[quote=Anonymous]I turned down Yale to get a full ride to NYU.  I have come across a few Yale lawyers who took out loans.  I think overall I had to work a little harder for my reputation but ended up in the same place career wise as others with degrees from Harvard and Yale (I also got into Harvard but they wanted my parents to take out a mortgage on their house to pay and that wasn’t going to happen).  In some instances, I think my reputation was better than a Yale colleagues among people we both worked with but I definitely saw doors open more easily with the Yale law degree when amongst those who did not have direct knowledge of our work.  I have a had a lot more career flexibility not having loans and will retire early to focus on interests outside the law.  I have wondered if it would have been worth it to pay for my kids to be legacies, but that may be all gone soon enough.  I will add that working in human rights is an extremely hard career path.  If you know what that looks like for you more specifically and have some background already, then Yale may be the better fit.  But then inquire as to how those loans get paid back.[/quote]
