NYU Law Class of 2011 Forum

Regarding underdawg's post above, I've seen and talked to a lot of NYU people who seem to think that the program will be making great strides in the field of academia. I was pretty impressed with the plans they have.

I've been looking at lenders, and it looks like Sallie Mae/Nellie Mae offers a pretty good little package. No origination fee, .25% off if auto-enrolled, and a rebate down the road...

Thoughts?

Where'd you find those? The one's I see have 2.5-3.0% origination fees...

I went through the bank websites last night, off of a financial aid website link. Most of the fees are 2.5%-3%, but some of the lenders offer no origination fees according to the sites. Wachovia seems to have a new plan that does this, though the website says mixed things, and then I saw the Nellie Mae with the rebate down the road...

Everything I start looking at this stuff I feel a sense of dread and panic. It is soooo much $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!

just talked to nellie mae. they're not even offering federal loans anymore. it seems that most of these websites are outdated... aargh.

I checked with the Wachovia people today. It seems that they are still in the game.

I've noticed a couple of you have mentioned roommate assignments--how do you know who you're paired up with? I got the "here's your room number" e-mail, but it lacked any roommate info.

good thing senator mccain has a back-up plan, but he'll need to do a lot of cramming to learn a whole semesters worth of materials between november 8th and finals.

Hmm...mine just stopped after phone number. Maybe I don't have a roommate yet.

Thanks!

Just a hunch...maybe you're in a single?

McCain is just passing on living in the White House.

McCain is just passing on living in the White House.

y'know, if you're excited about that possibility, there may be some spots left at chicago or uva...

Figured I would do my part in balancing the blue tide in the Village. SOMEONE has to mitigate the Obama-love that's bound to explode in the Fall.

This is a frenzy that I can't wait to witness. As an observer only.

i'm sure there will be some nader or barr voters around to give us some diversity.

That would be nice...a Mercer F-suite all to myself. No, I called this afternoon and they said roommate information would come later. How much later, I have no idea. Was there a significant lag between receiving your room assignment and receiving your roommate info?

[VaultBound]

Came in the same email.

[aguyingeorgia]

Summer is flying by!!!!! EGADS!

[iceman]

Anyone in the city already?

[Olto]

I work in the city - around all summer... there's a thread in the facebook group about a possible meet-up. Looking forward to it. Are you around iceman?

[iceman]

Just moved here. Haven't checked out the facebook group for a while. I have kind of limited internet access right now. I will check out the facebook thread.

[VaultBound]

Stealing wireless from upstairs?

[iceman]

Geez, how did you know?

Yeah, its kind of intermittent access for me until wednesday when my saviours from time warner cable show up.

[iceman]

Anyone know of a pub near NYU to watch the Euros at?

Financial Aid FYI:

Assuming:
-Received the big $0 in your award letter
-Use $20,000 from summer employment from both summers for following year's expenses
-Take out max in Stafford and GradPLUS (after applying $20,000 from above)
-Take advantage of all incentives offered
-Keep your loans for their full life (10 years; not as important but still involved in the calculation)

Total paid to receive $157,230 from Wachovia: $246578.88
Total paid to receive $156,924 from Citibank: $268,219.20

Savings with Wachovia : $24,640.32

Thought I'd share the info. Enjoy the debt.

Edited for clarity.

We don't need to do the entrance interviews from mappingyourfuture.org right? I guess we just do that stuff at school? Just at the end of the HESC process it sent me there but I didn't see NYU on the school list.

[afroette]

now if only we had guaranteed 1L summer employment to save 20k
