Cornell Law school at sticker?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 15th, 2014 5:27 PM Author: curious cobalt scourge upon the earth mexican Cornell just accepted me off reserve, which means my decision suddenly got a bit harder. I've got a trust fund I can access for about 200k worth of educational expenses, but that won't completely cover GWU or especially Cornell. However, it will allow me to delay taking loans until the final year, which means less interest. I don't really like the idea of going into debt, but I'm thinking that it might be my best move.
I'd like to work in New York or especially DC, though I have friends working or studying in all three locations, so that consideration is only moderately important. However, I am a bit worried I wouldn't mesh with ASU's or GW's culture because I'm a bit quieter and nerdier than I hear their student bodies generally are, whereas my friends at Cornell indicate I'd fit in quite nicely there.
Anyone have insights to add to this calculus?

If you want those places take Cornell or GULC.
GW is a trap school |

Date: June 15th, 2014 5:40 PM Author: talented ruddy useless brakes First, let me commend you on academic success and let me welcome you into the profession. I think Cornell is the better fit for you. It has far better access to the big NY firms. Also, it fosters a more collegial and intellectual environment. For instance, at orientation week at GW and ASU, students are permitted to wear shorts, jeans, and sneakers. At Cornell, new students are expected to wear suits for orientation and for exams. Cornell is a more serious place. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2594454&forum_id=2#25755267) |

Seriously, take out fed loans and do PAYE. Even if you get biglaw its sadly the right financial move. |

You'll likely burn out of biglaw before you make the 200k back. |
