cornell is not worth 300kOtunga wrote:What are your goals?
Without knowing, I'd say Cornell, and even with knowing, I'd still probably say Cornell. If your goal is something like Boston biglaw, BU is an option but try to increase that scholarship through negotiation and use the Cornell acceptance as the main selling point. If you can make Cornell, you should be able to get more than a 30K scholarship, unless that is you mean 30K per year, which makes BU a contender against Cornell sticker depending on what you're after.
I agree. I'm only assuming that the person is going to go to LS and not retake. At that point, Cornell at sticker is probably the best choice if only a 30k total scholly at BU.californiauser wrote:cornell is not worth 300kOtunga wrote:What are your goals?

This - Vandy releases scholly's in February (haven't released yet though), GULC March 1st is their official date this year, and Cornell hasn't released any info yet except those who have been invited to apply for the Dean's Scholar award - so in a nutshell give it some time and report in the middle/end of MarchBigZuck wrote:Thread is premature, come back with actual options and helpful info that we can base advice on at a later date.
In the meantime, retake.
apps way down, who knows what'll happenSonofsin wrote:No, I haven't received any information about it yet from them. I'm just assuming I will not get anything based on past data. If I get any sort of money from cornell or georgetown I would undoubtedly go.
I think the listed ones are per year.Hutz_and_Goodman wrote:What are your numbers? I don't understand how you can only get 40k at W&L and into Cornell.
I would do 120k at W&L way before sticker at Cornell.Otunga wrote:I think the listed ones are per year.Hutz_and_Goodman wrote:What are your numbers? I don't understand how you can only get 40k at W&L and into Cornell.
I think this analysis is as frustratingly oversimplified as the choices presented to us ITT.Hutz_and_Goodman wrote:I would do 120k at W&L way before sticker at Cornell.Otunga wrote:I think the listed ones are per year.Hutz_and_Goodman wrote:What are your numbers?
