General board for soon-to-be 1Ls / Need a description of OCI process« on: January 05, 2008, 10:37:18 PM »
I need a good source with general information about what OCI is like at most schools. (Not a Wikipedia article)
Does anyone have a good internet source that I could cite for a journal article? Thanks in advance for your help! 82

Financial Aid / Re: Loans for part-time students with significant income and savings?« on: January 02, 2008, 11:18:40 PM »
You can get loans if your income is low enough. The loan probably won't be subsidized though.

Financial Aid / Re: College Cost Reduction & Access Act of 2007 (Loan repayment just got easier)« on: January 02, 2008, 11:17:32 PM »
The poster who indicated that this law will probably benefit more grads from non-top 14 schools was right on target - most other schools don't have adequate LRAPs right now.
As for the person who said, I will believe it when I see it: you are seeing it. This is LAW now. Do you mean that you are waiting to be a follower and see how someone else handles their debt under this law? ;-) For those who are interested: Philip Schrag wrote a Hofstra Law Review article on this topic, to be published very soon. You can access it on SSRN or via the Equal Justice Works website. The purpose of this law wasn't to lure people away from BIGLAW; the purpose was to help those who wanted to work in public interest but were either suffering low standards of living to do so, or who were choosing more lucrative positions for strictly financial reasons. No one is going to get rich providing legal services to low income people, but with help from this law, they can stop living like students while working as attorneys. 85
Reviews, Visits, and Rankings / Re: I could REALLY use some help« on: January 02, 2008, 11:09:18 PM »
I have the same soft factors, and I don't think that they helped a whole lot. Is there a reason for the low GPA (difficult major or life issue)? You might try the kinder gentler Midwest.

Law School Applications / Re: Curves & Conditional Scholarships« on: January 01, 2008, 10:45:53 PM »
I am a damn genius and the curve has been hard at my school. Don't count on getting a 3.3. It's harder than you think!

Recommendations / Re: Am I screwed?« on: January 01, 2008, 10:43:56 PM »
I had a similar problem with professors...so I contacted every single one. I found one who understood the situation and let me call him and discuss my goals, interests and undergrad career for 30 minutes so he was able to write a very personalized letter. Try that!
