I cant believe im about to go 200k in debt for law school
I guess i dont have any other debt, but it’s killing me.
9:15

@lawdeedahh: congrats on getting into ur #1
suddy

Which school will you attend, Lion? Columbia seems to be a good option with the scholarship.

She told me my payment is increasing lol
Yeah, i heard they dont really negotiate Butlers but I’m hoping to squeeze a few bucks out of them with what I get from UVA and NYU. CLS seems to be where im heading though for sure
suddy
9:18
If you got HYS, would you take that?
Super happy with CLS though. Was a little nervous about their fed clerkship #s, but I recently learned they place 41 fed circuit clerks a year, which is only 4 less than UVA despite their conservative presence.

That isn't bad at all
9:21
sorry just saw but thank you @ImpartialLion!
You know, I thought about it. I think I may be heading for the HLS WL (could be wrong). I heard you put down the deposit at HLS before seeing your scholarship if you get off the WL and I don’t know if I’ll do it. I have a long term gf (6 years) and we’ve always planned on moving to nyc to start our careers. I’m originally from there so it would be cool to show her where I grew up as a kid. I don’t think i can give up that ease + possibly go 300k+ in debt
Sorry for the long message😂
