Tell us what's important to you

tbh I think the $$$$+ you would have gotten would be worth it over your current GW offer too
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
21:25
Don’t feel bad about not applying duke they take like less than 10 people who apply after thanksgiving
21:25
I mean at UGA
21:26
Outside of the T14 idk if I would have picked any schools over GW. Idk I really value the networking opportunities and the age old adage of “study where ya hope to practice”
21:27
It was mostly safeties in the cities I would have liked to be in and Ohio just cuz I live here
21:27
For me personally that's just not worth 100k+ in costs
21:28
and if you think it is, that just doesnt make sense to me unless youre rich
21:28
That’s fair I luckily have no ugrad debt so I’m more willing to take on a bit for law school
21:28
a bit more.....
21:28
I said 100k+
21:29
I mean I know nothing is guaranteed but considering the opportunities GW provides in D.C. I think it’s feasible plus, not to Dox myself, I have an aunt that lives there so that’s some costs knocked off already
21:29
(That was the other reason I looked at these cities I have family in all of them)
21:29
youre gonna live with your aunt?
21:30
Possibly. She’s been looking to move into a bigger place for awhile now so idk I’ve been looking at places with her
21:30
yeah idk doesnt make sense to me. I got the 120k from GW too
21:30
and I thought it would be crazy to take that
21:30
it's just way to expensive for the outcomes
21:31
Im actually a bit offended on your behalf that you didnt get more
21:31
Idk the gov con program is extremely good and pays well plus the professors I’ve talked to have a ton of connections and will basically find you a job as long as you’re putting in the work and everything
21:32
like I have worse GPA and LSAT and got the same offer
21:32
Tbh I applied really late and my work experience is shit. My hard sell was having two disabled parents (one of which is a ward of the state now) and then my scores
21:32
i dont think the concern is that youre going to stay unemployed....
21:34
I think a good student at UGA will have close to the same opportunities as most GW students provided they network etc
21:34
and will have paid SIGNIFICANTLY less to go
21:35
I mean in DC
21:35
idk it’s too late to change my results now so I try not to dwell on what ifs if ya know what I mean
21:35
I’m not familiar enough with UGA’s programs so I can’t speak to them but all in all I’m happy with my outcomes all things considered
21:36
sure. I think UGA has a semester in DC thing
21:36
Sure it’s not ideal, but for a barista from middle of nowhere Ohio that applied in February I don’t think I have the right to complain.
21:42
sure yeah, itll work out
