Mysonx3's Law School Thread

Amazing, I love this.

>"even if a little bummed out at some of the other decisions"

I get that rejection hurts, but you're literally an Ivy League 1L student now. you're on top of the world.

• With equivalent scholarship offers, the lower cost of living worked out to make Cornell about $10-15k cheaper.
  
• I intend to go into a public interest career (as opposed to a well-paying job at a firm or the like). Both schools have programs to help graduates who choose such careers pay back their loans. However, Cornell's program is quite a bit better and more flexible.
  

• Cornell has a fantastic Death Penalty clinic (which is the type of work I want to do)
  

Wonderful! Congrats.

Local Community College: 35 quarter credits (translates to 23.45 semester credits)
Arizona State University (via Earned Admission): 15 semester credits
Brigham Young University (via Independent Study): 8 semester credits
Thomas Edison State University (combo of online and guided study): 15 semester credits

I'm too superstitious to post my GPA until it's done & sealed, but I will come back and update it once my final classes have been graded.

*Note: I'm not saying this because not having a reportable GPA will necessarily sabotage your application - even the tippy-top schools accept a decent chunk of applicants without a GPA if they score high enough on the LSAT. Rather, if I didn't have a GPA I would've been missing out on an opportunity to strengthen my application.

I see you only had 15 credits from TESU. When did you take the other credits? Was it concurrently because you realized you needed 60 graded credits? What made you decide on ASU and BYG and the local community college. Just trying to get an understanding of how you thought out the extra credits that you wouldn't have from TESU.
(congrats on your accomplishment!!! truly truly impressive.)
