Re: UGA 1L Taking Questions
I hope there's still someone here who can answer my question, because I'll have a big decision to make in May. I am from Arizona, and have lived here all my life. I love it here, but I want to experience something new. I've only heard positive things about UGA, Athens, and the Atlanta area from the people who have actually lived there, and I plan to visit in February to see for myself. I will be taking a year off from school to focus on my applications and gaining more life experience before law school. My question is, would it be likely to get in-state tuition in my first year if I'm accepted to UGA, assuming I move there June-July 2013 in preparation to attend the school in August 2014? Is 12-14 months usually enough for someone to be considered an in-state student in Georgia if I obtain a part-time job, license, voter registration, and things like that in that time? I've read up on it a bit, but I was hoping to find someone who went through the process.

Re: UGA 1L Taking Questions
Thank you. Now I need to find work. Are there many gyms in the Athens area that you've seen? I have a personal training certification until the end of 2014 that gives me some options for that year.

Re: UGA 1L Taking Questions
Is law review strictly write on or a combination with grades? What is the competition like? i.e. how many competing for how many spots?

Re: UGA 1L Taking Questions
Law review accepts applicants based on a combination of grades and a writeon. The writeon consists of a citechecking exercise and a mini-note.

I got a small scholarship as an in-state guy. Because it's so cheap already, however, I think they save most of the money for out of state people.kwwill3 wrote:Does UGA offer scholarships to instate folks? The vast majority of what I have seen online was offering in state to oos people.
As to the employment question above - my 2L friends say that pretty much all of the top 10% got 2L SA's. That doesn't mean that those lower didn't, it just means that I don't know.
I'll let you know about 1L hiring when I get a job.

I'm looking for someone who is going through the JD/MPA program, or is at least familiar with it.

Re: UGA 1L Taking Questions
Is there a UGA 1L or 2L, hell, any L on the board, available to answer questions?
