Berkeley sticker vs U of A full scholarship Forum

[risingeagle]

I'm in a slight bit of a quandry. I am hesitating between going to U of A full scholarship - or possibly UC Davis full (I'm still waiting for gift aid response) - or going to Berkeley full price.I personally love the school and want to go there but ITE is it worth sticker?

where do you want to practice? if in the South, U of A would probably be a better choice. if in CA, the opposite would probably be true, although a lot of people around her will probably tell you that berkeley at sticker isn't worth it.

In order to receive the best feedback in this forum, please provide as much of the following information in your original post as possible:

-The schools you are considering
-The total Cost of Attendance (COA) of each. COA = cost of tuition + fees + books + cost of living (COL) + accumulated interest - scholarships. Here is a helpful calculator.
-How you will be financing your COA, i.e. loans, family, or savings
-Where you are from and where you want to work, and other places where you have significant ties (if any)
-Your general career goals
-Your LSAT/GPA numbers
-How many times you have taken the LSAT

At a bare minimum you need to specify which U of A you're talking about. But, yeah, goals and ties, etc.

you don't need two threads for this

[romothesavior]

Need more info. Definitely wouldn't go to Boalt at sticker unless someone else is paying.

Given the mention of Davis and West Coast, I'm assuming A is Arizona.

Do you have nothing in between those two options? It sounds like you should have at least some $ at UCLA and USC

Arizona (or Alabama) doesn't make sense if you're from CA and want to practice there.

Glad to see that Alabama registers first for U of A. Roll Tide.

do people say U of A when talking about bama?

Berkeley at sticker is never a good choice. Arizona at full tuition, could be a good choice if your goal is to practice in Arizona and you think you would be happy at small law. If that's not your goal, then I would recommend that you either retake the LSAt and try again next year or that you give up on law school.

Feel free to pm me. I have some relevant experience with those schools.

Short answer: I don't think Berkeley is worth sticker. Just wayyyyy too much debt. Some people will tell you to go for the prestige. I think going to a good school with a good scholly is the better way to go.

Have you visited University of Arizona? I personally didn't like it. If you're a Californian, go to a Californian school. The bar passage rate for the CA bar from U of A was not good the last time I checked. UC Davis is a good option depending on what you want to do and if you get substantial aid (2/3 of tuition or something like that).
