Pitt @ 8k a year: above median
W&L @ 6k a year: above median
Chi-Kent at 20K: above 3.25 (above median nets 10k)
I want to study IP law with the intention of working on the music/internet side of copyright (i.e. DMCA, DRM, etc)
I know W&L is the highest ranked, but the other two seem to have more IP potential (dedicated programs, certificates, etc) Also, even with the 6k pity scholly, W&L is still 32k a year.
I would have ruled out chi-kent because I want to go to a school with a real campus (as opposed to an office building), but I do like their financial offer...and Chicago rocks!
any thoughts?

I'd personally choose W&L...they have the best reputation of the bunch. Do you know by chance where a 3.25 falls on the curve at Chicago?

I think it matters where you want to work...all 3 are pretty regional (though W&L is the most national of the 3)...
Also, those scholly's from Pitt and W&L are basically no money at all...especially stipulations. You're talking token scholly's at best...
W&L places in the NYC market somewhat well, which probably has a lot of that market you're looking at for IP law...
I'd vote W&L if you don't mind living in Lexington.
For what it's worth, I'm deciding whether to attend W&L too...and I'm leaning toward no bc of the boring and secluded nature of Lexington.

Re: Pitt ($) vs. W&L ($) vs Chi-Kent ($$)
Pitt does have a nice IP program, but it's really geared more toward Biotech and hard science. I'm currently a 1L at Pitt and have a music degree (and wanted to do some sort of music/art law). They do have classes in the area, but it's not the strongest program, I would think.
However, I love my school and the area. W&L is the best ranked, but I would make my decision based on where you want to practice after graduation.
