Date: July 1st, 2012 1:35 PM Author: mahogany corn cake These are my options bros. Debt load may be ~5-10k less than poasted above with an SA. Want to be in NYC or the Bay Area. Already leveraged acceptances and these are the final numbers. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984003&forum_id=2#20996265) |

Date: July 1st, 2012 1:40 PM Author: Overrated public bath hairy legs Have you done the math on your debt repayment? I wouldn't take any of these options. Your best-case scenario will allow you to pay off $40k a year. HLS may be the only school worth sticker. But you're still going to hate your life in biglaw at some point and wish you could quit...but you won't be able to. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1984003&forum_id=2#20996323) |

NO school of any kind (including medical, etc.) is worth 270k. by the time you start repaying loans it will be 300k+.

(46.5k. + 25k col ) * 3 + unsubsidized interest (2/3 of which is GRADPLUS at 8.5%). That number could be off by 10k maybe but it's close |
|
Date: July 2nd, 2012 4:48 PM Author: navy alcoholic shrine indirect expression 25K col is much too high. you can live there for 17K or less, assuming you get school stipend to cover 1L and SA for 2L.

ucla does well in LA but isn't a national school. tough to get either bay area or nyc from ucla (you're competing w/ stanford/dolt and cls/nyu plus the rest of the top 10). |

Date: July 2nd, 2012 4:42 PM Author: bateful jew Tell Harvard that you can't afford to pay that much and will go to NYU instead. See if they will close the gap. H might be worth an extra $40k. More if you aren't set on grinding BIGLAW (want to clerk, teach, etc.).
Also, if not set on NYC, maybe see if you can leverage a better offer from UChi. Cheaper COL and slightly better placement. Mention NYU's lack of rigor. |
