opportunity cost doesnt make sense unless its a top 10 school - decided against columbia for other reasons

I can't imagine a real reason for not at least applying for leverage. Tbh, I can't imagine having a real reason to go to NYU but not Columbia (assuming equal costs).

you are obviously overlooking school colors; just compare that bold purple to CLS's weak-ass baby blue

um excuse me, but that weak-ass baby blue has a name

Who the hell researched the school colors of all those high schools?

Finally, someone's asking the real questions.

[Skool]

No but really, how does one even begin to collect this data initially, let alone verify that it's up to date.

Well, every high school that has a wiki page also has its colors named in the color section of the wiki page. So I'm sure there's some script that can auto-assemble all the "columbia blue" listed schools based on that.

i have a job - law school would be helpful towards my goals, but isnt necessary and definitely not worth moving

Isn't there another law school in town with similar outcomes as NYU?

yeah why not Fordham

Oh, you.

Trap school

Is the generally accepted definition of a trap school anything in the top 50 but outside of T14? I've read some of the other threads/explanations but still don't know if I really have a good feel for it.

tuition that puts you in massive debt, small chance of getting a job to pay off that debt

The Fordham comments are just entirely untrue. The school has a major pull in New York City. While you might not end up at the top top firms, they have a huge alumni network and regional pull.

I'm not going to Fordham or a Fordham student. Not everyone can go to NYU. If you can raise your stats enough to vie for a scholarship, Fordham is far from a bad option and is a great opportunity. And I'm not saying like everyone always so rudely does, "oh you have a 162 just study you'll get a 174 and go to NYU". But Fordham with scholarship which many people do is a great regional option. The posters can be often extremely jaded here and it's frustrating for someone even with no personal interest/connection to Fordham.

This is the problem. Fordham is incredibly stingy with money. People don't think of WUSTL as a trap school because they are so generous with scholarships.

[Mack.Hambleton]

So every school below Cornell?

No lol are you serious. Tuition for trap schools is 50k+ tuition at regional schools esp. state flagships is much much lower. Wyoming law is 13k yr for example

+1 and you have to take into consideration the living costs of attending school in NYC (vs St. Louis, for example)

[Skool]

1) It's expensive to attend.

(2) It's located in what the sort of people who go to law school tend to consider a desirable place to live (obviously these first two factors are related).

(3) It has superficially attractive employment and salary statistics.

A trap school, in other words, is the kind of place that attracts the kind of highly-qualified, reasonably prudent 0Ls who would never consider attending the vast majority of law schools at anything like sticker price, and yet still ends up generating a very high risk of financial and personal disaster for its students.

Why are we talking about Fordham on the NYU thread? Last time I checked this is for NYU c/o 2018 applicants which means everyone here already applied to NYU. If you have an issue with Fordham its as simple as not going there..save the drama for outside of this forum where those of us #dlsnevers don't have to enviously read about comparing scholarship/tuition prices to other schools when we don't even have a decision yet.

Have a lovely day

Yes, stop this Fordham discussion. I need to continue crying over my UR2 1/18 #DLSNever :(:(
