Paying for a top school

Post by lawstudent212 » Tue Jun 30, 2015 11:11 am

Anyone transfer and get financial aid? People keep discussing that as a possibility and I'm just wondering if anyone has, and if so, was it much? Debating leaving a T2 with a full scholarship, but scared of these sticker prices- $120k in tuition is quite the investment....

For the T14, it looks like HYS, Berkeley, and GULC give aid.

I got need based aid/dean tuition grant from GULC for just under $10k/year. Not sure if that's good/bad/average but I've heard people complain that GULC is stingy so I was happy to get something.

I got nothing, so that's $20k more than me!

Your potential transfer from a NYC Tier Two to a Top 6 plus Penn would be a wise investment of $120,000 if targeting NYC biglaw.
