After being put on the waitlist at Duke and Virginia, and after attending "Accepted Students Day" at South Carolina, I've decided to commit to USC for the fall.
At ASD, I learned a good bit about the environmental law program and the dual degree program with Vermont. Apparently, I'll have to spend my first law school summer in Vermont for a seminar in order to earn the degree. This sounds exciting, but expensive. I'll have to converse with USC professor Josh Eagle about my options within environmental law. In addition to my JD and the master's from Vermont, I'll also have to earn something called a MERM (MURM?), which is intended to help me with getting scientific concepts under my belt for work within the environmental community. This will definitely extend my law school study to four years.
In a bit of good news, I was offered a partial scholarship to USC, which helps to mitigate my costs, but doesn't come close to finishing the job. Admittedly, I have not been fastidious with outside scholarship applications. Loans, here I come.
Just finished directing my last play as part of my school's drama department. Had a great time, and am ready to focus more on my future.
