my friends think its a dumb idea but idk i honestly think its smart lol
I don't know. I personally wouldn't do it because it's another few thousand in loans you will have to take it out. I would only do it if your current laptop will be too old/slow for law school.

would maybe invest in an asset that doesnt deplete in value at the speed of light but makes sense to not just have cash sittinng around
11:18
75-85k can get you a lot more than a m3

i think assets go towards the calculation though ^ thats why i don't want to invest it
11:19
what do you think a car is considered
11:20
its an asset listed on your taxes which are used to calculate financial aid

fahk true, i don't know why that slipped my mind
Need-based aid is mostly loans though. I mean law schools are way more stingy with need based aid than undergrad schools.
Merit aid is more common at the vast majority of schools.
11:20
yeah most money thrown at you will be merit based

11:21
dont think ill get merit, below every 25th lsat, above every 75th gpa
babycat
11:21
okay then maybe look at some schools where you will get merit aid
11:21
if you have 75k, that is a year of law school at most places. basically a self funded scholarship

11:21
washu LSAT redacted?
Oh, you have 75k in funds lmao
washu would def give you merit aid
11:22
well he said he was gonna buy a new m3 and it would only take out most of his savings. new m3 is priced between 75-85k rn

nah gotta stay local cant go somewhere, realistically
11:23
if you are concerned with assets playing a part in financial aid then maybe you could set up a trust or an asset in a family member's name
Yeah, I would say taking out less loans would be better than spending it.
11:24
definitely agree with tha

Having that money is not going to impact need based grants much since aside from HYS most schools don't give much need based aid (and it's only in the form of loans).

seems like majority take out massive loans though? i was under the impression a significant chunk of students graduate with 100+ in loans
