I am having a lot of trouble deciding what to do next year. I somehow got a 3.933 (top 10 was 3.622) at a top 50-60 NY school this year, have great friends, and a lot of opportunities arising here (TA, RA, Law Review, Clinic), but I have put in apps to Harvard, Columbia, and NYU. I told my school and they gave me almost full ride (I was getting less than half before) So my questions are...

(1) what are my odds of getting into those schools

(2) if I do get in, should I go. I’m most concerned about having to pay full sticker price at a T14 school, especially given the amazing scholarship to my current school.

Let me know what you think.

Don’t know odds be t is your current school know the city where you want to practice? Sometimes being the biggest fish in a smaller pond is better than being a small/medium fish in a larger pond. If you transfer you will be losing a lot of tangible things that will separate yourself and. You will be paying full price for 2 years.

If where you currently go to school is within a hour or two from. Your target city, I personally would stay. Less debt= less pressure/ burden.

If. It then things get more complicated.

Regardless, congrats!!
