You won't regret traveling. I just spent roughly 5 months in Europe, and now I plan on visiting most of the law schools I want to attend after applying, and then going back over there after the new year. I say travel!

That's the right move. You'll be super relaxed, and have a lot to talk about with your new classmates. I'll be in the Scandinavian countries, plus Germany and Netherlands.Hildegard15 wrote:I think I will be quitting in May and then traveling a little bit during the summer. My sister and I had a post graduation plan to go to Europe which had to be postponed since I got a job immediately after graduating, so the hope is to be able to take the trip right before law school.doublehoohopeful wrote:I think the switch flipped for me when I received my June score and I knew I would be attending next year.

Probably quitting in May to travel (if I can save up enough). Any suggestions on low-budget, three-week travel destinations?

I really want to do Vietnam. Singapore would be really cool as well (basing this solely on the Anthony Bourdain episode).urbanist11 wrote:I've heard good things about Thailand

I've only been to China in Asia, so I cannot speak on SE Asia, yet if I were you, I would look to fly into a smaller, less touristy country, and then take a one-way to your destination. For example, when I went to China, I flew into Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Nepal, and then took a One-Way to Beijing, which was almost $1000 cheaper than flying directly into China, and I had a 12 hour layover to explore some obscure parts of another country.JedBartlet2016 wrote:Probably quitting in May to travel (if I can save up enough).

There's so many great places to explore right here in the US. I would just do something fun around here for that month. Rent an RV and just road trip!Seamus887 wrote:I would love to travel before I start, but I have car payments and some other debts that may need up keeping. I hope at least take a month off right before though, and maybe travel somewhere fun. I may ride Harvards wl if I got on, but probably would need to make a decision before July. I think I would like to have it all decided before June.

Agree with this. I took a cross country road trip after undergrad and it was absolutely awesome. We just picked the cities and national parks we wanted to visit and that was our only constraint.fips tedora wrote:There's so many great places to explore right here in the US.

Buffalo is an underrated, yet cheap choice. National Geographic named it #3 for Food Destinations in the world, it's a phenomenal drinking town with the moniker of becoming the Portland of the East Coast, and it's less than 30 minutes away from Niagara Falls/Canada.whacka wrote:I'm probably going to take a roadtrip to somewhere after undergrad but my budget is pretty tight.

Omaha during the CWS is a lot of fun. If you're looking for nature, you really can't beat Montana.fips tedora wrote:Buffalo is an underrated, yet cheap choice.

Re: c/o 2019 Applicant Compendium (2015 - 2016)
I think it depends on why you were waitlisted and the school's needs at that point. If it was YP, you can probably expect to get some good money. If you're a splitter or a reverse splitter and you're helping them hit a target, you can expect money. If they're letting you in because they like you or they feel sorry for you, probably not too much money.basedvulpes wrote:Really depends whether I'm offered good money during the first round of acceptances.
