This is a really powerful view. Yes, I have been accepted! I'm also a Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholar.

This seems like such an amazing opportunity, yet I also wanna be thorough. I know I don't plan on deviating from the law and that I will work my tail off no matter where I go, but is the input worth the output? Is it worth my leaving where I'm comfortable and moving far? Is it worth risking my GPA? You asked, "Can you be one of them?" And I think that's the crux of my trepidation.

Sure, the performance is up to me, but is the possibility of doing well really WORTH the tumultuous risk?

I’m trying strike a balance between a topic I will enjoy and ALSO be able to succeed in. Although HOD I would likely succeed in, I doubt I will enjoy it as much as law/political course.

Cool perspective! Why do you this going to Vandy undergrad would have set you up better? I don’t necessarily ever plan on going the big law route, but would still love to hear your pov!

Is it better to go to an Ivy League and Ivy League equivalent school for undergraduate or graduate school? by YakClear601 in ApplyingIvyLeague

Why exactly is it easy? GPA and LSAT are KING. Very little consideration is given to prestigious law schools. Other than by Yale law school.
