tbh I think the $$$$+ you would have gotten would be worth it over your current GW offer too

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
