For posterity: there appears to be 40 finalists for the Toll Public Interest scholarship.

Starting to seriously wonder if I'd rather wait and get in (with no $, at this rate) or just be put out of my misery.

Shameless double post - with no reported movement at this point I'm expecting a ding day right before 5.

Thanks, no love from Penn here. I'm definitely a little bummed because there are a lot of things I really like about Penn, but I probably won't wait it out. I've got some other options and I figure this ultimately just makes the final decision a little less tough.
Sorry about the other WL/dings!

Re: University of Pennsylvania Law School C/O 2018 Applicants
Toured last weekend during the law school's spring break. I was impressed by the school, but Philly seemed pretty run down. I had a impromptu conversation with a student there (3L) and he said everyone he knows has done really well at OCI. Faculty was really friendly and they gave me a free shirt. If Penn was in a nicer city I think I would definitely go.

Re: University of Pennsylvania Law School C/O 2018 Applicants
Unless there is a significant scholarship differential, you would probably be better off at NYU––it is a great area in a great city and you will likely get a job at a more desirable firm and the options for public interest will be much better (Penn is kind of just a feeder for big law). Look at reviews of the most common firms for each school on Above the Law. Duke would not be a bad choice either; Penn and Duke are peers. P.S. Although Philly is pretty decrepit, the immediate area around the university is relatively nice, so if you don't mind sort of being stuck in a bubble, it is a very good choice--especially if you can get some money.gentlemanscholar wrote:Toured last weekend during the law school's spring break.

Re: University of Pennsylvania Law School C/O 2018 Applicants
The notion that you will receive "more desirable" firm jobs is just wrong, and Penn's public interest presence has grown substantially. In terms of public interest - Penn competes with NYU and other peers for the same jobs, plus Penn's repayment program is superior to the one in place at NYU. If you would like the a real perspective on the job prospects of Penn students or want to talk about living in Philly feel free to PM me.Alan Grant wrote:Unless there is a significant scholarship differential, you would probably be better off at NYU––it is a great area in a great city and you will likely get a job at a more desirable firm and the options for public interest will be much better (Penn is kind of just a feeder for big law).
