What do I do?!?! -- Penn $$$ vs. Harvard

[Judge Smails]

Looks good on you, though.

If you go to HLS you can flash your genitals and tout that you go to Harvard Law when you get arrested like this DB:

Thank you for the idea.  I have now decided that HLS is the only place for me.  I and my genitals will hopefully see you there next year.

He actually won, all charges were thrown out...

He actually won, all charges were thrown out...

The proof is clearly in the pudding.

Or the junk, as the case may be.

I hate to drag up a thread that's well and done, but some people asked to know my decision, so...

It's Harvard!

I talked with Harvard's admissions office and financial aid office, and they helped persuade me. I talked with several current lawyers who all gave me lots of advice, one in particular who faced my exact same decision. And I found my gut.

Everyone kept telling me to trust my gut, but since I kept wavering I couldn't really tell what my gut was saying. Ironically, it was from reading a few posts on this thread saying "you seem to want to go to Penn, so you should just go there," that I realized my gut was telling me Harvard. These posts made me indignant..."How could they think I liked Penn better when I feel like I like Harvard better??"---> followed by the realization that I actually did like Harvard better.

There are numerous reasons, and if you care that much you can ask, but all that matters is that I know the reasons I'm going there.

Flame on, xoxo lurkers, flame on.

Thanks everyone, even the xoxoers, for your opinions and advice.

P.S. I did actually make my mom flip a coin for me.

You don't even need a reason man. If it feels right, it is right. Congratulations on your decision

[Aaron42]

P.S.  What was the result of the coin flip?

Harvard. But that was the day that I was really leaning towards Penn, go figure. 

After that day though, instead of wavering back and forth every other day I kept having pro-Harvard days. It was a sign.

congrats! i'm sorry to lose  you to harvard, but hey if you like it better, go for it. and honestly, penn ain't no harvard. simple as that, it's a great, incredible law school, but....not a harvard.

Congrats on your decision!  I was one of the ones who said go to Penn, but that was contingent on your not liking Harvard too much.  I stand corrected and I'm sure you'll love it there!
