Mom and Law Student?

It is time to move on from the LSAT. I have had a few days now to process my results and I have decided it is time for school. The LSAT is not an end, only a means to an end. I was going to retake in Dec. thinking that 3rd time may be the charm but I talked to my admissions consultant who thinks it might not help and could hurt (it wasn't as bad as June's disaster but not as good as I was practicing at). Right now I am tweaking my PS for (hopefully) the last time and then I can start hitting send on my electronic apps. , then the real waiting starts.

I have decided to focus on $$ and who will most likely offer me the most $$. If it was a choice today of a school in the top 100 (excluding the top 20) at full tuition and a 3-4th tier with a full scholarship,, the scholarship would win. My husband and I already have loans from undergrad and I don't want anymore. We have a mortgage and private school tuition for monkey I don't need anymore financial burdens. I decided I don't just want tuition, but I want books and a barbri course,, I am in the mood for some deal making...

I have a friend in law school once she had a full scholarship offer she called all the other schools that she was interested in and asked them to match the offer. Granted she had a 170 and is one of the smartest people I have ever known,, but still, it can't hurt to ask. okay I am off to finish my PS and my addendum.
