Choosing a school for first deposit Forum

[Sciencemeetslaw]

Hey guys!

I need some advice on picking up a school, and paying a first deposit.

So far, I have been admitted to:
- U of Houston
- Georgia State U
- Penn State U (full scholarship)
- Chicago-Kent (90,000$ guaranteed scholarship for three years
- American U (scholarship, but haven't checked how much yet)

....And some other schools that I will probably not go

I'm okay with all of the locations, so location is not a primary factor for me, as I would be an international student anywhere. And I don't have a preference for any city. Scholarship is not the primary consideration factor either. With all that being taken into account, which school would you guys recommend me the most? Like, in terms of easiest to find employment, higher starting salaries, etc. I am intending on studying IP law, and I have a science background.

And, my second question is about the waitlist. So far, I have not been rejected by any school, BUT i have almost been waitlisted to many schools that I would like to attend, these include:
- William and Mary
- Indiana Maurer
- UC Hastings
- Washington and Lee
- U of Richmond

I have already sent a continued letter of interest, and I cannot take the LSAT in June anymore. With your previous experience, is there anything else that I can do?? Has anyone been waitlisted before, and what have you done to get off the waitlist?

Thank you very much!!

Employment prospects from all of the schools you've been admitted to are not good.

You say you want to do IP law, but where do you want to work? What is your LSAT and GPA?

You say location and scholarship money aren't factors for you when those should be some of the most important factors to consider! Those schools are regional schools so if you go to one of them then you best feel comfortable staying in that state/area. Why can't you take the LSAT anymore? Have you taken it 3 times in the past 2 years??? Scholarship money is very important because you don't want to drown yourself in debt from these schools, that could've been prevented by a higher LSAT score would you?

Go check out law school transparency.

Why bother asking this question if you are not even willing to put in the simple effort it takes to check your scholarship?

Because I cannot access their website, and so I was only able to call this morning during working hours. When I posted this message, it was already evening, how am I supposed to check

Penn State is amazing, so is American.
