Y'failed huh? You sound distraught. SO??

Fo' real, dawg? Dat be da shiznit, y'all! Mad props, dawg, mad props! *raise da roooof*

---

No kidding! How come A+ and A are both 4.0?? What's the point in making any distinction then?

---

You are! But it's just the principle of having different letter grades and %ages but having the same GPA recognition. How stupid! Wait, why are we discussing GPAs on here, and threadjacking on the GPA thread? Hahaha!

---

Are you on the west coast as well? I thought you were based in NYC for some reason.

---

Are you gunning for NYU? Do you know if I go to grad school in the States, will I still need to write the SAT first?

---

See, the name Northwestern, in Chicago never made sense. Shouldn't Northwestern be in Washington? Or Oregon or something?

Anyway, I would apply for the top ones - NYU, Harvard, Yale, maybe UCLA so I can be in sunny Cali (even though you wanna get outta there!)...I've heard good things about Brooklyn College, I think it is? The funny thing about the Ivy Leagues (like Harvard or Yale) is that the GPA and LSAT requirements are minimally higher than UBC. I think I need a 169 LSAT score and like a 3.7-.8 CGPA or something, both which are in the realm of possibility for me. So really, the only real challenge in going to those schools would be paying for them! *sigh*

I'm keen on NYU though - I was hoping to go to U of Toronto or NYU for my undergrad, but esp. NYU is SO expensive for international students! I would be paying in the 6-digits! (If I'm not mistaken, that's annually!)

---

I just went on the NYU website to see how much it would've cost me as an undergrad. Does this makes sense to you?

College of Arts and Science

Full time students, tuition, 12 to 18 points flat rate, per term $ 14,164.00
Nonreturnable registration and services fee for flat rate $ 883.00
College of Arts Science Academic Support Fee $ 25.00
Additional tuition, 19 or more points per term, per point (includes a nonreturnable registration and services fee of $52.00) $ 887.00

Tuition, per point $ 835.00
Nonreturnable registration and services fee,
first point Fall Term 2004 $ 262.00
first point Spring Term 2005 $ 275.00
Nonreturnable registration and services fee, per point, for registration after first point $

---

See, that's what I thought it said too - and that doesn't seem so bad. Not quite affordable, but not heinous like Harvard or Yale. But then it says there's a $14000 flat rate, PLUS $835/point. (I assume this is a credit point.)

The US is 30 credits/yr right? 2 semesters of 15 credits?

---

Nope, that's the 887/point on top of that one on the list. Ah well, doesn't matter. I won't be doing an undergrad. I'd be doing the JD, which is actually not too bad!

How much would school cost for you though as a Masters student?

School of Law ( J.D. Program)

Tuition, full time, per term (12-18 credit hours) $ 17,855.00
Fall Term 2004 nonreturnable registration and services fee $ 433.00
Spring Term 2005 nonreturnable registration and services fee $ 445.00

Tuition per point $ 1,488.00
Nonreturnable registration and services fee,
first point Fall Term 2004 $ 158.00
first point Spring Term 2005 $ 170.00
Nonreturnable registration and services fee, per point, for registration after first point $ 25.00

Alright, get some rest! G'night!


And sorry to everyone who's waded through this nerdy threadjack! Don't judge us!

---

Ok, I just wanted to let everyone know I'm here. I'm alive and now have internet. I wound up having to switch rooms, the whoel thing was quite the adventure that I will fill you in on later. Now I'm super late I already wanted to be in the rush line so talk to you all later!
