Yea, I feel like a sucker for paying 50k (and soon more) in tuition but I really liked Cornell when I visited. I hope that if I put in the work, I'll be able to pay my loans back pretty quickly. Cornell's career services did seem pretty awesome so I think it will work out.

Someone mentioned at ASD (not sure if it's true or not) that Cornell was the first law school to break $50k/yr.

32.

http://www.lawschool.cornell.edu/admiss ... t_year.cfm
First Year law students benefit from small classes and a close-knit learning environment. In the first semester, all students are assigned to a small section of only 32 students in Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Contracts, or Torts, and in Lawyering, taught by a faculty member.

keep that in mind. one substantive + lawyering. the other 3 substantive classes have ~100 students.

Okay people, looks like my cycle's over. I'm still on a few waitlists but, in all likelihood, I'll be joining you all in Ithaca. Can't wait!

Anyone have thoughts on this place? --LinkRemoved--

Yeah. There are 6 sections, A-F, of 32 students. Most classes are combinations of two or three sections. I wasn't saying the classes are all that small, but we do have enough people for 3/4 of a section in this thread.

Once we figure out sections I'm probably down for a TLS study group. But of course you will have to send me your resume, undergraduate transcript and personal statement before you are allowed in





jk, lame Columbia joke.
