<p>The one nice thing about Penn was, they offered to give him 5k for the summer each year if he cannot find a paid position…which will allow him to work somewhere for free if needed…Georgetown’s summer offer was $3k under the same circumstances…not sure about the others…
I am not sure what my son’s percentile was…he got accepted by 6 immediately and wait listed for Columbia and Stanford …rejected by Harvard and Cal…
I personally was actually totally surprised about the 3 year Duke offer…did not think that any top law school would throw money at anybody given the number of applicants dying to get in…so I believe that none of the top schools will throw merit money at you…needs based money may be a different story, but we are part of the typical middle class not qualifying for that.</p>
