especially since a lot of these WLs are t20, and will likely be $0
mexicanellewoods
13:54
and GW gave you pretty good scholly too, can't pass that up
WilliamNot
13:55
so not worth it to go there for no money, leaving UVA, Mich and maybe GULC WLs, making the chances of WL low
AnxiousExistence
13:57
I'm between BU and GW. Similarly ranked and same aid. Both place similarly in big law, I believe. So it's a conundrum
mexicanellewoods
13:57
@AnxiousExistence: I think at that point it's just deciding on which location is more appealing to you!
WilliamNot
14:05
yeah i still have an outstanding (like haven't received) BU app, but i like dc more than Boston
AnxiousExistence
14:05
Yeah good point - might have to plan some last min travel in the next two weeks to make an informed decision
AnxiousExistence
14:06
based on Reddit posts about not hearing from BU, you're in good company! Either way, seems like you heard from the one you wanted :)
mexicanellewoods
14:08
I've gone to both DC and Boston, I'm sure whichever you choose you'll be happy
mexicanellewoods
14:08
beautiful cities with lots do it
mexicanellewoods
14:08
lots to do**
AnxiousExistence
14:08
@mexicanellewoods: <3 thanks for the reassurance
AnxiousExistence
14:09
Are you set on USD or would you entertain an offer from GW?
mexicanellewoods
14:15
I think now that I know it's a binding commitment I'm not sure if I'd entirely entertain it, UCLA is my top choice and I somehow got waitlisted with my score so I kind of want to hold out
mexicanellewoods
14:15
plus my goal is to practice/live in california long term
mexicanellewoods
14:15
so USD rn is my best option I feel, even if the ranks are in entirely different categories

169 really is the magic number for GW and peer schools. Feels hopeless if you're below. :((
WilliamNot
10:31
sorry king, it does look like they're trying to up that median
WilliamNot
11:38
to my GW friends (elle), looks like i'll be going to GULC instead
mexicanellewoods
18:33
@WilliamNot WOOO CONGRATS
mexicanellewoods
18:34
how are you feeling?
WilliamNot
10:27
been riding the high for days but the debt has since tamped it a little
WilliamNot
10:27
luckily i'm gonna do PI so LRAP got my back
mexicanellewoods
11:09
no scholly?
WilliamNot
14:23
prob not or v small
mexicanellewoods
16:27
the debt will eventually pay for itself at GULC
mexicanellewoods
16:27
happy to see that you'll be pursuing PI
mexicanellewoods
16:27
you got this!!
