So where does it look like everyone will be come August? Granted there is still some time before things become totally official but most of us should have a decent idea by now. So far it is looking like Notre Dame for me, though it's not official yet
Received 24k per year from SMU and made my decision in a heart beat. Spending $549 for the LSAT ultimate is one of the best decisions I've ever made. It literally saved me $72,000. Talk about a solid return on investment!!! This place is special. Congrats to everyone else! Glad to see some 7sagers crack the t14.
I'm staying in state (Florida State University) but am looking into the possibility of transferring. Does anyone know if top 20 schools would take my scores from the June administration into consideration, even though I wouldn't have applied with them this cycle?
(Taking the test again to get more $$$ from my school)
Such a happy thread! I love that this is a place where we celebrate each other's hard work and accomplishments. I decided on Harvard. Feel like I'm in a dream right now - as a west coaster my whole life, Harvard didn't even seem like a real place where real people go, but I'm so excited for the possibilities there and have been connecting with other public interest students who are really satisfied with the support offered. No grades is another upside, and I will take an annoying selfie with a SCOTUS member in the background the first time I see someone who fits that description.
@allison.gill.sanford in all seriousness I live in Boston and work in Harvard Square. I'm actually looking at HLS out the window as we speak. Lmk if you need any help settling in or advice on anything around here. I'm from Louisiana, but I've lived here about 2 years.
Also - conratufreakinlations and I hope to join you in a year!!
Congratulations on Harvard! I live in the Boston suburbs, feel free to ask any questions you might have about the area. It's definitely different from the west coast :-)
Does anyone have any comments on practicing law in New Mexico versus Indiana? I live in Indiana but considering going to a warmer climate. Not set on any state well minus the fact that I have roots as a Hoosier. Any thoughts would be helpful!
I hope this isn't based on BCS or Breaking Bad ...
The thing that boggles my mind about Better Call Saul is that he gets hired as the equivalent of a 4th year associate in a NM law firm, but gets a company car, personal assistant, spacious personal office, and his own fancy desk! In a story about meth and cartels and shady legal practices and whatnot, I find this to be the most unbelievable aspect!
Thanks everyone! @BruiserWoods let me know when you're applying!! You just gotta go kill the June administration, which you will!! @"Jonathan Wang" yeah feel free to connect me to your students! I will definitely need new friends... @runiggyrun thanks for the offer, I'm asking around about housing in particular so PM me if you have input about how to be close to campus but not pay astronomical rent...
I know there’s a cool little tea house, but that’s all I’ve got for you @allison.gill.sanford . I’m going to be in Boston late June/early July and am looking forward to poking around!
"Astronomical rent" is definitely a relative term. I used to live in La Jolla, CA, so I thought Cambridge area rents were actually very reasonable, especially if you're willing to be a bus/subway ride away from Harvard Sq. They would still count as "astronomical" by most normal standards though....
Yeah, housing down south is incredible. My house in south MS was 800/month for three bedrooms, in a highly desirable historic neighborhood. I don't know where I’m going yet, but wherever it is, I get the feeling rent is going to really suck!
Paying $700 per month for a 1 bedroom apartment in Dallas. Safe neighborhood, no bugs (albeit older building), but still. Will split rent with my gf 50-50 while in school to boot. Can't beat the cost of living down south.

Key factor here is splitting the rent 50/50 Ain't nobody got that kind of cheap rent solo in Big D unless you're on the wrong side of Ross Ave!
