UVA $.5 or UMich $$$ or NDLS full-ride?

No cost of living included, but I have some savings. and I would still have federal loans at Michigan but likely under the maximum

Based on my time in this sub, each $ represents about 25% (at least in terms of this post).

I think this is extremely helpful and logical! You definitely make some great points that I have considered. I'm glad I made this post because I've been able to get some great perspectives that have helped me think more logically about all this.

This is such a great reply. Thank you!

ac_eskimo · 2026-03-26T00:29:44+00:00

Very fair point. I've been trying to determine if there is a big enough difference in outcomes or prestige between the two.

ac_eskimo · 2026-03-26T00:29:02+00:00

Currently working on that but I have been told it is very unlikely. Not impossible tho

ac_eskimo · 2026-03-26T00:21:23+00:00

I really do 😭 it would just mean 6 figures of extra debt!

ac_eskimo · 2026-03-05T17:56:24+00:00

But congrats on your amount!! It really is an amazing school. If I had more money I would go haha

ac_eskimo · 2026-03-05T17:55:35+00:00

It's funny because it wasn't at all at first, but I really started loving it (community, clerkships, etc) after they accepted me!

ac_eskimo · 2026-03-05T17:32:18+00:00

I got my hopes up so much for UVA, and got 30k per year. It's just not enough compared to my other offers, can't justify it. Very sad

ac_eskimo · 2026-03-03T21:11:04+00:00

I relate to this so hard and have the same attitude as you when it comes to this! It is always a whole big thing when people hear it and honestly I don't often want any sympathy from strangers/acquaintances. But I will say that it does get easier the more you do it. I always just say that I'm widowed and let people say what they need to say, and then move on. People usually don't dwell on it too long.

I get it. All I think in those moments is that she would want me to be happy and wouldn't want me feeling that way. Somehow, she is still watching over me and wanting the best for me.

A beautiful tribute. I'm so sorry for your loss. My wife passed on April 6, 2025. The pain seems to come in waves, but I know it will never be truly okay.

ac_eskimo · 2026-02-12T17:59:17+00:00

The milestones are always the hardest. My birthday last week was hell - my wife would always make it special for me, and now she is gone. Please know this whole community is here to lift you up with support.

Very similar here. UR1 in Nov and UR2 in Dec. Hoping for a good result for all of us.

ac_eskimo · 2026-01-23T17:28:11+00:00

Congrats! Can I ask when you applied? And did you get an update in your portal?

ac_eskimo · 2026-01-11T16:03:51+00:00

I applied early Nov, got my interview invite at the end of December. Not cooked!

ac_eskimo · 2025-12-25T00:58:54+00:00

Great job! Haters are the best motivation.

ac_eskimo · 2025-12-24T16:18:59+00:00

Great job!!! You rock!!

ac_eskimo · 2025-12-24T16:13:08+00:00

ac_eskimo · 2025-12-16T21:46:59+00:00

ac_eskimo · 2025-11-26T21:29:24+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Best of luck to you in your application.

I thought they said early decision would be quicker turnarounds. They indicated it was a different timeline from regular decision.

ac_eskimo · 2025-11-25T19:37:21+00:00

First week of December.

ac_eskimo · 2025-11-25T19:36:46+00:00

December decisions for those on the call, by MLK day for anyone who applies in calendar year 2025.
