My junior year, I was looking at Harvard, NYU, UVA, Tulane. LSU was the same thing as clown college in my book.
Beginning of senior year my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and I just couldn't see being far from home. Tulane was always my dream school anyway. So I applied to Tulane, LSU, Loyola, and my counselor had me apply to UVA at the last minute with an application for the Jefferson Scholar's program. I made it to the second round of the scholarship program, but didn't get in UVA (probably because my app was sent ON the deadline date)
I hated Tulane, so I transferred to LSU. I figured "its free, if it sucks, I'm getting what I'm paying for." It did suck, my degree is pretty much worthless because of all the morons that went into my major, but it was free. And I had a lot of fun
For law schoo, it was a MAJOR mistake to attend LSU, even though they gave me a full scholarship. Its too much stress, too many mind games, for a 3rd tier education. I should have just paid a bit more to go to Loyola and save myself the headache.
