80k for Cornell. Full tuition at SLS. So after GradPlus I'd owe about 180k from Cornell and 270k from Stanford (COA is ~78k/yr). Ties to NYC and SF. Not sure what type of law i want to practice yet.

To be fair,

"Better to get AIDS from a filthy fat black homeless man or a buff, sexy clean cut white bro?"

"Latter..."

"...But either way, you still have AIDS afterwards."

dude have you figured out what your loan payments are going to be? I highly suggest you think this over before you ruin your life with debt.

Stanford. Far more prestige, better weather, not isolated like Ithaca. Nobody outside of the northeast even knows what Cornell is.

How long will it take to repay 270k vs 190k though assuming a get a firm job. Isnt that like an additional 2 years of your 20s just to get to the same place. XO has made me so leery of debt idk what to do. I kinda want to be in NYC long term too and Cornell does well there. Then again, I have friends from the Bay Area and saw Stanford does way better for clerkships

So CR. There is absolutely no scenario that would make this a good decision for OP. That is a crippling amount of debt under the best of circumstances. Have fun living like a hobo on 160k in NYC/SF for EIGHT YEARS while you pay down this debt.

If these are your only options, you went about this whole thing wrong.

Have you talked to Cornell admissions about getting more money? Tell them you got into Stanford, but that you are very concerned about graduating in debt. See if they can kick up the scholarship money. I did this with a variety of law schools when I applied. Not all increased the scholarship, but some did.

The difference isnt that substantial, you are already debt pwned and you shouldnt go to lawschool. But if you HAVE to for some reason, def pump Cornell for more $$ and go there. Then get BIGLAW, ideally in a low COL market and start grinding it out.

"5. Who in the world is Ryan Lee? He showed up on Sunday at the registration table and asked to sign in. We did not have a packet with his name on in it, but no problem on our end. We always make up extras for those few admits who show up without RSVPing. We didn’t question him when he said who he was – who signs in as an admit if they’re really not an admit? Well, apparently Ryan Lee does. He picked up a blank nametag, wrote his name on it and then headed off to a panel. Go figure. So, for those of you who are planning to walk through our doors come August, be on the lookout for Ryan. He might just show up for a class."

LOL..fucking azns.
