Georgetown is notoriously stingy when it comes to aid (check out the 509 reports), but I have heard of them responding to GW money. Regarding the others, I think it would take big money to sway the lower T-14, and the output may be small.

Outbox is being dumb. Ideas en route.

Oooh maybe I should apply to GW then. MyLSN has me getting big money at those kinds of schools, so I guess even if they don't work for negotiating, it would be great for my ego.

I hope you're kidding, but since you might not be - I don't think so. I think Chicago and Cornell opened at start of business in their respective time zones, so I assume other schools will be the same.

Does anyone remember seeing past posts about negotiating up the ladder of US News rankings with schollies? I'm terrible at using the search function on TLS and I will freely admit it.

Maybe that's just wishful thinking, but I'd love to get mine done immediately.

How's Baltimore City treating you?

Why did you move to Baltimore, by the way??

Give me the choice between going out and a clean, comfortable bed with a down comforter in a cool room, there is no competition.

By the way, this is an interesting look at the dirt bike groups that have sprung up in Baltimore. I think this actually has the potential to be something really positive if the government and the people work together:

For love! To live with my girlfriend from college, who I've been with long distance since we graduated in 2014. I'm staying with my old job but I'll be working from home until law school starts.

Aww :')

Yeah. I mean, it isn't ideal, but pretty much anything is better than the drug trade.
