Where should I go next fall? / Are my debt estimates correct (Temple and Drexel)« on: March 14, 2007, 06:25:47 PM »
I am trying to decide between a full ride at Drexel and 12k/yr at Temple (i am out of state). This is what i calculate
-20,000/year to live in Philly and buy books. Drexel=Approx 40k debt. Do you think i would be able to work off 20k during 2L summer from a brand new school? Tuition=$0 Living=$60k Work= -20k 40k Temple Tuition=40k Living= 60k Work=-20k 80k Do you think Drexel would really be 40k or would it be closer to 50k or 60k? Do you think the extra $$$ is worth it to attend Temple? 24

How much $$$ can you expect to make during your 2L summer? I am trying to calculate the debt i would incur at Temple vs. another lower ranked school that gave me a full ride.

Where should I go next fall? / Can you transfer from a "provisionally" accredited school?« on: February 22, 2007, 12:37:36 AM »
Just wondering if I could potentially transfer from Drexel after my 1L since they should get provisional accreditation by the end of my 1L.

Where should I go next fall? / Re: Temple job prospects in Philly?« on: February 21, 2007, 09:50:35 AM »What would you recommend doing to prep over the summer? I know that i can work extremely hard for those 9 months, i am just worried that everything else (squeezing into the top 30/20/10%) is just going to be a crap shoot.Yea its just those of us who couldn't get into a T14 don't have the luxury upenn people do (im not bitter just being realistic). The thing is that being able to get the grades to transfer (probably still have to be top 20%)is extremely difficult as well. I guess then you only have to maintain those grades for one year instead of three. Drexel seems to minimize the effect of the lack of alumni with their coop program. Doing two (six month)coops plus a SA position seems like a good way to bolster my resume. That combined with minimal debt seems appealing. 27

I guess then you only have to maintain those grades for one year instead of three. I have become extremely worried about job prospects, and i have made the mistake of venturing onto JDJIVE. I am actually considering taking a scholarship at Drexel because at least that would mean very little debt. I am out of state so attending Temple would likely mean around 100k debt for me

Has anyone here visited www.jdjive.com? This site seems to be filled with people complaining at the job market for people with JD's. Is it really as bad as they make it seem. What about for people looking at upper tier 2 schools?
