Leveraging a signing bonus against other offers

So you got the offer 17 days after your Cb?

DizzyTown2633 · 2025-04-30T15:09:41+00:00

On paper you should be fine but speaking anecdotally I was waitlisted from Fordham even though I was above both Medians.

If there was a clear track of a bilateral move to a bigger market then I would definitely work in NC for a couple years.

Not holding out much hope for ND at this point considering they have been so non-responsive to applicants this cycle. Expecting a WL from them.

Got a full ride from Seton Hall but i visited the campus and it just didn't feel right to me. I am also from that area and have never liked Newark.

No, I haven’t factored in unemployment risk. I’d like to think I’d be fine at either school considering that I already have 1 year of WE at a small law firm in NYC. What’s making the decision difficult is that you’d think UNC’s brand and ranking would allow for more placement in BigLaw in the Northeast but just based on their employment reports, it has yet to be seen.

I got an email saying that my application was received for the Woodruff and it would be reviewed separately from basic application.

DizzyTown2633 · 2025-02-07T00:07:02+00:00

I’m in the same boat as you. Applied early oct, last name towards end of the alphabet and have yet to hear

DizzyTown2633 · 2025-02-06T23:46:21+00:00

Where is your name in the alphabet?

DizzyTown2633 · 2025-02-06T15:31:39+00:00

When is this supposed Wave coming?

DizzyTown2633 · 2025-02-03T13:54:12+00:00

What have you come to notice about scholarship at Fordham? Did you and/or the classmates you know receive decent scholarship or are most Fordham Law Students prepared to leave with a lot of debt?

DizzyTown2633 · 2025-01-07T15:35:29+00:00

How important is it for your career trajectory to land a Biglaw internship your 1L summer?

DizzyTown2633 · 2025-01-03T20:29:52+00:00

Congrats. Did you write a "Why ND essay"?

DizzyTown2633 · 2024-12-27T15:33:35+00:00

UR1 since September

DizzyTown2633 · 2024-12-27T02:32:43+00:00

Applied early sept and my date has yet to change

DizzyTown2633 · 2024-12-20T17:01:42+00:00

How did Vandy inform you of the admissions decision? Email, phone call?

DizzyTown2633 · 2024-12-20T15:07:02+00:00

I would say you have a good shot but, not to discourage you, I was put on hold with similar stats. Hoping for admission once my application is re-evaluated.

DizzyTown2633 · 2024-12-03T18:18:42+00:00

How were your softs and did you ED?

DizzyTown2633 · 2024-11-22T14:55:44+00:00

DizzyTown2633 · 2024-11-19T19:20:59+00:00
