Post 1L scholarships are especially stupid Forum

I admit I do not understand your point. Not giving excellent students money just supports the idea that they aren't educational institutions, but companies currently in thrall to rankings.
They should at least attempt to keep up the pretense that they care about educating students and academic excellence.

No, giving a bunch of money to people for their LSAT does that. Giving it top students doesn't wash it away.

This kind of merit aid has no place in a professional school.

lol at helping the status. Nobody missed the people who transferred out my year. If anything it helped our status. What is two years tuition? 110k? That's like 400 a student. You really wanna pay 400 bucks so some dillweed doesn't transfer to U of C? Lol. Fuck that.

Iowa transfers are best transfers.

What are you talking about? NU has like a 4:1 in/out ratio. Forty transfers @55K each is like $2.2M. Surely they could spend like $30K/year for the 10 prestige whores not to leave, and the school would still be up $1.9M. Maybe even less if middling GPA transfers are leaving for peer schools.

I don't see why the two should be connected at all. The question is should EACH one cost me 400 dollars. And to that I say fuck no.

Why would it cost you? It's not like they're going to reduce tuition, give you any type of scholarship. And any infrastructure improvements would only be done years after you graduate.

There is a resaon they kept raising rates, they needed more money. Less need for money, less tuition hikes.
