Does anyone know what tier Northeastern Law is? and if it has a good reputation? I'm hearing multiple opinions especially on the tiers.

Was curious as to Northeastern University D'amore-McKim School of Business presence on the Street. I am a high school senior, and I am considering majoring in Finance and Accounting at Northeastern, and was wondering whether it would be enough to land me an IB or ER gig out of college.

My short bio:

My name is Matt Cameron. I think about, write about, and practice immigration law nearly seven days a week. I have been a licensed attorney for twelve years as of September, and the managing partner of a three-attorney law office in the Boston area for the past seven years with a special focus on deportation defense and mitigating the immigration consequences of criminal convictions. I teach "Immigration and Urban America" at Northeastern University's School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs, am a member of the board of the Student Immigrant Movement, and regularly contribute background and commentary to local, state, national, and international media on American immigration matters.

I am here for you to AMA because there is probably no other major public policy issue in the U.S. with such a massive gap between the realities of the current policies and what Americans seem to believe the policies actually are. While the other big issues du jour like healthcare and climate change usually touch on things that we all have to live with, immigration is not an issue that most U.S. citizens ever have to personally confront in their own lives. (This, among many other things, might explain why we just elected a man who ran on the ugliest and most determinedly nativist platform in a century or more of American history while willfully failing to inform himself as to the system that we actually have.)

I thought an AMA might be one easy thing that I could do right now to do my part to fill the gap. For as long as I have been studying this issue, I have always seen people ask counterfactual questions like "why don't they just get in line?" or "why can't you fill out the forms like everyone else?" or "what part of legal immigration don't you understand?", and I thought this might be a good way to provide concise, factual answers to these counterfactual inquiries that could be useful to anyone who is genuinely trying to understand this stuff as well as to gain the benefit of the experience of discussing all of this with people beyond my immediate and extended social circles. (And to be clear: any and all of those three questions are absolutely welcome for further discussion, as are any others at all so long as they are made in good faith. Trolls will starve.)

I will keep my answers as objective and factually-grounded as possible, but full disclosure: I do have a strong pro-immigration (and pro-immigrant) bias, and am well past the point where I can

thoughts on nusl? i’m deciding my undergrad but trying to decide if it’s worth going to northeastern and paying the tuition to be apart of the plusjd program in 3 years and then going to law school there as well. any help is appreciated.

The law school's dean was fired yesterday without any notice or warning. It took the students, the faculty, and the dean himself by surprise. No one knows exactly why, and the dean apparently said in an email that he was "mistreated" and that his termination was "baseless." Faculty have sent out a public letter calling for an immediate meeting with the University's president. SBA did something similar.

A lot of tea getting spilled here in South Florida. Theories abound: some people think it was an unhappy group of donors who disliked his identity as an openly gay Latino man (if so... uh, yikes), some think it was a failure to fundraise (but to fire him for that in a pandemic?), some think he stepped on the wrong person's toes (but who?).

Thoughts? Hot takes? Similar stories of administrative backstabbing at your school?

I'm a junior at the moment, so some of the stuff and activities I list I've either done or am planning to accomplish. I'm planning to study computer engineering at either school or computer science (engineering sounds more appealing to me, though)

Scores *SAT : 1310 (which I'm planning to raise to at least a 1410) *Unweighted GPA : 3.92
*Weighted GPA : 4.9

Planning to take a total of 11 APs up to the end of senior year

• AP Human Geography (5)
• AP World History (3)
• AP Drawing (2)
• AP US History (current)
• AP Statistics (current)

I don't have much of the big awards aside from perfect attendance and A-honor roll as well as teacher awards. I also hold a certificate in Microsoft Office from the info tech course I took, but of course that's not of any relevance. However, I'm completing a course in introductory electrical engineering from TokyoTechX and planning to get the certificate at edX as I'm passionate in Japanese language and culture and computers in general. The same goes for Harvard's Intro to Computer Science course. And lastly, I'm doing a research project for college credit in my 10 day trip to Japan this upcoming June. I can't join much clubs or compete in competitions much to show my passion for computer engineering, but I try my best, and am also working on a few coding projects and apps as well once I learn how to manage time..

