Syracuse FT vs. Stetson PT vs. IU-Indy PT Forum

[disconnected]

I have deposited at Syracuse. I have received calls from Stetson and IU-Indy today within 10 minutes of each other. BTW taking the LSAT again is not an option. I will not wait another cycle. $8k per year need based grant from Syracuse makes the total cost of attendances equal. I currently live 120 miles from Stetson, 800 miles from Indy and 1200 miles from Syracuse. I have family in Florida, but lots of friends in Indiana, as I worked there 9 years. I will convert to full time at Stetson after the Fall 2013 semester if I have a 2.8+ GPA. Both programs will finish up at the same time, May 2015. But Indy would take 4 years in the PT program. I am over 40, if that enters the equation. I have a masters degree with a 3.79 GPA, but that was 10 years ago, does that make a deference with PT vs. FT. Will I need to ramp back up in academia?

My wife would make $3k per month with the offered job in Syracuse. She would only potentially make $1200 per month in St. Pete / Stetson area and in Indy she could make around $1800 per month. My realistic goals would be Big Law if in the top 10 of the class or public defender / private practice criminal defense if not in the Top 10. I have a slight preference for Florida due to climate, but the prospects of a higher salary in the Indiana and New York is equally appealing.

Do. Not. Go. To. Law. School.

Since you are over 40, I can see why you don't want to retake the LSAT, but really all these options are awful. Awful Awful. What was your job before?

Stetson. Avoid Cuse at all costs.

I wouldn't go.

Got admitted FT to Stetson within an hour of PT acceptance. Stetson is well know in FL. Considering Elder Law too.

Solved.
