Goal: Chicago biglaw or midlaw somewhere in the midwest
About me: 168/3.75, coming straight out of UG, debt is a big factor in my decision, resident of central Illinois, want to go to LS in a city
My Options (I've taken BU out of the running)
Cornell
Pros- Probably the best school I will end up getting into, great reputation (even out here in the midwest), it will give me the best national placement upon graduation, gives me the opportunity to get out of Illinois, and I'm a prestige whore so the whole Ivy thing is appealing

Cons- Will have to pay sticker, it is at the bottom of the T14, it is really far from home
UIUC
Pros- Received a 30k/year scholly (in-state tuition is 33k), only 45 minutes from home, good reputation in the state and seems to be on the rise in US News rankings, lifelong fan of Illinois athletics program

Cons- I REALLY want to get out of central Illinois, stiff competition in the Chicago market, concerned about finding a job after graduation
WUSTL
Pros- City life, I love St. Louis, great regional reputation and a strong national placement, will probably get a scholarship in the 80-100k range (based on last year's applications on LSN), is within 2 hours from home
Cons- Will have more debt than I would from U of I, cost of living in St. Louis would be higher than Illinois and maybe Cornell (dunno for sure)
Basically, it looks like I am going to have the option of paying sticker at Cornell, having free tuition at UIUC, and paying somewhere in between at WUSTL. Would sticker at Cornell give me better enough job prospects to warrant passing on a practically full ride at UIUC or a big scholarship from WUSTL? How big is the difference between schools like WUSTL, UIUC, and Cornell? If you were my advisor, what would you tell me to do?
*Note: If Duke or Mich come thru, all bets are off... I'll be a Wolverine or a Blue Devil!*
