I was praying I would hear early, so I could start getting things together, but it seems that I will probably be riding some waitlists. I can't imagine trying to buy a house in the middle of all this (although you will be getting a great deal). Looking forward to no homeowner duties/ expenses while in law school.
I was discussing the whole issue with a friend, and he said "Why don't you lease option a house wherever you get in?"
Me: "Oh, I don't know exactly where I will want to end up practicing."
Him: "Just exercise the option and sell it at the same time."
The risk inherent in this proposition, as well as the mental picture of graduating/ taking the bar/getting new job/ putting house on the market/buying new house ALL AT THE SAME TIME, made me break out in a rash.
Good luck to us all in our housing searches and struggles!
