That's pretty much my question. Let me know what you guys think. I'm in at UCLA and with my sub-par 165 LSAT it doesn't appear I'll be milking much of a merit out of this (although I spoke with Dean Schwartz and he did not rule out the possibility of a 10k or less merit due to my softs); I also am in at W&L with a full ride scholly.
As a Los Angeles native, UCLA has always been my dream law school (the problem with dreams however is that they rarely come to fruition); however, the thought of spending $150-200 (excuse me, going in debt $150-200) versus taking a full ride to a reputable school is a sobering one.
Any advice? I'm not sold on big law, but if I go to UCLA I know that's what I'll have to be going for until I pay off my debts ... so, what do you folks think?

wanna come back to California? Or any state outside of the southeast? If so, UCLA. Also, come on! It's your dream. Milk that 10k and don't look back.dodgerboy86 wrote:That's pretty much my question.
