Yep, y'all need to lower your expectations and just accept CLS at $200,000 debt is the right call

But some of us wanna go into PI.

I really dig that Columbia students get free entry into great museums and discounted tickets for concerts and broadway shows.

Columbia tuition is no longer 100% covered by GI Bill/Yellow Ribbon (an educational funding program for veterans).

That pretty much means that I would have to get shut out at HYS, Chicago, Berkeley, and pretty much every other top 10 school to go.

The only T14 schools not completely covered by the GI Bill are Yale, Georgetown, and Columbia.

And some of us want to go to NYU

And these are not mutually exclusive.

Yeah, I think Columbia's LRAP is pretty good. But I think their PI scholarships are all "secret" and you have to be invited to apply?

edit: quoted far more than I needed too

You're actually pro Berkeley? There's only a handful of us on the whole forum.

I mean, it's the second best law school west of the Mississippi. It was also one of my top picks before, because of its reputation and location. I also think that its slightly lower admissions stats actually substantiate its claims of holistic review. Like, it's hard to take a school seriously when it claims to review the whole candidate and not care about the rankings when its stats are in the 99th percentile. And that culture really appeals to me, the idea that the people going there aren't just good at taking tests.

San Francisco is awesome too.

SORRY GENERAL, I'll stop derailing your thread now...