Extracurriculars

• Math tutor for a few months in freshman year *Active in the art club for 2 years, one of my most fond experiences. I stopped going due to personal circumstances *At the moment I'm active in the chess club. We're planning to go to competitions soon. *I've been taking piano lessons for 2 years *This summer I'm planning to get a part time job at the local bakery

Can't count how many hours that was. *I volunteered at a children's vocational bible school in the summer for a week, it's one of the best experiences yet as I grew to realize I really like kids and taking care of them. I believe that was 25 hours. *I sometimes on the weekend work at

I’ve been looking into non-art schools for animation because I’m not so sure how I feel about attending an art school. I was a bit curious as to top schools that have animation programs fare. Does anyone know if these schools have good programs? Or know anyone that has attended these schools for animation and how they liked it?

Introduction

What role should LRAP benefits play in your matriculation decisions? I can’t really answer that question. It’s one that depends on many factors, including your expected level of indebtedness, the level of institutional support, your career goals, and any number of other factors.

One rule of thumb is to favor flexibility over all else. Take, for example, Yale's COAP. They do not place any restriction on your career choice. It doesn’t even need to be law related, and you still receive full benefits. It is obviously the best LRAP in the country.

All other schools require you to pursue PI/Gov work to be eligible for LRAP benefits. There are people who will say that planning to depend on LRAPs or PSLF and taking out huge debt on that assumption is a bad bet because no one can know where their career will take them.

I never say never. I believe there are people who are truly PI or bust (I’m one of them). But there’s a nugget of truth in that advice. You don’t know what your post-graduation future holds.

For these reviews, I try to include as many income medians and job arcs as possible. You still need to do your own future-proofing. Which income/LRAP/debt scenario is most likely for you? What scenario is best? Which scenario is possible but would clash with an LRAP policy?

In the end, planning on relying on an LRAP is a gamble. It can be a big bet, but only you know the odds and the size of the wager you are making. Huh, that sounded trite, but I’ve already written it so it’s staying in! On to Fordham!!

Assumptions

I do all of my calculations based on Accesslex’s cost of attendance, tuition, and PAYE/IBR calculations. If there are significant errors there, my analysis will be off.

Additionally, when doing repayment scenarios, I always assume the median PI starting salary of a school with a 5% increase annually.

I have cribbed the format of 7Sage’s LRAP website, but will add additional commentary and information when necessary. I am also going to put a (?) when information is vague/I’m too inexperienced to parse the language of the document.

I’m really not trying to push anyone any one way. I don’t have an agenda beyond trying to spread PI love and joy. This is just information, as factual as can be, to the best of my abilities.

If you know more than me about a particular program, please comment! Share your wealth of information for the incoming class.

Was looking up KZ site to peep at the docs again and found myself looking through the press links she has up as well, and came upon this article from last September that's super relevant and interesting to read at this point in time.

> "The Holy Grail is to find an alternative suspect," suggested Daniel Medwed, law professor at Northeastern University in Boston. "Developing the case of a plausible other suspect after the trial ... it's about showing new evidence that creates a probability of a different result. For every crime, there is a true perpetrator who is out there."

It goes into the alternate suspect angle and why she needs it and can succeed with it, with risk but large payoff.

> "The challenge for Zellner is not just to find all those holes in the case against Avery but ... it's all about an alternative narrative of the case.

> "The more you can show someone else did it, the greater the chances you have of prevailing," Medwed said.

1. I applied to Emory's Early Decision Program on 1/6/2021. I was accepted 1/22/21 via email.
2. 3.5 gpa and 156 lsat
3. No interview (however they did call me but idk if that counts as an interview)
4. I'm a double minority so that helped a lot. But my personal statement carried me the most I think. Over the phone they said that my statement was really good.
