Choices:
FSU - In-state, no Scholarship
Temple - Out-of-State, Sticker
Rutgers-Camden - OOS, possibly get in-state first year, 10k/yr with 3.5 GPA
American - OOS, Sticker
Penn State - OOS, Sticker
If admitted: W&L, Sticker, over everything else
If admitted: GMU, Sticker, over everything else
If admitted: W&M, Sticker, over everything else
If admitted: UF, in-state, Sticker, over everything else
Waitlisted: W&L, GMU
Pending: UF, Villanova, W&M, UPitt
Department of Backstory:
Currently live and work in Florida, would very much like to get OUT of Florida. However, I am unsure as to if I would like to LIVE INDEFINITELY outside of Florida. I mainly just want to get out so I can figure that out. I have never lived anywhere other than Florida and I am pretty sick of it. But I could go to American and decide, you know I miss flip flops year round I want to be closer to my family. I just don't know yet.
Ideally I would work in DC, but if not I would likely just want to come back to Florida.
Public Interest/Government is what I am currently interested in (looking into the DOJ honors program and federal clerkships specifically). But that could change since I could take torts and decide I have found my life partner. I don't want to commit myself before I have even take my first class.
If you say one of the "If admitted" choices, what would be your next pick from the schools I have actually been admitted to.
I just feel like I am missing something obvious, and my own personal hangups keep me from seeing an obvious choice, so thank you for your opinions!
