Chance for $?
3.79/168 was wondering if I had a legitimate chance at $ at any of UCLA/Vandy/UT/.
Weak softs though.
Also if I got into Cornell (big if) would it be worth sticker over any of the three above if I got a little bit of $?

Re: Chance for $?
I'd say no. The little money you might recieve from UT/UCLA/Vandy would not be worth the Ivy (lol) status and the more versitile job prospects. Its just me though.

Lol, well the Ivy status is really a nonfactor for me since it just seems to boost lay prestige if anything which I have no interest in.Ragged wrote:I'd say no.

I guess it's retake time. Time to get ready for the next cycle.

Booya had a story about an employer favoring double-Ivyness. I'd consult her to see what are her thoughts.Ragged wrote:I dunno.

Looks real. But you are absolutely right, we need more pics to confirm.

Re: Chance for $?
I wish I had some insight, but I applied two years ago, and I was a splitter. My experience is probably irrelevant to your cycle. UT's numbers seem to be getting more and more competitive. Nonetheless, your stats are solid, and I suspect you'll have a successful cycle. I retook a 171, so don't fret if it comes down to that. It's worth it in the long run if it saves you $100K.whymeohgodno wrote:On topic though how are my chances at Cornell/UCLA/Vandy/UT in general?

I've already answered this before but with the start of the real cycle I'll not answer to keep a bigger sense of anonymity.Ragged wrote:ResolutePear wrote:Personally, I keep trying to figure out if the avatar's her real pic.MrKappus wrote:Every time I read OP's username I laugh.

Anyways anyone else? Chances?

Re: Chance for $?
The answer to your second depends on your ideal market. If you want to stay local, I suspect that any of those schools will outperform Cornell, in which case you should choose them even without $. For portability, Cornell is the clear answer.

If things go according to last cycle I think I have a decent/good shot but with my weak softs+ Cornell's applications+medians increasing...I'm thinking I'll fall below LSAT median and just at GPA median.MissLucky wrote:i saw you say somewhere else that you are likely going to get waitlisted at cornell. i definitely think you're getting in there though.whymeohgodno wrote:Shameless bump.

Re: Chance for $?
where do you want to work homie?
I think you are in at most of those schools, the money will be minimal. Can you get in state in texas after the first year? That might be a consideration.
