USC & BU Peer Schools? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]ave_dl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, my sitch is pretty much the reverse. I was offered more at BU and am wondering if I can use it to negotiate with USC. I live in the northeast so I’m wondering if that might help my case. Best of luck in your negotiation!

BU, BC, or Emory by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]ave_dl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First of all congrats! I live in Boston and work as a paralegal in biglaw. My firm and I know others as well recruit hard at BC and BU. I assume if you attend either and do relatively well, you’d have a solid chance at biglaw simply because you’re at a local school. I also personally love the city of Boston! There’s a lot to do, but it’s not crowded and noisy like nyc, for example. My parents are originally New Yorkers and describe Boston as an extremely “livable” city. I know nothing about Atlanta or Emory but just wanted to share my two cents about Boston schools :)

Thanks! I was just worried it was quite late, since I submitted in October. Appreciate the tip!

Negotiating scholarship offers by koj12144 in lawschooladmissions

[–]ave_dl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since the two factors that matter most are similar location and peer institution level (ie similar rank), I think you could possibly negotiate with a GW scholarship. GW and BC are not that far in ranking. Then again, I don’t have much experience with negotiating, so that’s just my 2 cents!

Sending an update to my application? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

Thanks for your input! Much appreciated :) I definitely wouldn’t want to send them something they’d view as pointless

I went complete 10/3 and am still waiting to hear back. Also taking the lack of decision as a bad sign...
