After spending several years lurking here, I'm honored-- pretty sure these are best compliments I'll ever receive on the interwebs. LolUVA2B wrote:I never thought I'd see the day around here. Am I dead?cavalier1138 wrote:Finally, the perfect go-to-Harvard thread.
That debt really still bothers me and I'd at least consider giving apps another go for a bigger scholarship, butH is undoubtedly the answer currently.bleakchimera2 wrote:After spending several years lurking here, I'm honored-- pretty sure these are best compliments I'll ever receive on the interwebs.

It bothers me as well, and I have thought about it a lot over the past few months. I'm just not all that confident another cycle would turn out better-- I have a couple years of work experience already, and I applied in mid-November. I'm not sure that whatever is missing that is causing schools to like me enough for acceptance, but not love me enough for money, would change with another go.UVA2B wrote:That debt really still bothers me and I'd at least consider giving apps another go for a bigger scholarship, butH is undoubtedly the answer currently.bleakchimera2 wrote:After spending several years lurking here, I'm honored-- pretty sure these are best compliments I'll ever receive on the interwebs.

Yeah, there's no guarantees in the T13 full ride world, so it's understandable to just take Harvard and run.bleakchimera2 wrote:It bothers me as well, and I have thought about it a lot over the past few months.

I could hypothetically retake the LSAT once more, but I scored pretty much within my practice score range and I'm working way more hours now than I was when I studied for the last take. I'm still mulling this over, but I'm more likely to pull the trigger this cycle, for better or worse.
Its because B is broke as fuck.Rigo wrote:Can you push Berkeley for an expedited reconsideration request since you'd have to deposit at Harvard this weekend otherwise? Be like "yo I need to know before Friday."
As of now, I'd say Harvard but it's crazy for H and B to be the same price so they should really try to be more accommodating (I hear they're a disaster with financial aid though so who knows what's going on in that circus).
You want to work in the bay area and have a full ride to one of the two best schools for getting a good job there.bleakchimera2 wrote:Thank you all so much for your advice-- I had made my H decision and was planning to deposit this morning. Then Berkeley came back with a full ride. I've updated OP accordingly. Anddddd now I'm leaning back towards Cal. Please help, TLS, you're my only hope!
People said Harvard because it was cheaper. Go to Berkeley for free if that's what you want. That's what I would do.bleakchimera2 wrote:Thank you all so much for your advice-- I had made my H decision and was planning to deposit this morning. Then Berkeley came back with a full ride.
