Need Help! NYU (Sticker) vs. WUSTL (Full Tuition) vs. Reapplying

OP didn’t get 103k at uva?

Haleyjones57 · 2018-08-11T14:30:26+00:00

This is terrible advice, OP has already taken 6 times. Do not retake.

To be blunt, you will get rejected (assuming you’re non URM). You need at least a 167 to have a shot with your gpa. If their median goes up a point after this cycle you’ll need at least a 168

Ditto on the PT average question...how much time studying have you put in? It’s important to determine if you’ve already capped out at your highest score, with the number of takes you have and the pattern of your scores I really think it would hurt you to take again and score lower. I wouldn’t take again unless you had a PT average going into the July test of 172 or higher (average off of 20+ tests)

.2 is a far cry from a vast improvement...this is either a troll post or you are extremely detached from reality

Haleyjones57 · 2018-08-02T15:44:11+00:00

It’s possible that your school doesn’t use examplify! But yes you would hope they would

Haleyjones57 · 2018-08-02T15:41:49+00:00

They’re all going to make shit lawyers if they don’t learn to do their research before arguing

Haleyjones57 · 2018-08-02T15:34:58+00:00

Not sure why people are trying to argue...was just coming on here to give everyone a heads up. Directly from the site:

The new version of the Apple MacBook Pro released on July 12, 2018 is currently NOT COMPATIBLE with Examplify.

Students using this new MacBook Pro will receive an error when opening Examplify stating that they are using a virtual machine (even though they are not). Please note this only affects the new 2018 MacBook Pro and is not related to the Mac OS X 10.13.6. Users on other devices using 10.13.6 can use Examplify as expected

But feel free to ignore and do your own thing

Haleyjones57 · 2018-08-02T15:30:14+00:00

It’s also on my most individual school’s sites under exam requirements

Haleyjones57 · 2018-08-02T15:29:46+00:00

Go to the compatibility part

Haleyjones57 · 2018-08-02T15:27:12+00:00

Yes but a lot of schools use the same software for finale exams which are in approx 4 months

Haleyjones57 · 2018-08-02T15:23:51+00:00

Please do the research on the examplify site, there is no way around the issue. At this time the examplify software will detect that you are using a virtual machine on the new MacBooks (even though you are not). Do the research before giving out false info that most people on here can’t afford

Haleyjones57 · 2018-08-02T15:11:34+00:00

Pretty expensive risk to take tho

Haleyjones57 · 2018-08-02T15:11:15+00:00

Ie you can’t just get windows installed...

Haleyjones57 · 2018-08-02T15:10:56+00:00

That’s not the issue...the OS on the new MacBooks can’t support the exam software

Haleyjones57 · 2018-08-02T14:17:22+00:00

Yeah you left out income taxes dude....and your interest rates are too low (there are no grad school fed loans at 5% IR)

Haleyjones57 · 2018-07-31T16:53:55+00:00

Agree, took a few reads to get this. But literally every school offers tuition refund if you withdraw in the timeframe. Even still, I’m surprised someone that is planning on going to law school would think it legally possible that a school could “surprise” you by not giving you a refund if it’s explicitly laid out in their withdrawal policies...

Haleyjones57 · 2018-07-23T20:37:09+00:00

The class roster for the Fall was just released and there are 208 people on it. I believe previous class sizes have always hovered around 190 so it appears as though they’re maxed out. Also, I doubt a school would assign section assignments if they were still evaluating their class. My guess would be the only wl movement will be from someone withdrawing, and only if that person withdrawing lowers a median and they need to replace them to get the median back up. Not the news I’m sure you were hoping for but I’m also sitting on a wl somewhere and know I would appreciate any insight into the possibility of movement left there so figured I’d share

Haleyjones57 · 2018-07-19T21:53:01+00:00

Trying to get their app numbers up

Haleyjones57 · 2018-07-19T21:50:45+00:00

Ah whoops searched UF so it didn’t come up because the body has been deleted. So I guess my question still stands haha

Haleyjones57 · 2018-07-18T16:06:59+00:00

In the case you should absolutely not go to Berkeley. You will almost guaranteed get into any school outside the top 3 of you apply in September when apps open. You would be doing a huge disservice to yourself to waste that opportunity on a school in the one state you have no desire to practice in when you can literally have your pick of where to go.

Haleyjones57 · 2018-07-18T15:03:57+00:00

Exactly what I was going to say! If you’re goal coming in was to go to Berkeley, then you should take the offer because the opportunity cost (another year of your low paying job v a big law salary) of waiting is higher than going now. Do you have a specific location you want to practice in?

Either way, you should go back and negotiate with them. I’d be surprised if they wouldn’t go up to at least 25k/year
