I feel like TLS definitely helped me make the right decisions in regards to LSAT prep (although those were my lurking days lol) and wondering your opinion on this scenario..

That's because NYU is usually really stingy with merit aid, but you got a great scholarship so your situation is a bit different. Of the two, I'd pick NYU in a heartbeat, but a lot of that is just personal preference. I think you should definitely negotiate with Duke, even if you prefer NYU, though.JAJAcinco wrote:Whoa! thanks for the speedy response brehs. Care to explain a lil bit? the consensus has been against NYU due to its high cost so many times that I'm unsure if the scholly will make a relevant difference. Prollllyyyy should have mentioned I wanna end up in dc...

If Duke placed as well as NYU, it'd either be the T7 or the T5.beachbum wrote:This is why law students look down on 0Ls.Yeshia90 wrote:lolololololbeachbum wrote:Additional COL isn't enough to justify Duke over NYU.

My apologies. I knew I always liked you, Dany. But then again, you do phrase it as personal preference rather than objective truth, so...Dany wrote:I just said I'd pick NYU.

Although T7 has a nice ring to it.
No. Duke just has lower "academic reputation scores." If you go to Duke, want biglaw, get near median, you get biglaw.If Duke placed as well as NYU, it'd either be the T7 or the T5.
