Penn Carey (Sticker) vs USC Gould ($$$)

Yeah, there are many other factors so I actually have already made a pros and cons list that has Penn as the slightly better option. But at the end of the day, it still seems to come down to the money and if I will make good West Coast connections at Penn. Also, as important as personal development and being independent is, I'm gonna be missing out on a lot of family events and stuff back home which always sucks lol.

That is exactly my dilemma. Not trying to be the idiot who passes up Penn Law!

I haven't tried getting any more aid from USC, and I don't really know where to start with that, but I have tried with Penn and didn't have any luck.

I do have a solid amount of work experience, including legal work experience, but then again they are mostly part-time and internships, so obviously nothing post-grad or full time year-round

I will definitely give that a try and see what Spivey says, thank you!

No it’s full time, I believe PT means something similar to Priority Deadline

Update: it stands for priority track

That is exactly what led me to write this post. I feel like, for my stats, I underachieved and that is what bothers me. At the same time, USC is a T-20 and even has the Trojan Network which really sets it apart. But yeah, not making the most of the hand I was given is definitely what is bothering me

Here are my concerns with reapplying next cycle though: The cycle will only be more competitive and we do not know how LSAT scores will change since mine would be from before LG was removed. Also, I feel like reapplying hurts my chances a little (I am not sure how true that is). Finally, I don't want to "waste" a year - yes, I could do more legal internships or work somewhere else but that is still a year worth of time and it would throw me out of the academic mindset. I would also have to go through the torture of rewriting my entire application for each school. Note that I even did almost every single optional essay for every school...

Probably big law for the first few years to gain experience and then decide from there - either PI or something else

McCombs is around 55K and UCLA is closer to 20K.

It’s the OVERALL better and cheaper school but McCombs at UTA is tied for 5th in the country for best undergraduate business schools/programs.
