And yeah, the passage @geauxblue notes *implies* that assets aren't considered in the PSLF plan (at least, not in the exact same way), but I for one am going to ask the HLS financial aid folks to walk me through it in excruciating detail before I sign up for $424K all in over three years
21:07
I’m with you jb
21:08
If you can go BL then exit into a PSLF eligible govt or PI role and get the benefits of LRAP then that’s massive
AnnoyingOpenYogurt
21:08
TY for all the info <3 and yes I will also need them to advise me lol
jb2028
21:09
Oh, and as an added bonus HLS lets you roll in up to $50K for undergrad/joint degrees and up to $15K in bar-related expenses as LIPP-eligible borrowing (for standard as well as PSLF tracks)

It feels weird to spend the ***k I’ve saved and go back to 0. But also scary to take out loans for full coa

Beyond the (extremely generous) topline figures, the area where the HLS plan really shines compared to its peers (And so, I assume, do YLS/SLS, have not researched as much since I have not gotten As) is those fringe questions/cases - no maximum income, lots of ancillary loans can be rolled in, edge-case employment (non-legal nonprofit) is eligible, etc. All the stuff that is not as flashy for prospective students, but can help grads a lot if your law school has more money than God
AnnoyingOpenYogurt
21:14
ah I’m reading the website and u can’t use lipp if you’re borrowing instead of paying w savings, except those 10k x year protected assets
im leaning towards HLS over the BLOS
jb2028
21:18
For a sense of where the HLS endowment really makes a difference, compare to NYU - a peer school with a focus on PI. Under NYU's PSLF plan: Benefits start to phase out at the same $ amount as Harvard ($110K), but the phase-out is steeper (40% vs 30% of marginal dollars), they have a strict asset cap ($100K net worth or less), you can't roll as much debt in from undergrad ($30K vs $50K) or bar prep ($10K vs $15K), and non-legal nonprofit employment is not eligible
21:19
Damn so for NYU you CAN’T do BL then qualify for their plan
21:20
Or would the loans be accounted in your net worth so you still could
jb2028
21:25
I believe they'd be factored into your net worth, so you could do biglaw and then do the NYU LRAP if you slow-walk loan repayment and spend all your biglaw $ on hookers, blow, and increasingly Preſtigious (expensive) private schooling and enrichment for the kids
jb2028
21:25
Many such cases
jb2028
21:26
They just don't seem to make it out of biglaw when their lifestyle collides with the practical realities of government salaries
21:35
