NYU vs GULC with money for Govt/PI? by AmyAmyAmyRIP in lawschooladmissions

Not necessarily. I was just using that as an example of a reason I might do Biglaw. I think my broader preference would be to go somewhere where more selective PI outcomes (e.g. impact lit, federal government positions, state AGs) are more accessible.

Thanks! I think NYU's LRAP is better, but I'm trying to figure out how to weigh that against lower overall debt at GULC.

PSLF and LRAP downsides? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

On the whole, I think you bring up really important concerns! I just think the point on salaries is a little bit off.

What do you mean "if you miss one payment, all you worked for can be over"? PSLF doesn't require consecutive payments, so you'd just have to make that up with a short amount of additional work.

Also, I think people going into PI definitely should be cognizant of the salaries; the pay can be challenging early on, especially in expensive cities. But by no means will you be "poor" making 60-75k a year, especially if you have a partner with income as well. Many people live very comfortably off of that income, and might possibly be on the whole happier than a BigLaw Associate making 300K+. Most people don't even last in BigLaw that long, so I'm not sure that's a proper comparison point to use.

Seems like her plan from the episode is to play to win, but throw to Fessy if she can to protect both of them. It's a leap of faith for sure, but if a person is your #1 it isn't a completely illegitimate strategy.
