I see... my interest for PI is actually sincere, but I am also well aware of the financial difficulty that I have to face once I am in that route.… maybe this means that I am not as sincere as I should be?Elston Gunn wrote:Also, be aware that "interested in PI or biglaw" means you're gunning for private practice. PI orgs probably won't hire you unless you're demonstrably a true believer.
If the sincerity is backed up by stuff on your resume, that's probably fine for PI (though it could be an issue for biglaw). You should get CSO of BC to put you in touch with some BC people who are aiming for PI to get a better sense of what's needed out of therekimsatcat wrote:I see... my interest for PI is actually sincere, but I am also well aware of the financial difficulty that I have to face once I am in that route.… maybe this means that I am not as sincere as I should be?Elston Gunn wrote:Also, be aware that "interested in PI or biglaw" means you're gunning for private practice.

True! However, I just wanted to know people's opinion on this if everything else is equal (if that is possible)...CanadianWolf wrote:Depends upon where you want to live & work after law school, in my opinion.
No Midwest tie.... I do prefer east coast, but I am also willing to relocate to anywhere that I can get a decent job.Elston Gunn wrote:Oh and I misread the OP about ties. Thought you had northeast ties Do you have ties to the Midwest? Where do you want to work?

While you might be willing to up and move to wherever, it's probably easier said than done convincing a firm that you are there for the long haul basically sight unseen.
Go back and ask each school for more money. You can negotiate playing each school off the other, in your case, you aren't really sure what you want. Use that to your advantage. You have nothing to lose.kimsatcat wrote:I recently got some $$ from BC, so it is now ...
BC ($75-) vs WUSTL ($90-)
What would you do?
Again, do not have any regional preference, and little (to no) tie in Boston and New york.
I am also interested in PI or Biglaw....
My worries for each schools..
BC - Market is good and BC does well, COL?
WUSTL – Good school, Good money. Bad market…?
Just want some last min inputs from you guys, Thank you!!
Oh. and still no news from my T14s... If that matters...

Thanks wustl admissions!mwoodson wrote:Is the BC one a merit scholarship? If so, be careful! WUSTL guarantees their scholarships for years 2 and 3 while a lot of merit-based scholarships are hard to maintain after the first year.
If you're alive, go to class(?), turn in your memos, and take your exams, you will be in good standing.In order to remain in good academic standing and not subject to exclusion, a J.D. student must maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0, measured at the end of each academic year, as well as achieve an average of 2.0 for each year’s work.
