It isn't that friendly to me, either.

Taz has 401 votes, somehow.

Thanks to somebody with moderating powers over this forum.

Thanks to the revenue New Mexico gets from indian gambling and the lottery, every citizen gets a full tuition scholarship to an in-state school of their choosing so long as they maintain a 2.5 GPA. You could be a pretty mediocre student and still only have to buck up for various student fees and surcharges (around $700/yr). While I do happen to be a very good student with a near perfect GPA, just about everyone gets the same deal I do.

I never said that I wasn't going to, but that doesn't mean that financial reasons aren't a significant factor in making a choice. Between Yale Law and BYU Law I'd probably go with Yale for the more prestigious education, but between, say, Vanderbilt and BYU, while Vandy is generally held as a better school, BYU is pretty good as well and money ($33K compared to $11K, using last year's figures) may well play a part in which I were to choose. Incidentally, I plan on applying to all three of the above mentioned schools.

It's certainly a cold, hard system when it comes to federal need-based aid, there isn't much arguing with the FAFSA formula for defining "need." I could certainly get some variety of financial aid (and almost certainly will), but need-based aid is a different animal altogether.

First off, good luck with your application(s). Secondly, it's always best to prepare for the worst-case scenario and that I will be that poor idiot who does end up paying full price for his trip to law school. It'll be great if I do get a pile of scholarships, grants, and interest-free loans, but I'm certainly not going to count on it.

Also, I might add (I don't know if you filled out the FAFSA) that for people with large land, stock, etc...holdings (not to mention debt) filling out the FAFSA can be a real work out...not to mention extremely intrusive. This can be a problem for some people as many people do not like everyone and their dog looking at your finacial history.

Nice going Pufer on the grades. Keep it up and who knows where you'll end up (Senator Pufer)!

Here at Yale we have a saying. "Harvard sucks, Princeton doesn't matter". I'm sorry that UPenn didn't even make it into the saw, but hey, nobody here gives a damn about football anyway. Or basketball. Or any sport, come to think about it...

Well, some of you guys are into debate. But considering that a sport should be a felony.

I'd like to congratulate the Broncos for beating the Eagles 49-21 during our dota game yesterday.

Here at DIT we have a saying: "80% of us wanted to go to Trinity, but ###### it, lets have a laugh!".

Deja vu?

Trinity? Trinity are a bunch of pricks. Sophomore year a bunch of Trinity guys ran through our dorms spraying fire extinguishers under people's doors. Two of my friend's computers were ruined.

You sound a bit miffed, why don't you sit back and enjoy a refreshing drink?

Some fish and chips couldn't hurt either.

I don't think he's going to be led to that one quite so easily.

You're just jealous Ben Franklin didn't found your school and that you mascot isn't as cool as the fighting quaker

Didn't Yale invent football? I'd think there'd be some caring....

Avatara, on Oct 31 2005, 07:57 PM, said:

That game has already been erased from my memory, save the third quarter. This season has been extraordinarily painful for Eagles' fans...

Don't get on the wrong end of MIT. You might get your dorm room stolen.

Bah. We at Yale know how to play a prank. And while yes, we did invent football, we also invented the football tailgate, and I'm afraid that me and all the people I know are far more interested in the latter.

Would you believe that this year they want to try and stop us from playing drinking games at The Game? Sacrilege!

I think Penns. name sake is way cooler then their founder. William Penn was the bomb.

My school invented irony. So you can all go kill yourselves.

You play football, we go Paintballing.
Who needs pranks anyway?

Yeah... coming from Philadelphia, I must say, I'm glad I'm not a hard core fan.
