Attending Campbell Law School! Scholarship: $13,500 per year
…I would have a good chance at receiving a substantial scholarship from.

In the end, though I’m taking out more than an additional 100k in loans from Harvard, I knew I’d…
…aid at Stanford. I chose NYU for the half-tuition scholarship, because I was interested in public interest (the PI community at Stanford is smaller than NYU), NYU’s LRAP is marginally better, my support network is in NYC, and I ultimately want to practice in NYC. I think I made the right choice, but trust that I did…
