I was let in off of hold earlier in the week and received a merit aid email about an hour ago for quite a bit more money than I expected.

Same situation. But unfortunately, I called Berk last week asking about negotiations for those of us off the held list and they said they are no longer doing scholarship reconsiderations. So we're pretty much done.scoot456 wrote:*

If you want to stay on the west coast than David should be fine. But Berkeley on the other hand, will give you the ability to move around the country easier if you later decide to. It also depends on what type of law you think you might want to get intokaptainkeepa wrote:Davis with $75000rwajo12 wrote:What are your other choiceskaptainkeepa wrote:Hard decision to choose Berkeley at sticker...lilikoillama wrote:Same situation.

Berkeley was just my dream school. It was a wonder I actually got in. I do want to stay on the west coast, but I also would prefer to move back to Southern California at some point.rwajo12 wrote:If you want to stay on the west coast than David should be fine.

I feel like Berkeley is definitely worth 75k more than Davis for most situations

This is the right answer. Paying sticker is a really rough choice but I think it's better value than Davis with that scholarship.chargers21 wrote:I feel like Berkeley is definitely worth 75k more than Davis for most situations

Law school is an investement and the reality of it is, down the road you'll have way more opportunities with Berkeley on your resume versus having Davis. It's a long term game.kaptainkeepa wrote:Berkeley was just my dream school. It was a wonder I actually got in.

Berkeley was also the dream, hoping to return to California after graduation too. Personally, I would choose Berkeley at sticker over Davis like others have said. I'll be going to Duke with $$ in the fall, which will probably make it a little harder to return, but oh well!kaptainkeepa wrote:Berkeley was just my dream school. It was a wonder I actually got in.

Duke is also a solid choice. If you do well in law school and have West coast roots and ties, you will be fine.
