself to the New York market.
