Law School Discussion

with the disclaimer of having never been to arizona, i say new mexico because you get both. have you ever been to santa fe? now that is a cool town. further north, you have taos, another cool town. then you have the sandia mountains right outside albequerque...

arizona will probably have the best career prospects, but new mexico has been on the rise as of late... (they rejected me).

31, but i may do a joint degree. in that case i would be 32.

...but i'm a step ahead b/c i recently found out i have a 401k... with $200 in it.

I thought it might come off as presumptious to ask without having received an offer? You don't think so?

the feeling that i get is that schools generally prefer not to grant deferrals. i would wait UNLESS, you applied late in the cycle and other people with similar numbers who applied earlier were admitted. then it's simply a matter of space and they might be happy to grant you a spot in next year's class.

But aren't all waitlists "simply a matter of space"?

my bad, i was thinking they hadn't been waitlisted yet (cuz that's me). perhaps it's worth a shot...

edit: couldn't this serve as a disincentive for them to admit off the waitlist this year? but perhaps given the uncertainty involved you be ok with this?

yeah, i have no idea what to do. both schools are across the country and i'm hoping to share with a roommate to cut costs. the fact that there's a tight rental market at the school A makes me feel like it wouldn't be too difficult to unload my lease if i get into B, but still i feel that's kind of a dicey move.

So if A and B end up costing ~same, B would be your preference over A and C pwns both A and B?

C>B>A?
