From the presentation career services gave at orientation this year, the top five cities were Birmingham, Atlanta, Nashville, Montgomery, Huntsville and Mobile. Supposedly Bham is always number one and the other five fluctuate from year to year.

First year OCIs start tomorrow and the firms that are coming on campus are primarily from B'ham and Montgomery with a couple from Mobile, Huntsville and Tuscaloosa thrown in. There aren't really any from out of state for the 1Ls but that has more to do with the nature of the market (Alabama firms still have 1L summer associate classes whereas most other states do not) than the limitations of the school.

Also, Alabama firms are some of the only in the country that pay 1L SA's

If I'm able to get instate residency granted for years 2 and 3, the cost will only got to 3k a year for going to school. Essentially I could only pay about 12k in tuition for 3 years, which would be awesome. Going to make Alabama very attractive.

Congrats! Just got the same. Given the money, Bama became a much more attractive school as of about 2 hours ago lol.

Went to Hendrix...graduated in 2007. And I'm applying to 9 schools total, most of them pretty safe bets but I need to minimize debt if I can. My list is at http://lawschoolnumbers.com/dejeanhc

Pretty much. When I got the call and the scholly offer bama went from 4th on my list to 1st as of now. They really blew me away when I visited in the Fall and this offer made them even more attractive.

Just got accepted with a full tuition scholly. I must admit I didn't want to spend another 3 years here in Tuscaloosa, but that money's gonna be tough to beat. Here's to another couple of BCSNC's!

I sent mine and got a response from Claude that she will relay the info to the scholarship committee, but nothing since then. It's been almost 2 weeks so I was hoping someone on here had a time frame.

It's been a month since I've seen any movement with my Alabama app. Just a status update would satisfy me...

Dash41 · Post by **Dash41** » Wed Feb 22, 2012 1:36 pm

Alabama gave me 25k/yr, although to be honest, I really can't attend unless I get full tuition due to circumstances. I'm only 6k away from that, but it feels like it would be hard to negotiate that because I don't have an offer like that from a peer school.

Yea they're already pretty generous but it can't hurt to try

Thanks! I hope so. Got excited because an unknown number came up on my phone. It was 305 not 205. Bummer. One digit off...

Got a call last Friday from Assistant Director Cotton, convinced me to apply. Sent the rest of my apps in early October so super late submission here. Applied 2/26, updated to in review 2/28. Hoping for a quick turn around!

Been in review since 1/20/12. Anyone else spend a "long" time in review, or am I a special snowflake?
