hello everyone! i got admitted to berkeley law and received my reconsideration request back. they gave me $0 in aid. i have some good savings, but i was previously told that i could rely on parental aid. i was told tonight by said parents that i would not receive any support if i choose berkeley over another school that gave me a very substantial aid offer (a difference of $140,000 and is a t20). berkeley is my dream, i feel incredibly sad about the idea of not attending, and i want to do public interest law. should i risk it and go with berkeley or with a good school that has no public interest program? i cant reapply either. thanks!
