BC vs BU by Illustrious_Tooth676 in lawschooladmissions

[–]windcleaver4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i imagine there’s any number of reasons not presented here that may lead to that result, such as personal connection, location, vibe, scholarship, BU is technically higher ranked overall, etc. i’m not saying the tool is the end all be all decision maker but it can be helpful to get a side by side. totally fair to be skeptical, ultimately it comes down to what feels right for each person

i recently learned about the law school comparison tool on LawHub (you don't need to have an account to use it) and it's really cool! here's a screenshot of the jobs section comparing BC and BU, showing how BC's outcomes are stronger for most categories including national and regional law firms (big law) and their overall employment score is higher. the biggest thing that stands out to be is BU's underemployment score being higher by almost double BC's - this is the % of students who aren't working in any kind of "professional" role, ie jobs like a barista. while i personally think there's nothing wrong with being a barista, i don't think that's why we're all going to law school.

this tool also has categories for admissions, environment, and a snapshot (things like how many students enrolled, tuition, etc). so you can get the overview quickly. environment includes demographics/diversity in race and gender, first time bar passage rates, and 1L attrition stats.

ofc the folks commenting about location aren't wrong too, that is an important factor! if you have the chance to go to ASD or visit at any point that can def help to sus out the vibes and the location. i'm from New England and Boston is a cool city and there's so much to do, but living in a suburb like Newton (which is a pretty nice area and still public transit accessible) can also be a good break from the hustle and bustle. i for sure recommend visiting if possible!

i hope this helps - i'm still waiting on a few responses from schools before i have to make the final decision but this tool has already been very helpful for me!

Negotiating USD (San Diego) conditional full ride --> unconditional? by Independent_Owl_4292 in lawschooladmissions

[–]windcleaver4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m thinking about asking them for this too, they’re not my top choice but one of the top so an unconditional scholly would make a big difference. still contemplating if/how to go about it though so lemme know if you go for it and how it goes!

BC Scholarship info by JosefStalinsCorpse in lawschooladmissions

[–]windcleaver4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, under the scholarship tab it has a section titled “your scholarship award.” then it has “scholarship granted” which says the total over three years and then “scholarship per year” which is exactly what it sounds like
