It's because I was still tooooo fresh to know any better. But real talk, I would have done anything that day
I mostly don't care if people are able to identify me. I'm a prolific enough poster that adcomms would be hard pressed to go through all of my posts to identify me.

(That's honestly part of why I don't mind that I spend all day on here, it provides cover)

Yea I figured that too, but I made it extra hard.

No one has time to read through posts haha. UVA has to know us though; if they don't, I would willingly tell them haha.
True. My UVA hype is pretty strong too.
Scholarships will obviously play a big role in my decision but I think it would be hard to lure me away from UVA at this point as long as scholarship offers are at least comparable.

Debt has started to sink in since my first acceptance. I am really keen on scholarships, but yea if things are comparable....

Really? Even between UVA and NYU all things being equal?
For the time being, UVA has stolen my hype, primarily because of clerkship numbers.

And because I'll probably be there, right?!

mylsn gives you a ~40% chance if you ED and a 9% chance RD. Of the ED people, 0 received money. Of the RD 1 person received 30K.

In making this decision you have to ask yourself if you have an extra $300K lying around.

If the answer is "No" then don't do it.
If the answer is "Yes" probably still don't do it.

Ben with the rational approach and I agree. I felt the same way with Michigan, but the 300k debt is not worth the ED, even if it is your dream school. Apply RD and if you get in, great and maybe ask for some aid. If not, your numbers are competitive with some t20 schools where you can get some money.

Yeah, I know you guys are right. The preftige really had me there for a minute. It's certainly tempting for someone on the edge though, but at the end of the day I just want minimal debt and big law Thanks for talking me off the edge; best of luck this cycle.
