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

tripphs7

21:25

I mean at UGA

TruthTheX

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”

TruthTheX

21:27

It was mostly safeties in the cities I would have liked to be in and Ohio just cuz I live here

tripphs7

21:27

For me personally that's just not worth 100k+ in costs

tripphs7

21:28

and if you think it is, that just doesnt make sense to me unless youre rich

TruthTheX

21:28

That’s fair I luckily have no ugrad debt so I’m more willing to take on a bit for law school

tripphs7

21:28

a bit more.....

tripphs7

21:28

I said 100k+

TruthTheX

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

TruthTheX

21:29

(That was the other reason I looked at these cities I have family in all of them)

tripphs7

21:29

youre gonna live with your aunt?

TruthTheX

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

tripphs7

21:30

yeah idk doesnt make sense to me. I got the 120k from GW too

tripphs7

21:30

and I thought it would be crazy to take that

tripphs7

21:30

it's just way to expensive for the outcomes

tripphs7

21:31

Im actually a bit offended on your behalf that you didnt get more

TruthTheX

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

tripphs7

21:32

like I have worse GPA and LSAT and got the same offer

TruthTheX

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

tripphs7

21:32

i dont think the concern is that youre going to stay unemployed....

tripphs7

21:34

I think a good student at UGA will have close to the same opportunities as most GW students provided they network etc

tripphs7

21:34

and will have paid SIGNIFICANTLY less to go

tripphs7

21:35

I mean in DC

TruthTheX

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

TruthTheX

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

tripphs7

21:36

sure. I think UGA has a semester in DC thing

TruthTheX

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.

tripphs7

21:42

sure yeah, itll work out
