[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks- we aren't living elsewhere. We both have good jobs here and have family back home. To move elsewhere is counter productive in the long run. If he for sure wanted big law, then yes - trying for a top there would be the best way forward. But he already has a good paying job here (as do I) which, without getting in to Penn, seems stupid to give up.

Sounds like GT is a better bet than GW - he is planning on speaking with them about money next week. And bringing his GW offer to negotiate, I believe [/quote]

Gtown won't match an offer from GW. They would match an offer from UVA, Duke, NYU, etc, but they don't match offers from schools ranked lower than GW. Andy cornblatt will just tell him to go to GW.[/quote]
This is correct. I suppose there is no harm in asking, but GT won't give more $$ based on a GW offer.

OP, one other possibility is for your husband to transfer after his first year, if he really does well. Many people don't know that transfer admissions are much easier than 1L admissions. [/quote]

Except to transfer you absolutely have to be in the top ten percent of your class - at the minimum. That's a lot of pressure and can be tough to do as it's hard to predict where you'll end up.[/quote]
