ImpartialLion

9:15

lawdeedahh

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

She told me my payment is increasing lol

ImpartialLion

9:17

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?

ImpartialLion

9:18

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.

suddy

9:20

That isn't bad at all

lawdeedahh

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

ImpartialLion

9:21

Sorry for the long message😂

suddy

9:22

No, that makes sense. I know Harvard is wholly based on "demonstrated financial need," so it could very much be up to chance

ImpartialLion

9:23

Yeah and I have a complicated financial situation. Independent college student w/ no parental support or contact. Dont know if they’d honor my independence like my current school does

suddy

9:24

They don't. I tried to get a fee waiver from Harvard and was denied on the basis of my parent's finances, despite being financially on my own for law school.

ImpartialLion

9:24

Would basically entail HLS giving me a full ride if they did given my finances. Might be what’s holding my app back at the need-based schools since it was the topic of my PS
