They aren't taunts. The helpful info is to retake the LSAT.darby girl wrote:General Tso wrote:romothesavior wrote:rad law wrote:PS you need to retake the LSAT.
You know, you could throw some helpful info in with the taunts!!!
One of my best gf's from HS goes to U.Denver for UG. She rants and raves about the area all the time. U. Denver Law is kinda down there on the rankings though. Colorado is also cheaper (even though hopefully denver would throw me some bones). It's kinda funny, I havent seen snow since I was like, 8, and the change of scenery sounds appealing. I wonder why its degree GPA on the index..?romothesavior wrote:
Are you considering Colorado now?
you know I felt the same way. I got into CU Boulder law, deposited, and almost attended. I visited Denver and Boulder and was completely underwhelmed. Many people love it there, but I strongly recommend that you visit before making such a huge decision.darby girl wrote:One of my best gf's from HS goes to U.Denver for UG.

Yep.. Denver/Boulder area, while nice, is horribly overrated and horribly expensive..and on top of that it doesnt even offer a whole lot of the higher salaries of a lot of places with high cost of livingGeneral Tso wrote:you know I felt the same way.

For me, Denver was like a slightly better version of Dallas. Boulder is a nice, interesting city. But it's so expensive that living there long term is unlikely, not to mention it is about a 35-45 minute drive into the city.

Denver isn't the only place to experience snow. Don't forget about the NE, Midwest, and Pacific West (CA has Tahoe and Big Bear, OR and WA have the Cascades and BC).
Yea.. sorry to disappoint but the weather in the boulder area is fairly mild and its kind of in the valley. Good ski areas are about an hour and a half to two hours away. If ever get a chance you should go up Vail way.. its pretty nice and very touristy.darby girl wrote:General Tso wrote:I can understand the snow attraction too, since I grew up in the South.

honestly i have no idea where I'm applying. It just seems like Boulder is a place I would enjoy for the 3 years I would spend there. I don't think I would be accepted though, but if they do the degree GPA AND ED does help a decent amt, I'd have a shot. I am totally going to visit though. Ski trip!
Keep in mind that you'd spend 3 years in Boulder and many, many subsequent years in Colorado.darby girl wrote:General Tso wrote:I can understand the snow attraction too, since I grew up in the South.

I wouldn't ED. Even if you have the money, it's sort of a waste.darby girl wrote:One of my best gf's from HS goes to U.Denver for UG. She rants and raves about the area all the time. U.

shock259 wrote:I agree that some people get TOO into the Denver/Boulder loving. I grew up there and I can say that the COL is waaaay cheaper in most parts of the Denver metro area than in Boulder. There are apartments near my mom's house that start in the low 200's for a 1BR that is about a 20-25 min drive from downtown Denver and directly next to public transit.
CU Boulder's tuition is a bit higher than expected for in-state. From what I can tell, CU does quite well in the somewhat insular market.
So I think it could be a pretty good choice. But this is coming from a 0L Denver resident.
Good luck to you.
what kind of numbers? i got in OOS with 3.8/162kalvano wrote:This is the second time you've asked if a school takes the degree instead of cumulative GPA. They don't. No school that you would want to go to does.
It's a fact of law school admissions. Deal with it and stop trying to get around it.
And I doubt you make it in to CU. They tend to favor in-state pretty heavily. I was WL'ed with better numbers than yours.
In a word, yes.romothesavior wrote: Lame party?
